Pyro Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 I cannot receive a pallet here in The Villages, but would like to go in on one. I'd like to get five boxes and will take up to ten to help get the pallet together. Any interest by people within 100 miles of Orlando?
Firemonkey Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 I might be a player at the lower prices. Of course, the shipping is still going to be as much as the charcoal... Dennis, what the shipping to Orlando for 600 and 1000#
Tucker Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Orlando Charcoal share I would be interested in several boxes, say half-dozen. Does that help?
Firemonkey Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Sure does, Tucker. I think we have the 600# covered. Lets see if anyone else wants in while they can.
Tucker Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Cool. Let me know how we need to handle the $$. I can drive to Orlando to pickup.
Don Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Is this still avail? I am in Jax but could travel.
Tucker Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Jax - Travel Don - if this goes down we can drive one vehicle down. I am basically in Jax (near Julington Creek). You drive south to me, we can go to Orlando in one truck.
Pyro Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Posted August 27, 2008 Where to accept delivery? It looks like we have enough people involved to order a pallet. The only thing missing is a delivery point. I don't have access to a loading dock. Do any of you?
Firemonkey Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 I may. Worst case, we pick it up at the terminal in Orlando.
DennisLinkletter Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I might be a player at the lower prices. Of course, the shipping is still going to be as much as the charcoal... Dennis, what the shipping to Orlando for 600 and 1000# 600 to terminal is going to be $158 or 26¢ lb 1,000 to terminal is going to be $218 or 21¢ lb So much less than you expected.. Should I rise the price of the charcoal?
Pyro Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 Let's Get It Done! As I understand the situation as of now, we have four of us who want to go in on this. (Don, Tucker, Firemonkey and me-Pyro). To get to the 600 pounds we would need to order twenty-eight cases or seven each. The cost breakdown for this order would be: Charcoal $338.80 Shipping 117.86 Pallet load & shrink-wrap 27.50 Warehouse in/out fees 15.00 Total $499.16 Cost per case $17.82 Cost for each of us $124.79 There is always something you forget to account for, so plan on $150 each. This is a bargain that we not likely to come across again. While this may not be ‘the good stuff’, it is certainly better than any other extruded charcoal available today. If you doubt that, please note that The Naked Whiz has been trying to get a pallet started for North Carolina. If this stuff is good enough for TNW, it is good enough for me. If the other three of you agree, I will find out about the details including what terminal it will be shipped to and how long we have to pick it up. Once we have decided to ‘go’, I will send the necessary check/checks and collect from each of you upon arrival. I can borrow a pickup truck to carry the stuff, but cannot load/unload w/o help. Let me know what you want to do. I can handle eight or ten boxes but not a full pallet load. Wayne
Tucker Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 Order Share I am in for 7 boxes. I may be able to be flexible during the week to meet you in Orlando and unload if needs be, but weekend is best. Just let me know - send me an email (address in my profile).
DennisLinkletter Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Please send me an Email How do we order? Please send me an Email and I'll send you each an online invoice so you can purchase safely with a credit card.
Don Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 I wanted ten . If this is not a problem.
Firemonkey Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Do we have enough to get the 1000/lb pallet? The pallet itself is 45 pounds, so that leaves 955# or 44 boxes to reach the 1000# threshold, and reduced shipping. That is 12.10 plus 4.62 shipping/box plus 1 pound of shipping (.21) for the pallet weight = $16.93 box .63 per box for shrink wrap .17/box in/out fees (is that 7.50 each way, or total. If each, double the amount) So that looks like 17.73/box grand total if we go for 44 boxes - slightly less per box if we get more. 12 boxes is no problem here, and maybe a few more if necessary. Anyone else interested in upping their volume? I emailed a couple of others who may join in, too. BTW, if anyone else wants to get involved, i think Dennis said the max pallet was like 2000 pounds!
Pyro Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Posted September 1, 2008 At the moment we have 36 boxes (per my calculation). We are well over the 600 lb threshold and within eight boxes of the 44 needed for the 100lb pallet. I have sent out a couple of e-mails myself. Let's try to put this to bed by Wednesday morning. I will up my order, if needed.
Turtle Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Eight more Count me in for eight boxes if they are still available! Turtle
Pyro Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Posted September 1, 2008 Turtle, you are in for eight. We now have met the 600 lb requirement and will go for 1,000. Thanks everyone for making this happen. Any people from FL, GA or AL feel free to jump in. The more, the merrier.
Pyro Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Posted September 2, 2008 Over the Top!! Here is the count as I have it: Turtle - 15 boxes tcoliver - 5 boxes Don - 10 boxes FireMonkey - 12 boxes Pyro - 10 boxes Don - 10 boxes Tucker - 7 boxes Total - 69 Boxes Please let me know of any mistakes I have made or any changes desired by Wednesday afternoon. We are well over the 1,000 pound discount point (by more than 500 pounds). I will place the order on Wednesday and let everyone know when it is coming in, where and how much via this thread. Wayne
