+haggaeus Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 We are going to move back to Europe in June and as we will be shipping some stuff, I thought about packing in some ammo cans from cheaperthandirt.com (they are hard to get there). When I was checking cheaperthandirt's policies, I saw they charge you the same shipping regardless of the order size+weight (probably to some limit). If anybody wants to buy a small number of them (the price based on 6-pack) and pick them up in Garwood, NJ, let me know in this thread or by e-mail (I don't check PM so often). Quote
+bob393 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 It's tempting but no thanks. My stock is still good. Quote
+JMBella Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 I'll take a 6 pack. Sorry to hear that you're leaving us Hagg. We'll have to give you your North East Geocacher of the Year Award before you go. Quote
+Squealy Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 If they are .30 cal - I will take a six pack too. It is only a matter of time till Joe and I make it your way - we can pick 'em up then and hit some caches!!!! Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 If they are .30 cal - I will take a six pack too. [...] Yes, these sixpacks. I'll order 2 for myself + a few of larger individual cans. I'll order them in a week or so and email Squealy and eventual other interested cachers my address and phone #. Pickup until middle June. Quote
+Squealy Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Sh1t! That is cheap! I'll take 2 sixpacks (feels like the old days). We can definitely make the trip before mid-June. Thanks Hag! Quote
+scoobydooers Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 We'll have to give you your North East Geocacher of the Year Award before you go. I would love to get in on this if there is still time. could we give the award at Greenfields? I love that place <G> Scooby Quote
+bldebabe Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 If you haven't put an order through, I'd like a six pack. Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 Final call: Squealy 2x6, Bldebabe 1x6. Ordering tonight. Quote
+scoobydooers Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 if there is still time put me in for 1x6 Wally Quote
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 No more ammo cans for me. They have a history of disappearing in our area. It seems someone with a gps is picking up the ammo cans and leaving the contents on the ground. For some reason he isn't interested in peanut butter jars? Go figure. Quote
+JMBella Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Final call: Squealy 2x6, Bldebabe 1x6. Ordering tonight. What am I a piece of wood? You forgot about me. I'll take a 6 pack. Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 JMB: sorry, I thought you were referring to that offtopic award thing. Counting you in. The last and final call: Squealy 2x6, Bldebabe 1x6, Scoobydooers 1x6, JMBella 1x6. Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 hmmm... looks like cheaperthandirt has a weight limit 100lb, I am investigating what the overweight charges are - will post here when I get a reply, so we can decide if to place one or two orders. Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 ok, got a reply - the 6pack weight is 22lbs so I can order 2 mine + 2 extra to avoid the overweight charges. I suggest that the Long Islanders place their own order and I'll take the cans for Bldebabe and Scoobydoers. You don't need to take the whole sixpack if you don't want to, another cacher was contacting me being interested in 3 cans and I can take eventual leftovers. Quote
+haggaeus Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Order placed. I will email bldebabe and scoobydoers when I receive the cans. Quote
+Rusty O Junk Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 We can hook up our own - Hey Squealy, next time you are up to Nancy's come on over to NY, do a little caching then stop by Spruce mt. surplus and pick them up for $3.50 each including sales tax. That way you pay no shipping and grab a few caches ta boot. Tell him the New York Capital Region geocachers sent you. If you can wait I'm working on a deal for a whole pallet of 35 cal cans which I plan to have at our fall picnic on September 18,19. I posted the picnic cache a couple days ago and it's still waiting to be approved but you can catch a sneak preview here. Quote

+Squealy Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Thanks Rusty - I actually just got some stuff from them - decons, large decons and a 3qt tub - which is pretty cool. I will be heading that way in April - so I will definitely plan a day over that way. Joe, I charge shipping! Quote

+haggaeus Posted March 25, 2004 Author Posted March 25, 2004 The boxes with ammo boxes have arrived, bldebabe and scoobydooers contacted by email. I am leaving this thread open so it can be used for future joint orders. Quote
