FA & LA Banana Cream (colorless) Group Buys
submitted almost 11 years ago by Botboy141Gunner's Gold Gourmet E-Juice

Edit: 12/17/14: LA Banana Cream (colorless) arrived today. Spoke with DHL about the FA, they couldn't give me a date but said it should be in route from OH to IL today. Bottles for re-packaging the Banana Cream should be here Thursday or Friday I believe, if the weekend isn't too crazy, should start shipping as early as Monday.

Edit: Spreadsheet tracker linked below for Banana Cream Group Buy has been fully updated. IF YOU HAVE MADE PAYMENT BUT ARE NOT SHOWING PAID HERE, EMAIL SUPPORT@GGGEJUICE.COM with your PayPal or GoogleWallet Transaction ID# or your GGGEJUICE.COM Order #.

I did receive some PayPal payments that did not follow the instructions in the OP, so I either don't know who it is, have no mailing address, or just have money and nothing else...

Just wanted to get an update out there that hopefully most people will see without having to send a PM to every single person (over 100) involved in these group buys.


##FA Group Buy Update

Order was placed with FA on December 6th. I received a phone call from DHL on Sunday December 14th saying that the package was scheduled to be delivered the next business day, unfortunately, when I check tracking on their website, it's still showing in OH, has cleared customs, but is sitting there. I will be getting in touch with them tomorrow to get an update. I would expect it's delivered to me this week.

I have placed the order for bottles and pressure seal caps for the four (4) ounce bottles, it could take up to a week from the time I receive until these ship out to you. If FA delivers here in the next couple days, you can expect delivery most likely the week after Christmas (depending on Priority Mail versus First Class Mail).


###LA Banana Cream (colorless)

Order was confirmed with the president of LorAnn on Friday, December 5th after a few hiccups (them freaking out that they might not be able to do it, then talking to the pres and getting it done). This order shipped today (Tues. 12/16) and I expect delivery no later than Monday but honestly, expect it here Wednesday/Thursday.

I will be making some adjustments to the bottle sizes that I had originally offered, I will not be shipping 1 liter or even 16oz (half liter) bottles. The pressure seal caps I was able to acquire will not fit the threads on my plastic bottles larger than 12oz. You will still receive the same total amount of flavor, it just might come in more bottles than you had anticipated. This will also help me to insure that the bottles all fit in the appropriate sized boxes (no larger than Medium Flat Rate). As this is my adjustment to ensure no leakage during shipment, there will be no price adjustments made to individuals that have already paid. If you are on the waitlist, you may need to pay an additional dollar or two depending on order size to accommodate this change but I still need to review the numbers.

You should expect to receive this around the same time as the FA order and if you participated in both orders, they may wind up shipping together depending on the situation and how the timeline's work out.

I have NOT yet started collecting payments from individuals on the waitlist (been super swamped with things outside of the group buy the last two weeks). I am going to review all payments made thus far this evening and update them to the tracker. I will pursue wait listed individuals (in the order they were waitlisted) at my convenience to move some of the excess once it has arrived.

If you notice you are high on the waitlist on THIS TRACKING SHEET you should be expecting a Reddit PM from me within the next week or so offering you the opportunity to make payment. I'll give you one week to get payment made. Once payment has been received, you can expect your order to ship in approximately one week.

I'll hit you up on Skype once shit gets in and I start getting it out to see where we are on the waitlist. Looks like most payments wound up coming in, I know your top on the waitlist for your 2nd liter though.

I humbly ask to be put on the waitlist for a 120 of banana cream please? Can pay immediately if necessary. :-)
If not, no worries. Ill just have to catch a different one later. :-)

Can add you but it'll likely just provide you with top priority on the next one. Will add you regardless.

No problem. I wish I would have seen this when you started it. But alas, no worries. Thanks!

Damnit the wait list is so long for banana cream and I desire some but I kissed the buy. DOH

by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

The major advantage is that folks on the waitlist that don't get fulfilled this go around will get first priority on the next one. Not sure if/when that'll take place, but if/when I do another, waitlist = first priority.

You should post picture updates when it all comes in! Mostly interested to see all the FA in a picture. Haha. Will make sure I have a spare set of boxers nearby when I see it.

I will definitely be snapping photos...5 gallons of Banana Cream....

~12 liters from FA and a few smaller bottles so I didn't have to order insane amounts of extras.

I just imagine a five gallon bucket/jug with the banana cream. The FA should be more impressive. How much was shipping for these orders? 5 gallons worth of liquid weighs a decent amount.

by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

Shipping from LA was like $19. UPS ground and I'm only a state and a half away.

Shipping from FA was ~$250 via DHL international.

If anyone shorts you- You can double my order. If you are short any costs for shipping or materials let me know and I can chip in on that too. You put these things together to help all of us, I want to make sure we hold up our end too. Thank you for being awesome.

by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

I doubt I'll be shorted at all. Collected payments for about 85% of the initial offer but had given up my own portion to reserves cause /u/zerotoleranceftw had asked me for some before I ever launched it but didn't get in until the tail end. I'm pretty sure between what he wants and as much as I want, we'll have very little left over for the waitlist which is currently approaching 3 gallons worth.

Not enough to go around at the moment lol!

Good! Maybe it will prompt LorAnn to offer it without coloring then if they understood the demand.

I offered because I thought you've been left holding the bag before, didn't want to see that happen.

I'm #63. Is that good are bad? When should I make payment?

1 points
 
by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

You were supposed to pay by the first ya goof.

Follow the instructions HERE in the OP

Make payment ASAP before I give your reserve away ;-)

Be sure to include the proper information as indicated in the OP.

why does it say "Please note: Shipping rates have been updated based on your new "ship to" address. Please review then resubmit your order." when I try to checkout?

0 points
 
by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

Just ignore it, it's cause I had to exempt this product from including shipping costs where typically through my site it's $25 for free shipping. Just ignore, payment received, you're good to go.

OK never mind I got it, I'm retarded. My order number is 180. Thanks, man. I almost screwed that up.

> Make payment ASAP before I give your reserve away ;-)

I thought you already had. I PMed you some days ago about it but your response implied it was too late to just pay it, so I decided not to pursue the waitlist. In any case, you have lots of interest on the waitlist so just cancel me.

0 points
 
by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

Can do. Perhaps I thought you were on the waitlist and without a reserve based on the PM /shrug.

Your call, can pay today or I'll cancel, doesn't matter either way.

What a great way to ring in the New Year! I really do appreciate all you do 'round here and I hope you won't get too crazy trying to get it all out. Seriously, launching a new biz and the holidays and all this on top? If it takes a couple extra days or a week or whatever to get it, don't sweat it. We'll all be fine :)

11 people haven't paid, and I'm wait list #10. C'mon slackers, keep on slackin! I want some nana cream! :D

by Botboy141almost 11 years agoAlmost caught up on orders...

Yeah except that the first Waitlist is for a liter and I still haven't gotten any for myself :-P

Odds are the waitlist won't be tapped much if any. I'll probably hold off til it arrives and I get most of it broken down before hitting the list at all.

Ok, I guess I'll be less trigger shy the next time (if) one of these comes around again. Thanks for you work on this!

Please put me on the waiting list! Been trying to get a hold of this but just keep barely missing these group buys. Would like to purchasing 2x120ml bottles!

Also, is there a way I can find out when this is happening again? Will you be sending PMs or will I just have to check every other day?

I just noticed that cathousevapor.com also has the colorless banana cream and watermelon in stock!
