Yes, he he he! We beat a new record! 

I will send the request for 33 maps on Thursday and get a first quotation, so tomorrow is the last day to join in.

Ok, so I will join as well 2 maps, Poland.

USA Roundup

Hi folks,

Let's get going on this USA order of the Taiwan maps

Here's who we've got:

> USA (15):
* USA West Coast (10):
   - Mikeagan (x1) 
   - Allograft (x8) 
   - TheDoctor_13 (x1)
* Colorado(1):
   - edarling (x1) 
* Wisconsin (1):
   - gamgeefan2 (x1) 
* USA East Coast (3):
   - ny1050220 (x1) 
   - Carlium (x1) 
   - MetalGearHorus / Horus (x1) 

Payment will come in two parts. First, people will pay to get it across the pond to me.

The above represents $328.67 in total or $21.91 per map not including Customs Duties or domestic shipping. Bear in mind, the Europe group was charged around €30 for the currency conversion, so we will take this into account ahead of time. For €30/15 maps is €2 per map. Given the current conversation rate from Google of 0.86 €/$, then that's an extra $2.32 per map. So, that would be $21.91 + $2.32 = $24.32 that I want to receive from people via PayPal, VenMo, or possibly other means. If people choose to pay via PayPal, you've got absorb the fee if you want the assurance of insurance for paying for a good rather than friends and family. I must receive $24.32 per map after whatever associated costs there are. PM me, and I can give you payment addresses.

The second payment will have two, possibly three, parts. If I have to pay some customs and duties, then I will pass those along and will need to be reimbursed.. Second, I have to ship to you, so that's to be worked out. I usually do USPS first class, but if people want something different, then we can work that out too. Finally, if I have to pay for any containers, then that may be a third component. No tip requested or required.

My ballpark is no more than $45-$50 all in per map. Hopefully less. That being said, I am just looking to cover my out of pocket expenses. My time and effort is a labor of love to community to increase all of our enjoyment.

Please confirm, PM me, and let's get payment arranged to get these puppies to us!

USA update. Maps are in the mail.

So, for the drama. The USPS at 22nd and Van Ness told me that the USPS on 24th and Castro had tubes with caps. I went to USPS on 24th today to mail things, and no tubes with caps. Apparently, they don't exist and no USPS sells tubes with caps. Nevertheless, I was able to get some boxes that fit the maps snugly, and I reinforced the packing with tape. While there would have been an option to get some tubes with caps delivered from Amazon, I'm leaving the country on Dec 9, not returning until Jan 7. So, people would have to have waited a long time in all likelihood.

I made an executive decision to just make it happen today. PM's with tracking to follow.

Okay, well I tried to post a nice picture of them all packed and ready to go, but I got a 403 error.

Lastest update for Europe Round #2:

So we have 35 more people in Europe interested in an additional bulk order of Taiwan Maps:
* Germany (10): totor66, BigBoss, Lausitzer, ku61, konrad2605 (x3) , Zotto (x3)
* Finland (8 ): axelsson (x8)
* Poland (6) : ma_Rysia (x2), Mepel90, poxi, Snearone (x2)
* Italy (4): gabrielgeek, cletus81 (x3)
* Belgium (2): Den Ozzy, aenima
* The Netherlands (3): Geert De Vylder, The-Edge (x2)
* France (1): Lobo
* Spain (1): fc_cat

Closing the list tonight!

Any more participants?

Let me know who prefers to serve as distribution have for Europe: konrad2605 had voluteered first (top country), but now axelsson has the largest individual order.

The idea is to request the order sent to either of you. When you receive it, you would have to split the order, buy additional tubes/boxes to forward the corresponding lot of maps to one person per country who would distribute them to their final owners.

Who is the final volunteer? You will have to confirm the orders and collect the money to pay Swan Panasia and then a second round to ship the maps to each country.

I would need a PM with your the full address, email and phone number to send the request to Swan Panasia once it is decided.

Additionally, we would need to decide within each country who is the recipient and domestic distributor. I underline my proposal (first person with largest order).

We have 35 maps for second bulk order of Taiwan Maps:
* Germany (10): totor66, BigBoss, Lausitzer, ku61, konrad2605 (x3) , Zotto (x3)
* Finland (8 ): axelsson (x8)
* Poland (6) : ma_Rysia (x2), Mepel90, poxi, Snearone (x2)
* Italy (4): gabrielgeek, cletus81 (x3)
* Belgium (2): Den Ozzy, aenima
* The Netherlands (3): Geert De Vylder, The-Edge (x2)
* France (1): Lobo
* Spain (1): fc_cat

Please confirm if you agree. Thanks in advance.

Ok, no problem to act as domestic distributor for Italy!

USA update! I've been reimbursed by everyone, which is greatly appreciated and two of the eight have already been delivered. Somehow, one has been delivered clear across the country in New York even though one is California has not as of yet...as well several points in between.... How this is possible is beyond me.

Ha ha ha! There is a transdimensional whirpool in California... and you know it!

This is gret news.

+1 merit from me.
