I would like to be in, I need attys and would like to try some drip tips. Do I need to PM the OP?
Thanks,

Hey guys ive not been involved with a co-op before and honestly didn't even know what it was till I joined in.
So, how does the payment work?
and from the time you order, generally/historically, how long does it take to recieve what you order?
That's all i can think of now, thanks for any info.
Blaze, If I can help in any way, let me know, I have eay access to PO, just next door really!!!! shipping envelopes, what ev. ok?!

I'd like to get in on this. I always seem to notice the co-ops AFTER the orders are in.. lol
Payment - You pay the the co-op starter... in this case Blaze. It will be the costs of your products from EM. Then add a dollar for shipping (Em to Blaze). Then add on the shipping costs from Blaze to you.
Time it takes - The quicker everyone gets their lists together and pays Blaze. The quicker he can order the items, receive everything and then ship them to everyone. I would say anywhere from 2-3 weeks.
I believe the whole point of a co-op is to save money on shipping or to get a discount for ordering in bulk. So instead of paying the $15 shipping(not sure of the new price), You only end up paying half. It also gives you a chance to see what others are ordering. Kind of a bonding experience too.
...and to think, I only did one co-op so far.

blaze, just to provide a reference point
the trueman carto co-op which i ran had an ems postage of over $100 BUT trueman extended wholesale prices to us for the cartos so everybody still got a great deal.

I just ran a mock order that consisted of 10 Riva kits, a 25 pack of Kr8 cartos, and 10 5 packs of 510 cartos and the shipping came out to $73.25, so apparently they got really ridiculous on their shipping. I'm not sure what kind of interest there would be in a co-op now since they started with this crap, but it will most likely be the last co-op I run thru EM at this rate if no one shows interest.
If people still want me to run co-ops thru EM, I will (I like doing them), but I find this completely stupid they want to jack up the shipping costs, which will only discourage new/repeat business.

wow, $17.75 for atty shipping.. but 35 boxes would only be $38 s&h.. Maybe an atty or smaller item (no riva, etc) co op would work... still playing with the cart though
edit: attys, cartos and drip tips all seem to be bunched in the less expensive shipping..

I also notice the website doesn't have their new drip tips on it yet, one of the things I really want to order. Prices are great, though, its nice to see the site again!
Here's a mock order straight from the site:
20x 510 LR Atty $3/pc total 300
10x Delrin-Drip-Tip for 510 total 45
20x 510 Cartomiser-soft-tip ($0.8/pc) total 80
Product Cost：425 Fare：101 Total Cost：526
Fare (shipping) is $101!?!?!?!
WTF?! Can we say ridiculous much?

I will say this just so everyone knows....
If EM doesn't come up with a better system and SOON (or at least a cap for larger orders), I WILL NOT be doing anymore co-ops for them....
I personally take this crap as a slap in the face. I WILL NOT place a $1000 order (co-op or not) and have to pay $100-200 more for shipping. WILL....NOT.....HAPPEN.

I semi retract previous comment based on communications with Di. She's going to talk with David (owner) and see what they can work out as far as the shipping goes.
Hopefully they can get this straightened out, or come up with a better system/tweak things a bit

ok keep us updated on the whole shipping thing, If its this outta control, I agree its not worth it.
Yeah, and the website is crazy different....I can't find the bulk items, nor the things I wanted to order previously...argh...perhaps time to find another supplier over there for bulk supplies? But, I am in.
