Stir Plate Bulk Buy

[Brewers Hardware]

Here's a thought I just had that might make keeping track of all this a little easier, at least from the money side:

If you guys can all agree on the shipping point for each region, I can setup a page just for Aussie Home Brewer that has a checkout button specific to the shipping location for each point. Since PayPal can keep track of inventory, I can start with an inventory of 8 and when it hits zero you'll know that a batch is being wrapped up and on the way.

That way each person can pay individually with the understanding that their plate will be shipped to the agreed upon destination as soon as a total of 8 is reached. (once the boards hit of course) You'll be able to check the status of each batch of 8 by just checking how many are still 'available'.

The only problem I can think of is I won't be including individual invoices in the shipment but can email all that to the point of contact so they know where to distribute the plates for that order. So the point of contact will still be the one responsible for making sure the people that paid on that shipment are the ones who get their plates as I won't have any control over that.

I can setup buttons for as many shipping points as are required.

Not sure if this idea helps or hurts but I'm open for discussion on any way I can to help make this all smooth.

Thanks again,
Derrin

EDIT: This is what I had in mind, but i thought the PayPal button would display the inventory available. I'm still working on that. It might only take you to a different page when you try to check out and there aren't any available. Anyway, here is the mockup: http://brewershardware.com/AHBStirPlate.htm I own Brewer's Hardware as well and that's the site I'm kinda focusing my energy into as that's why it's there and not on stirplates.com

I've pm'd all Vic participants.
by my count there are 12 of us so it will have to be two shipments.

Homebrewer79 has also put his hand up, so maybe we could each take a delivery.

let me know.

cheers

I ordered 8 earlier in the week for NSW.
I have paid for all of them, but will have to figure out the cost, as PayPal has a lower rate than the actual exchnge rate.
Obviously one will be for me and i have also put aside for the following.

Petesbrew
Rukh
Slacka
Lachlan (I think, will confirm)

So whoever pm's first will be in.

Cheers
Eric

 

[Moray]

just been thinking about this further.

If we each send a self addressed post pack to our state reps, they can just stick in the stirplate and drop it in the mail.
This seems be to working well for the chinese hop buy.

what do you guys think?

 

[doon]

Yeah that sounds good! Just let me know size of post pack etc and will do

My eight have been taken, although i am still waiting for Lachlan to confirm, but I have a person taking that one if Lachlan doesn't. Once these have arrived i may order another 8, but won't confirm this till I get these ones first.

No problem Harl's,
when i missed out on eric8's list i realy won't one before xmas so i PM'd eric and ask him how he went about ordering his lot and did the same.

when you look at the full list there will need to be a 3rd order for NSW anyway, so i thought i might as well have it a go.

 

[Effect]

for all the sa and wa people who sent me $$$ for the stirplates, they all got sent off today and you should receive them tomorrow.

Cheers
Phil

PS - got mine cranking today. 2 litre flask and it worked first time fine! So glad I got one

Yeah sorry to those who missed out, but you had to be quick. It is very easy dealing with Derrin, so guys in other states, if you want them, order them, it really isn't that much of a hassle.

If no one in NSW wants to put there hand up for another lot, maybe I can be persuaded to do another lot :blink:

Any one in WA thinking of doing an order?

I bought one from Jaycar. It cost $30. It was well overpriced and if you searched more than I did I am sure you could find one for cheaper. Jaycar just happens to be one block away from where I live so it was just the easy option. I just took in the stir plate and got some help from the assistants. The plate itself requires ~14-18VDC 250mA with a 2.5mm DC coax plug.

Ha Phillip Can you please measure the plug on the end of your stir plate voltage adaptor, there are a few 15volt adaptors on ebay ranging in price from $6 to $15 bucks, the plug measures 2.5mm inside and 5.5mm outside on them all.
just seeing if it's the same as the one you have..

cheers.

You should all check any old power packs you have laying around the house aswell...you never know if you already have one or two that will do the job....things such as:
- mobile phones
- Answering machines
- Modems
- Rechargable toys
- computer speakers
- scanners, printers etc
- Cordless drill

You get the idea...surely alot of people would have a power pack floating around that will do the job. Even if you still need it for your childs remote control car I'm sure it can be multi-tasked.
