Thanks for your hard work, egg. But does this mean you are paying money out of your own pocket to cover the shipping? :shock:


Correct. I underestimated the price difference on some of the items on their site. And also the number of people that ordered filters (i.e. UV and polarized) are less than expected as well.


Wow that freaking sucks. Let me know if you had to pay extra for my item, I will gladly pay the actual price that you paid.

Hello guys/girls,

Good news, all items arrived today safely and sound. After receiving the entire package, I was charged 22 dollars for custom and duty, very little. I would like everyone to chip in 1 dollar for this fee. So on your total please add on 1 extra dollar.

Now, I have everyone's order separated and packaged. I would like to meet everyone of you and go over the items and make sure you got what you wanted (except ones I can't order and mentioned in your PM).

For those that can make it, the date will be this Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 - At 2:00PM @ Fairview Mall - Ground Floor parking lot right outside of Subway Exit. Look for a whilte VW golf, I'll be either sitting in the car or standing around catching fresh air.

I encourage everyone to 'try' and make it this Saturday; everyone will get a chance to say hi to each other. If you absolutely can't make it this Saturday, shoot me a PM and we'll try to arranged another time/place.

My name is Rick and can be reached at 647.868.0403.

Note: Remember at this point you have to pick up the items, you are not allowed to cancel since it's not refundable with Maxsaver with the items ordered.

I'll PM everyone of you with the exact price tomorrow so we can avoid last minute looking for changes.

Man, there will be so many people there, maybe we should turn this into an ad-hoc shooting event. Everyone will have nice clean lenses, after all! :lol:

Oh yeah, we did not look suspicious AT ALL, huddled around a hatchback with the trunk open, exchanging money in small bills, pocketing things in non-descript brown paper bags, and all of us Asian... :lol:

To be honest, this first group buy came out a lot better than I expected. I made 1 error and was not able to obtain 1 item for one person's request.

I would like to setup another one this month, however, I will be on my honeymoon til the end of this October and likely to do the next run at the beginning of November.

For people that are waiting for the second round of group buy, you are free to write down what you like in this thread, if I see enough demand, I will try to organize another one for us TPMGers.

Cheers,
Rick
