Tuscan Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 At the moment I am for sure getting two. I have quite a few people to talk to about this, so how soon do you want to have a final order number from everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I would like one....I'm in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I will definitely take one (Calgary). I thought I missed the boat on this. I'm not sure how to pay for it, but considering I stood up Stuart for the VAG match, maybe I'll buy him a plane ticket to TO and he can pay for ours in cash.

BrennanFan Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 The transaction is complete and our scarves are now being manufactured. They will be in Toronto in 3 to 4 weeks. Check the first post for payment instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 So the cost is $25 (scarf+shipping) EACH or do we only need to add $5 to our scarf total? For myself, that would be $45 (20+20+5) for the two scarves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If the guys from Winnipeg want, I can bring all the Winnipeg scarves back with me from the Jamaica match. Brennanfan, just consider them all to have paid, and they can pay me direct. Just take the money out of the money you are sending me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mailed 6 posters today, and the bill was $99 with packaging and shipping. And that was not Express Post, but regular Canada Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the actual shipping cost is going to be, but even at $25 for each scarf, we were expecting shipping to eat into our expected profit. I'd say $5 shipping for each (just to be safe), but I would welcome any other thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg Fury Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 And just so you guys are aware, the scarves are costing approximately $2000. We are using approximately $800 from the Voyageurs Cup account, with the rest coming from my personal bank account. We hope to use the profits to purchase a Voyageurs flag and banner.

For myself, that would be $45 (20+20+5) for the two scarves. I think for the majority of posters like myself who are only ordering 1 or 2 scarves it is fine to charge $5 postage per scarf. It might not be completely fair to charge postage per scarf for those who have ordered 4 or more especially if all the scarves are going to one person in a particular city. However, I will let those who have larger orders speak for themselves on that matter. As I stated before I am willing to distribute the Montreal scarves and since I attend most Impact games and live downtown it should be pretty easy for people to get them from me.

I'd say $5 shipping for each (just to be safe), but I would welcome any other thoughts. Go to CanadaPost.Ca, check out actual shipping costs. Since you're shipping a box to each city, you're probably into $20 per city - if you want to use that as an estimate, you should be within $5/city. For a single scarf, walk over to Grand and Toy, buy an 8x10 expandable envelope and carefully fold it so it's 2cm thick. For two scarves, use a box and assume it's $10 or $15. Add in a few dollars if you need to buy a box or some wrapping paper and a marker, and you're set. If you do this carefully, $5 should be fine. Make sure your singles fit in your envelope, though, because the difference in shipping is $2.50/letter (+$1/envelope) and up to $10/box. If you want a suggestion on fair-and-equitable shipping costs...$5 each for the first two scarves per shipment, $1 (or $2) for each additional scarf. But $25 for a scarf is quite reasonable and anyone complaining (vs. asking) about the high cost of shipping should be fairly accused of whining. That leaves your distributors to choose whether to charge their people $25 (to cover the inconvenience and risk of being a distributor) or $21. As long as you are transparent BrennanFan no one can accuse someone of hidden dealing for profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
