Many thanks in advance.
Just a quick update. Nothing to report from Heinnie and I've had a nasty attack of work which is going to keep me fairly busy for a few days. Don't be worried if I'm quiet. As soon as I get the factory shutdown dates from Bruce I'll post a closing date for the group buy. Then I'll send PMs to all on the list who have confirmed giving you payment details, and I'll need you all to pay promptly so that I can get the order to Heinnie with a minimum of delay to try to avoid the factory shutdown. Time is getting tight, I've emailed Bruce with the current list and to remind him we're waiting for the dates.
FROM NOW ON PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS LIST.
I've seen people do that in other threads and accidentally make unintended changes. It's very time-consuming to make sure that nothing has changed that should not have been changed. If you want to be added or removed or change your order or whatever, simply post a message in the thread asking for that change and I will make it for you. Then you'll only have me to blame.
Note: All 6" parangs will be supplied including survival kit unless otherwise noted.

Bruce at Heinnie tells me that the factory will be on holiday for the whole of August. "all right for some" I think he said.
My feeling is that the if we don't avoid the holiday period the delay in shipment is likely to be more than a month. Speaking personally the way work is at the moment I'd have no problem with that but others might not be so laid back about it. I feel that we need to get an order to Heinnie no later than the middle of next week if we are to stand a reasonable chance of getting the consignment shipped from the factory in July. I've dealt with, er, some European firms in business (but never with FKMD) and in my experience they can tend to treat work with less urgency than we do in the UK. I think we should be prepared for disappointment, but Bruce tells me that the factory is normally pretty good and they usually manage a turnaround on orders of a week or two. I do not know what stock levels they have in Italy, now that we have a good idea of the quantities I will ask if it's an issue.
Thanks for the kind remarks about the organization, much appreciated. I hope I can keep a grip on it and make everybody happy. I have to say that the forum software could make it a lot easier but I'll start another thread about that when I have time.
Administrivia:
========
My work work attack is ongoing but I'll try to keep the list up to date at least daily.
Later today I'll send PMs to all on the list asking for final confirmation and giving payment details but I have to rush now. I'll be asking for cheques made payable to me and posted to my office address in Derbyshire. The cheques will need to arrive no later than the morning of Wednesday July 14th. I do not want to use Paypal because they will take an arm and a leg in fees.
Please remember FROM NOW ON PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS LIST.

Good point Pepperana.
I'm in the USA at the moment, without my chequebook. I don't get back until about the 26th.
I can do Paypal from over here, but I'm afraid cheques are out. If that means that I'm out of the group-buy, I'm sorry for any trouble caused ged.

Oh, bother. I knew it had all been too easy this far... 
I can accept payment in Euros, so a cheque from Holland shouldn't be a problem if we can agree an exchange rate. But it's clear that setting a deadline of the middle of next week is going to cause quite a few people problems. Well, we can solve problems -- that's why we're on this forum, isn't it?
I don't have strong personal feelings about the timing but I was hoping to wrap this up fairly quickly, partly because it's costing me more time than I can really afford right now owing to an unforseen disaster in a customer's milking parlour. No place for a computer, IMHO. Don't ask.
Anyway, if an early deadline is causing so many problems. I see two options.
1. I delay the deadline substantially. That would mean we will most likely hit the August shutdown and nobody will see their new shiny toys until September. I can live with that.
2. I place the order with Heinnie anyway and take the risk that you lot will eventually pay me. If you don't I can always put an ad in the Classified section. I can live with that too.
Thoughts? It would be good to hear from as many as possible of you on the list.

Well personally, I'm not off to Venezuela till later this year so can wait, but I'll wait to see what other members have to say and go with them and your decision.

Oh, this sucks.
I've just tried to send a PM to all 19 of you on the list.
First it told me to separate all the recipient names with semi-colons.
Then it told me that I'd got one of the names wrong.
Then, when I'd finally got all the names right, it told me I can only send a message to one person at a time.
TONY!! HELP!!!

Sorry for upsetting your plans.
