ok, i gotta stop replying without finishing the thread...
arklan - Any indication from friedcat about securing a place in line? That's the only reason to pay sooner that I can see.
not that i've hear,d no.

as to your other post - yup. agreed. i'll be sending out the PM's with payment requests shortly.
yea, USPS will be the carrier.
i pm'd friedcat, and he has said we can pay anytime.
as to a hard stop: 48 hours from now, i will stop accepting orders. 7 days from then, payments to escrow will be expected to be completed and all money gathered.
so we'll send payment to friedcat in 9 days, basically.
i'll update the OP accordingly.
I haven't been following this closely, but to confirm, we won't be getting the sticks any quicker if we send payment quicker than this?
(In other words, waiting a week for payment is fine?)
Also, in case I forget about this, please send a PM when everything is in order.
correct.
and yea, i'm catching up on this thread then sending the pm's.
Speaking as a representatives for the bulk buyers (if I can presume), any order of 10 units or more should be shipped out USPS overnight. It's only 20 USD.
Arklan - Does this sound OK?
If OP wants to do a S&H discount on "bulk" orders, great, but I don't mind either way.
I'll be a bit chafed if there isn't a discount on shipping for "bulk" orders. ~$55 to ship 10 USB devices through USPS from UT to OR is exorbitant.
excellent idea.
alternatively - feel free to pm me to discuss discounting bulk orders.
