Hi all the eggs is already on the plane. It'll reach here on Thursday via Fedex. David has miss out some eggs with this shipment so he will resend them in the next few days. I'll keep you guys posted. Those whose eggs are marked with a * means it'll arrive on the second shipment.

Any changes on the date I'll keep you guys posted here. So for those who have bought the eggs please logon and check for the status

I've divided the shipping cost by 20 bags of eggs ordered and the exchange rate of US$1 to S$1.75. I'll round the cents to the nearest dollar.

David had replaced the 2 bags of Aphy. rectogoense 'PEG 95-16' with
Aphy. striatum 'Lamberene' [1] (yes 20 eggs/$10.) SGD$22
Riv. cylindraceus (Al Castro strain) [1 bag] (yes 15 eggs/ $15. ) SGD $31

Let me know if anyone is interested or I'll have to keep them for myself!

I'll send all the eggs to Timebomb's place and you guys will collect from him. Thanks pal for the help :wink:

If there is any calculation mistake please highlight to me as it's not easy to coordinate such a massive orders like this when the eggs sent is different from the orders. Worst still have to work out the cost!

Sidetrack.....

Notes to those who want to buy eggs from fellow hobbyists here
With this exercise, you can see that buying eggs from overseas is not cheap afterall and a lot of correspondence have to be done! For those who have the intention to buy eggs from fellow hobbyist here, please don't bargain!!! If you think the eggs don't worth that much, don't buy.

Au,

It's not right that you should end up with eggs you have no intention of buying in the first place. I appreciate your efforts to help us get the eggs very much so I will take both bags of eggs from you. That should mean my total cost for eggs now is US $101. I'm not sure if my shipping cost would rise accordingly but to be fair, I should pay more for that too. So let's fix my shipping cost at US $10. That would mean a total of US $111 which is about equivalent to Sing $195. I'll pay you in cash when we meet.

Guys,

Here's my address:

Block 104 Towner Road
#08-324
Singapore 322104
Home tel: 63921969

My block is right beside Boon Keng MRT station. I don't know if the eggs will arrive in time but tentatively, let's set the time at 8.30 pm on Thursday night (20th November). Only those who bought eggs are invited.

Kwek Leong,

Thanks for your offer. Likewise, I don't like to see you ending up buying eggs you don't intend to keep. Why not we open the option to the rest and see if anyone is interested.

The price quoted in SGD is inclusive of shipping. So whoever is interested, just add the SGD$ to your previous orders.

Very well, Au, let's open the option to everyone, including those who were not in the original list of egg-buyers.

In case no one wants them, I will take both bags.

Au, I've just transferred the monies to your account (gotta love Internet Banking! :wink: ).

When you said, "David did not send", does it mean it'll arrive later OR it's been replaced (ie. the Aphy. rectogoense won't be coming?) and I take a pick between Aphy. striatum 'Lamberene' or Riv. cylindraceus.

If the rectogoense is on a later flight, I'll make the necessary transfer again.

Sorry if I sound confused, but my brain need viagra...

**CM Media** · 18th Nov 2003, 19:07

The Aphy. rectogoense 'PEG 95-16' had being replaced by Aphy. striatum 'Lamberene' or Riv. cylindraceus.

He could not collect enough good eggs from the Aphy. rectagoense. Maybe next time we'll order again. :wink:

**Eric Yeo** · 18th Nov 2003, 19:35

Au, I don't mind taking the Aphy. striatum 'Lamberene' if nobody want them.

Eric Yeo

**R^13^S** · 18th Nov 2003, 20:53

So, now is left with the Riv. cylindraceus (Al Castro strain) eggs, if no one wants it, i will be glad to have them. Au, i will transfer the money to you on this Thursday, as i will be depositing my pay check tomorrow.

Shipping cost ($2.50)

Thanks to you guys. At least I feel that my effort is worthwhile. I'm running out of space to house them of else I'll adopt them.

No, you must come on Thursday. If you can't make it at 8.30, come at 9.30 or later. I will wait for you. I can't hold the eggs for you because you have a bag of non-annual eggs. Chances are the eggs may already be due for hatching so it may too late by Saturday. I don't want to hatch the eggs for you. You have to do it yourself because if they don't hatch, you won't blame me for it.

And please, Rashid, I'm sure you know how to spell "tomorrow", right? After all my cajoling, persuading, pestering, urging, threatening and all, how could you write "tomorrow" as "tomoro"? You may not be aware of this but I received 3 private messages from foreigners in this forum saying that they are very supportive of my stand on not allowing "bad" English in this forum.

Don't blame me if I jump on you if you don't spell properly. I can forgive poor English but I won't stand for anyone who deliberately mangles the language.

Thank you very much, Rashid. On hindsight, I sounded pretty harsh in my reply to you yesterday. Hope you understand why sms and all gets on my nerves.

But (big sigh), I have to jump on you again. Please, in future, when quoting someone's post, quote only what is relevant. You quoted so many of my sentences I have to scroll from left to right before I can read your reply. It's really a waste of bandwidth and everybody's time. Please quote only what is necessary. Actually in many instances, there's no need to quote at all.
