    Group Buy: Berry's Plated Bullets

    NO MORE NEW ORDERS UNLESS YOU CAN GIVE ME CASH BY WEDNESDAY 04 SEP 2013
    WHAT
    Berry Plated Bullets and accessories for reloading

    WHEN
    Order will be placed SAT, 07 SEP 2013.
    Money due NO LATER than MONDAY, 02 SEP 2013.
    Payment methods:
    • Cash
    • Money order
    • Chase QuickPay Transfer
    • Capital One Transfer
    • Check (for prior members who have done group buys with Jedi ONLY)
    unless you make prior arrangements with Jedi


    WHERE
    Order will be avaliable for pick up at the NWI INGO "Unoffical" Club House located at 1101 Cigar Lounge, 1101 W Lincoln Hwy, Merrillville, IN 46410.
    THIS IS WHERE PICK-UP FOR THE BULLETS WILL BE AT.

    PRICES
    Price Sheet from Hev's Bullets and More
    The price on the sheet DOES NOT include shipping.
    Since we are doing a group buy we will be paying a flat fee of $100 for a pallet and can load the pallet with up to 1000 lbs of items (bullets, bullet boxes, etc.)


    HOW SHIPPING PRICE WILL BE DETERMINED
    We need at least 13K in bullet orders in order for the $100 shipping price to make financial sense.
    If we do not get at least 13K in bullet orders I will cancel this group buy.
    See section below on how to order individually (higher shipping cost) entitled "NON NWI MEMBERS".

    Formula
    ($100 / total bullet order) x (bullets ordered by you)

    Example;

    Luke orders 1K of bullets
    Leia orders 7K of bullets
    Anakin orders 10K of bullets

    Total bullets = 18K

    Luke's shipping cost = (100/18,000) x 1000 = 5.55
    Leia's shipping cost = (100/18,000) x 7000 = 38.89
    Anakin's shipping cost = (100/18,000) x 10000 = 55.55

    Shipping is FREE **IF** we get 100K or more in bullet orders.

    TIME-FRAME
    This order is part of a larger VA Berry's Group Buy Order which is estimated to be 750K bullets.
    Orders are taking 3 to 4 months for Berry's to deliver. So we are looking at a late DEC 2013 to JAN 2014 time-frame for delivery.
    I will update this once we get the order ready.

    VOUCH FOR VENDOR
    I and a few other INGO members have prior experience with the vendor (He does not work for Berry's Bullets but is a member of a VA Gun Forum (like INGO) and works on massive group buys). He is a legit vendor/member. You can read more about my experience with him here:
    Prior Order Experience

    HOW TO PLACE ORDER
    Post in this thread your callsign and how many and what caliber & type you want based on the pricing on the excel sheet above.

    For example:

    Luke Skywalker
    .45 230gr RN @ 2K

    NON NWI MEMBERS
    You do not have to be in NWI to order but the bullets will be shipped to NWI so you will have to pick them up from here.

    Likewise if you want to start a group buy for your area (Indy, NE INGO, etc..) let me know and I can provide you with the POC whom you would be placing the order with. The pallets are shipped via Fastenal. If you go to their website and find a store those are the locations the pallets can be delivered to for $100.

    Or even if you don't have enough for a pallet but if your group can make it up to NWI (1 vehicle) I can put all your orders in a pile and you guys can come pick them up as well.

    Otherwise you can do smaller orders (individual) but the shipping price is the going USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail rate.
    Seller can put up to 70lbs in a box at the flat rate. This typically is 2 boxes of bullets in a medium and 4 boxes in a large depending on bullet caliber.
    Medium size box rate is ~$13 and large size box rate is ~$17.

    The strenght of the group buy is the reduced shipping cost vs trying to buy the items individually and paying the USPS shipping rate.

    I have added the tenative shipping cost and give each of you a total cost.

    1) If we get more orders then your shipping cost will go down
    2) Unless someone backs out completely then your shipping cost will NOT go up.

    So you can start sending funds to me for your orders.
    Should the shipping go down I will provide you with your change.
