Isn't it at that point faster/cheaper to just FedEx that order (and similar large ones that may still be in the pipeline)? That way you/your guys don't have to repack anything, and I suspect that one large box FedExed comes out quite a bit cheaper than multiple USPS shipments.

:D You should try pricing an international shipment at Fedex or UPS sometime. If USPS was $200 to Australia, that's about 50lbs. Fedex or UPS would be about $500 for the same weight. USPS for half that weight is about half the price, $100 and change, but UPS and Fedex are still $350.

I suspect USPS is hated a little less now . . . ;)

Yes Fed EX is faster/cheaper, but EVERYONE overwelmingly voted/requested USPS for their out-of-USA shipping. I'm just trying to please.

That might be true, but now I must take that returned USPS pkg and make and ship 2 packages out of it and that brings the USPS price back up. With Fed Ex, this one package would have shipped with no problems.

Yes, for over $500. Two packages with USPS will only be a little more than the original combined weight. Try it, you will see.

From USPS site:

25 lbs to Australia: $109.73
50 lbs to Australia: $198.79

If everyone would have paid for their shipping, we would be more than 1/3 through this.

That's also why I was warning about my upcomig travels... I don't want to be one of "those guys" holding something up for someone else.

(I could pay right now... ;);) nudge, nudge, know what I mean? :D)
 
I have to confess that I didn't get many invoices done last weekend. I had many come over to get their gear. One drove down from Sacramento, an 8 hour drive. On top of that I had a video shoot on Saturday. It was again good to meet you guys.
On another note I just received my Fed Ex delivery notices and see along with many others, our own Harvey G delivery has been delivered.

We're just under 25% shipped. Yesterday I invoiced around 30 orders. These orders are ready to ship once payment is made. There is still a lot of orders ready to ship that have been invoiced over 2 weeks ago but have not received payment. These orders are taking up space and are really slowing things down for the rest.

Just a reminder/suggestion, the people who have been invoiced may not be aware they have been invoiced. I never got notification. I think it would be wise to send them another email notification or even a mass email telling everyone to check the console.

Just a thought.
 
Chance,

Sorry for all the stupid questions about ribbons but here is another one...

Do you already know who needs which ribbons and how many, or do we need to let you know our needs before our order ships?

At least while I wait for the red "no" to change I can perhaps anticipate a quick "Harvey G" review.
Love reading his reports.
 
got my mics today, took a bunch of photos and will try to do some tracking on my upright tonight.

1. should i start a new thread for reviews/mod discussion etc.?

2. does anyone have some space somewhere to host some sound clips?
i'm thinking i'll compare my 6802 and 1200 with my 414 and tlm 103 through my neve clones from seventh circle audio. i just don't have anywhere to post 'em.

somebody PM me if they have space and are interested...
 
Chance,

I need the following items from the previous group buy:

two ribbons for ACM-3 mics

one shockmount for ACM-670 mic. I can send you copies of our previous emails if that will help. Let me know what to put in the subject title.

Thanks.

Well, aside from just looking at them, Alex immediately grabbed the 73 and 84 and he's in recording bass and guitars with them as I type this. He loves the D.I. on bass (not sure which unit he used).

I have a mix session tomorrow, so no tryouts there, but next week, I've got a CSNY type group in and I'll give both units a workout then.

I can host your sound files. Shoot me a PM when you're ready and I'll give you an email to send them to.

Looking forward to your impressions.
If you don't post it in here I'd appreciate a heads up as to where you post.
I don't haunt too many recording forums.
