Splitting the order may also make the USPS/AusPost shipping option more viable. It has been my experience when having goods shipped from overseas that the private companies - FedEx/UPS/DHL - are always more diligent in collecting fees/taxes/duties than Australia Post.

Any updates on this?

Are we going ahead with it?

My thoughts too, but maybe Andy has something more pressing on at the moment.

There is more to life than photography - or so my wife tells me

Sorry guys sent away on a work assignment, and with the weather being what it has become down here in Victoria I had to work some long days to beat the rain. Which I did mind you, crashed and burned (figuratively speaking-as I work in the auto industry) at 6 last night.

Yes let's split the orders. Tom has offered to take an order, LJH I understand to be outside of Victoria. So can I please find out where we all are to work out a split of the order.

Hold off on getting me the money, but for those that have I can either have them in my order or I will forward to the other person leading a small group.

OK have broken up the orders. It is not set in concrete it is only what I have jiggled around with. Have emailed out a spreadsheet and a PDF. My logic was to try and get everyone the best savings on post, and given that Tom and Peter had said they'd offer to take up some of the purchasing.

Thoughts everyone?

Also note that Ilford products have increased at Freestyle.

 

[Poisson Du Jour]

Yes, I'm happy with that scenario. A great deal more sensible.

The split looks OK to me. There's not much saving in the shipping cost for me compared to an individual order, but what the heck - at least there is some saving. As I'm one of the designated buyers I'll go ahead and email the other two participants in my part of the order, and get things moving.

Sounds good.

A big thanks to Andy C for his help with this!

I met him this morning to pick up my share. Thoroughly nice guy and tolerant of my change of plans (at least) half way through the order…

I'd happily deal with Andrew if/when there is another group order, and recommend him to anyone doing the same in the future.
