Please read this entire post. I am NOT RESPONDING TO PMs that ask a question that is answered here, and I am NOT taking orders via PM. This group buy is closed.
Sorry to be a hardass about it, but I'm not making any money doing this and I've already got people who clearly didn't read the post.
Aug 8 Update:
The new pallet has been ordered and the sales guy will be getting back to me whether it'll be ready for me to pick up tomorrow (Tuesday Aug. 9).
The PMs will go out to the first people on the list for this pallet. There's 48 cases in a pallet, I have orders from another site and from a couple friends, and I will post here who has been contacted and who is on standby for this pallet. Once this pallet is distributed I am going to hold off doing any more for a few months, so if those at the end of the line don't get any, I'm sorry.
MREs - APack Ready Meals - Self-Heating Emergency Meals Ready to Eat
I will buy the pallet UP FRONT and ONLY collect money once I have MREs in my possession: no lynch mobs showing up at the Ranch because I've been holding money for several months like happened to a certain member here last year. Obviously this means I would have the risk of not everyone making good on their promises to buy and I could potentially be stuck with extra cases of MREs. Not a huge deal for me since we buy several cases a year anyway.
So, here's how I'm going to run it: I will buy 1 pallet. That's 48 cases. WHEN I have the MREs in my possession I will collect payments via paypal, CC (both will incur whatever additional service charge), or cash on collection. Once you have paid, your username gets written on the case(s) and they are yours until the supply chain can get them to you.
Since I am buying these up front it's going to be first come, first served. ie, you say, "I want 2 cases" then you have committed to buying 2 cases. Until I actually have possession of the pallet you can change your mind or quantity. If you cannot make good on your interest (this means actually paying for them) within 1 week of when I have MREs in my possession, then you go to the end of the line for availability.
If I am stuck with 20 extra cases of MREs at the end, I will be selling them for a profit here or elsewhere. To be clear, if you get in on the buy early, I am not making any profit at all. The only way I would profit from this deal is if I end up getting stuck with a bunch of people backing out once I have paid for them and there's not enough people standing by with requests at which point I'll be selling the remaining ones at a higher price.
Anyone who backs out once I have the MREs in my possession will get a -1 posted from me. Sorry to be a hardass but I can guarantee there are at least a few folks who will have unexpected expenses and won't make good on their commitment. I try very hard not to be that kind of person.
As far as distribution, it's up to each purchaser to pick them up or arrange the supply chain to pick them up. I am in Bedford and Bloomington weekly, I would be picking them up in Evansville and can meet folks down south the day I pick them up, and once a month or so I get up to Indy. I am NOT going to be a delivery service running around the state.
