Bulk order - Breather bags from Novalek

**stormhawk** · 4th Sep 2005, 07:42

Bill, I think Ronnie will inform you if help is required. He's off on a holiday with the family till the 7th so he'll reply when he gets back.

**RonWill** · 8th Sep 2005, 11:51

Bill, I was off on a back-packing trip at Pulau Rawa, one of Malaysia's many islands. Nice beaches and very laid back lifestyle. Like my kids, I'm well toasted (except where the sun doesn't shine

) Think I need another holiday to recuperate from this trip.

I am following up on Novalek's Pro-forma invoice, to have the package delivered to you.

Will update the rest when I have more news.

**ruyle** · 8th Sep 2005, 20:08

Sounds like you had fun, Ronnie! Keep me posted on the order. I'll let you
know when I receive it, and when it is enroute to you.

Bill

An afterthought...

I wouldn't want to sort out the 100's of bags alone. When the parcel arrives, please don't make me send out invites for help. As the locals would put it, "be automatic".

For Mohamad (BFG), I've never dealt with you before. Kindly email me so we can make arrangements for payment and collection.

**stormhawk** · 20th Oct 2005, 01:54

Ron,

Give me a call when the package arrives and I'll help you sort them out.

**keehoe** · 20th Oct 2005, 12:08

I will join the party also. Ron, you got another Package arriving in few days. Get your tiny live food culture ready. You will need it, i will too ^^"

**RonWill** · 20th Oct 2005, 14:05

Oooooo..... I love surprises

Microscopic soup ready to handle all but cold-water critters. I'll save a tub for you too!

Jian Yang, thanks for the offer to help. Will keep you posted.

**BFG** · 23rd Oct 2005, 00:11

Ronwill, you have pm.

**Blessedsilence** · 23rd Oct 2005, 22:48

One thing about their shipments, they have the breather bags sorted out in packages of 100 already, so for an order of 700 breather bags (4X6) it will be 7 packages of 100 so it might not be as bad as you think.

Just one word... WHEW !! Thank for letting me know, Ray. Yeah, it isn't so bad after all and now I can sleep better!

Mohamad (BFG), the bags should be on it's way to Bill and when it arrives in SG, everyone will be updated.

**ruyle** · 27th Oct 2005, 23:18

Oh Ronnniieeeee, they're here! It is now 10:14am and I have received
5 boxes from Novalek

I will take them home tonight and relabel
them to your place of work, that is, if you're still working there

I
intend to send USPS surface, but it looks like it will run maybe $100USD
or more. I will send you the postal invoices by separate mail. You know
my paypal address

GOSH

This is gonna be one expensive group order <faint

>

Bill, please send to my work place. In the unfortunate event that I'm no longer there, my colleagues will receive them and relay their arrival to me.

I'm wondering tho, why 5 boxes! Any possibility of consolidating all the items into one package and yes please, via lowest shipping mode. Will transfer to your account once the numbers are in.

For those involved, please dig into those pockets...

Zul, I think we need to revise the division of shipping costs in the spreadsheet or should we wait till items arrive?

**ruyle** · 28th Oct 2005, 01:18

Ronnie,
There are 2 boxes of 18lbs each that are the bags, plus one that is only
3lbs, presumably of bags, plus 2 boxes of 6 each Kordon Fish Catchers.
Curiously enough, the fish catchers are made in China. Perhaps some
investigation would greatly improve the linearity of this, in future
procurements!

I'll try consolidating this...gonna be a big heavy
box!

Bill

**ruyle** · 28th Oct 2005, 01:32

I'm also gonna leave this stuff locked up in my shop (have boxes and tape
at work) and bring in the customs forms to fill out, then to post office

Hopefully have them shipped out this Saturday morning. I'm thinking it
might be best to consolidate the fish catchers to one box, and the bags to
one box. I'd be afraid the fish catchers would get crunched due to sloppy
handling, and from the mass of the bags, were they included.

Bill

**RonWill** · 28th Oct 2005, 02:15

Bill, consolidate as you deem best. Hopefully, the postage won't make the rest of the guys go "ouch!"

**ruyle** · 28th Oct 2005, 03:00

I could try filling some of the bags with helium to cut down the weight...
hopefully they'd hold gas till they cleared weighing at the post office!

But then size of the box would be a problem...

Ronnie, will let you know how it shakes out.

Bill

I'll revised the shipping cost once Bill advised you. This will get the guys prepared to pay you coz this is one heck of an order....

**ruyle** · 29th Oct 2005, 04:48

Ronnie,
I think Novalek sent way more than what you ordered. The 3lb box had
a whole bunch of 2.5x5 (in a continuous string) plus (2) 100-count bags
of 4x8. I used these bags to pad around the 2 boxes in a bigger box so
now have consolidated 3 boxes. There is no way in hell 12 bags of 100ea
4x8 weighs 18 pounds! I think you guys are gonna end up being the regional
supplier of breather bags

Check your invoice as to what
they were supposed to send. I didn't open the 2 heavy boxes to check
contents, but you may very well have a double (or more!) order here.

Bill

**ruyle** · 29th Oct 2005, 05:09

Much as I hated to, I broke open the box I'd double-taped and each of
the heavy boxes contains 5000 bags of 4x8! Plus you have 2 bags of 100
and all the loose strings of bags are no doubt 1400 of the 2.5x5!

I checked the invoice: 1200 4x8
1400 2.5x5
12 fish catchers
Yeah, I wondered why this was so heavy! Novalek hooked you guys up!

Bill

LMK if you want all sent to you at once, pronto.
