View Full Version : Hey portland area kids, how about a bulk buy on schott!

We're going to be placing an order soon for schott for our shop, and it's always cost effective to buy more and get the glass on pallets, so I figured we'd try a bulk buy. I've been in a lot of bulk buys on LE but they aren't a regular thing here, which is why I'm posting this here and not the classifieds. everyone could save money on all the stuff we use doing group buys, I'd love to see it catch on across the states for all the things we use. I did a bulk buy on opals last year and it worked out well, we all saved. :D

So, Portland area people, meaning those of you willing to drive to my shop to pick up your glass, within two days of it being delivered. i'm doing this with less time than normal bulk buys run so we can all get in on my sale prices, 35% off. ;) If we don't get over 10 cases ordered by the deadline, we'll have to extend the bulk buy (not the sale prices) because this won't work unless more then 10 are ordered. If it doesn't work out in time and you still want your glass shipped directly to you at the sale price, that's fine, but it won't be on a pallet unless it's over 10 cases, and this is how we're all going to save a lot of money on shipping by ordering together...pallets! ;)

Here are the bulk buy specifics


Order deadline midnight PST April 18th. You can PM, email, or call to place your order, and pay by credit card, or simply drop off a check.
Shipping costs will be emailed to you by early Monday the 23rd. Payment is due by midnight on the 23rd.
Glass will be shipped from California on Wed the 25th and arrive by Friday the 27th if all goes as planned.
You need to be able pick up your glass on either Friday or Saturday.
Buy in fee $5 - this covers my costs of doing a bulk buy, like tarps to cover glass, removal of pallets, etc.
Once the glass is ordered there's no backing out. You can sell your cases off to someone else if you want, but i'm not buying them. I'll be ordering, too so I can't. ;)


Here's the sizes the bulk buy will be for, the prices don't include shipping costs.

just to be sure i understand, do we need to order at least ten cases each to get in on the bulk deal-- or are we trying to order more than ten cases as a group?

Thanks for the heads up, Matt. Any chance of a case of 6mm heavy wall? Even medium wall would be OK. I would like to get in on a couple cases. I'll PM you.

I'm sorry PJ, the closest we have right now is 12x2.2 tubing. More new sizes in around 50 days. :D

We're getting close to making this bulk buy work. I hope we can come up with a couple more people, we need at least 4 more cases. Who else needs glass? :D

So........... Misha, Is the glass supposed to come in today? If it dones please email me so I can plan for the trip tomorrow. You have my email in a PM.

If I don't hear from you by Saturday morning I will have to wait another week to come up.

Well it is 4pm on Friday the 27th. I have not heard from Misha so I will assume that all did NOT go as planned, and the glass has not arrived. At the very least you have my payment for the glass so if you have to sit on a box of glass for a week hopefully it won't be too big of a deal.

I know we are all busy but it would be nice to get some information about where things stand.

matt's cell is 503-805-3116 you can call and arrange a time with him, but it would be easier after the glass is here so we can call and arrange with everyone. ;)
