Group Buy? Gimme Coffee?

RE*AC*TOR

Check it out - http://www.gimmecoffee.com/Coffee-C13.aspx

Don't normally do overseas orders, but via email they've kindly agreed to do so.

A 3 day option for 20lbs works out at $260, while a 5 day option is $110.

Any takers?

Khannie

Just for clarity....that's 110 + coffee cost, right?

RE*AC*TOR

Yeah - just the shipping cost there.

20lbs of coffee would be in the $300 region for the coffee.

Mr Magnolia

I'm in.

Clinker

Ah, sure why not?

donnacha

a n other

RE*AC*TOR

Start lashing up the orders so.

Mr Magnolia

Any reccommendations? What do you know about this place? I've seen them mentioned but know little about them.

RE*AC*TOR

Big presence in the New York coffee scene.

The Leftist espresso blend is one you tend to read a bit about on some of the coffee forums, though I can't recommend in either direction, as I've never had any of their coffees.

Their reputation is v. good though, so I'd read the descriptions, and have a go.

Clinker

I'd like:

1. Costa Rica Las Lajas organic
2. Rwanda Epiphanie
3. Platinum Blonde Blend

(1 lb of each, whole roast beans, please!). I might go for more variety if they came in ½ lb bags!

SeaSide

count me in

thanks

hshortt

Me too please. I'll check them out this morning to work out what I'd like. Happy to host for collection too.

Cheers
Howard

Some recommendations from Gimme for those in need:

SeaSide

OK

I'll go for 2 x Leftist, 1 x Panama Hartman and 1 x Rwanda Epiphanie.

I did offer to be the dealer before so let me know.

If we get our ducks in a row over the weekend, I reckon an early Monday order would be the best.

Kannon

I owe Mr. Mag some o the good stuff too...

We are assuming they'll pro-rata the cost of shipping to the weight. We are at 33 pounds of coffee. Was it an offer from them to ship 20 pounds ?

Cheers

SeaSide

I've asked for a confirmed price on the shipping.

The US Postal Service has a flat rate up to 20lb in a standard box 12" x 12" x 5-1/2"

Not sure how much coffee will fit in one box

SeaSide

Okay Ladies,

Order went off today. Received final shipping costs (USD 163.76) and a 15% discount. Told to expect everything to ship on Wednesday.

Will post up updated spreadsheet tomorrow.

Can anyone remind me what the duty rate is?

Thanks

Mr Magnolia

I *think* the duty works out at ~ 10%, not sure though.

When's the ETA?

SeaSide

Right here is the final calculation:

I would expect to receive delivery on Monday if it ships on Wednesday.

It really depends on when it arrives. It would be nice to do something decent, but so many people with different timetables and lives it can be difficult.

What ever suits a when it arrives, a meet would be good

Khannie

Agreed. I'm up for a meet.

Your item left the United States from ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at 1:45 PM on August 20, 2009. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

That's normal. Will either pick up when it arrives in central sorting in Port Laoise, in which case it'll be delivered the following day, or it'll pick up the morning it's being delivered.

I assume this will arrive tomorrow?

Just checked and it's sitting in Port Laoise
