[size=+2]This group buy is now closed - sorry if you missed out and thanks to all who took part. Thanks also to Joe from 5*Cord for all his efforts in supporting this.[/size]
I've contacted 5*cord (who replied to me at 11pm on Easter Sunday
) and they are happy to run the group buy. I was going to do the leg work myself, but they're happy to do it for me so I think I got off lightly!
Other people on BB have dealt with this supplier before and comments have been very favourable.
*************
*************
First - the rules:
1) A minimum of 10 people are needed for the group buy to run
2) The paracord must be purchased in 50ft or 100ft batches but can be divided into increments of 10ft lengths. (i.e. you must buy either 50ft or 100ft but it can be 10ft each of five different colours, or a 20ft length of one colour and a 30ft length of another, a 50ft length of just one colour or whatever.) For those of you who think metrically 50ft is a little over 15m and 10ft is a little over 3m.
3) Once we are ready to start buying 5*cord will issue us with a 'promo' code to use for the group buy. This code will only be valid for 5 days
4) Once the code is issued anyone who wants can place an order directly on 5*cord's website:
To place the order via the website.
-Select the option of cheque/postal order
-there is a notes section where you can include the following note:
I am a member of the Bushcraftuk forum. I would like to place this order and receive the group buy pricing. I would like to pay via (choose one) paypal/visa/mastercard/postal order. Please reply with the total amount due. (The total due will be adjusted and will not reflect the price on the site at time of checkout.)
If payment is by paypal then 5*cord will simply send you an invoice via paypal for the amount due.
Once the code expires, the group buy is over. All orders will be processed and shipped out on the same day.
5*cord also mentioned in the email that if anyone also wants to order some lanyard parts or any other accessories that these can be included with no additional shipping costs.

To make sure we have the ten minimum required to run this buy can I please ask for ten definite buyers to reply on this thread. Once we have the minimum ten then there is no need to post your interest as we don't need "the list"...
Once we have that I'll contact 5*cord for the code and post it here.
*phew* that was a lot of typing
Any questions, please post them in the thread and I'll get back to you.
Thanks
Countdown to group buy being 'a goer'
