Jess trying to be a bro!

Did we address shrinkage?

In the OP he mentions that they are mostly cotton and will shrink, however they are also over sized so whatever your 'normal' size is should still be okay.

More peeps getting wind of this, Cool.

Nuclearsandwich:
I can order 2 in a couple hours so you can be #42. I just need to figure out what suez I need. I wear a 42 suit, large tshirts, sometimes an xtra large depending on the clothes.

Exactly this.  The sizing on these is baggy.  These are not the modern skinny style like the American Apparel hoodies.  In addition, these things are very thick, you people on the east coast and in places that it actually drops below 60F will really like them (although, we Californians start bundling up when it drops under 70F, so it should still be good for us too).  I was told by both the manufacturer and the screen printer to go off your measurements (true to size).

This is a group buy for a Black zippered hoodie. 

Seems that a lot of people wanna get shot dead by overenthusiastic police and turkey bacons.

HoffmanMyster is proxying 2 Hoodies for me. If a 3rd Hoodie doesn't increase the shipping costs exponentially we can work something out

These are oversized for all sizes. Check out the pictures in my link. They don't shrink down much so you'll have a oversized and nice thick hoodie. It's probably my favorite hoodie that I own.

[thadood]

And submitted +1!

Awesome, thank you!


Also, after looking at the pictures, I am wondering if I should change the size I ordered, these look to be way oversized. I ordered a XXL, as I am about 6,2", 250 pounds, broad shoulders. Looks like an XL might suffice. What do you think, Badass?

[Badwrench]

Ok, guys, I have 5 orders for Canada so far.  Any of you willing to proxy to cut down on shipping cost?  I would just split the shipping cost based on # of hoodies within the package and you guys can set up shipping once in Canada.  Let me know.

No problem, that is perfect.   

Stoked to see this finally happening.  I will finish the buy on Friday at 12pm Pacific Standard time and start sending out the invoices over that weekend.

I don't know what size you normally wear. I would say if you like your hoodies a little oversized, whatever your normal size world be fine. If you like a tighter hoodie, perhaps grab a size down. If you really don't know after that? Find a tape measure.

I'm super excited! Any idea what the time frame looks like once the ball starts rolling?

Honestly I think just to ship to a proxy, then ship again would cost more than $18.

[quake4mhg]

Yeah, I think so too, Canada post is expensive even locally

[nubbinator]

Just have a Canada get together.  You can all swap sweatshirts, drink some Molson's and maple syrup while eating poutine, watching puck stick, and throwing your empties at the moose.

Any invoices went out yet?

[Badwrench]

Any invoices went out yet?

Not yet.  I will be doing them this weekend.  As said before, i am only invoicing for the actual hoodies now and will invoice for shipping once I get individual rates.

[taylordcraig]

Yay excited we made MOQ.
Pretty sure I ordered 1M 1L...

I will be closing this sale tonight.  We are at 46 orders and I have updated the pricing in the OP to reflect the final pricing I just received from the vendor.

[Skuloth]

So much excitement. Any idea what the timeframe will look like?

[Badwrench]

Invoicing will start tonight/this weekend. 
I will collect for hopefully only a week or so (fingers crossed for quick payments). 
Hopefully production will start on the week of the 10th and will last roughly 7 working days.
Once production is done and I have all the hoodies on hand, I will do all the packing so that I can get individual shipping costs for each package. 
Once everything is packed and priced, I will send out a second round of invoices for shipping costs and send each package out as it is paid for. 

As soon as all packages are shipped, I will pull together any remaining funds and add them to the 3% that some people are adding to their GB and donate it all to GH.

(Note:  This is a best scenario, but I will keep everyone updated as to where things are and the progress of everything)

[nubbinator]

Add an extra $5 or so onto my invoice.  You deserve a beer for the legwork and getting this thing done.

[asdfjkl36]

bit let, but joined 

[Input Nirvana]

I'll pay the day I get the invoices, not like the big delays estimating the sizing.

I will be closing this sale tonight.  We are at 46 orders and I have updated the pricing in the OP to reflect the final pricing I just received from the vendor.

Ok, finishing up the orders at 47.  I just put everything in my payment spreadsheet and came up with a deficit.  I royally screwed up, my estimate failed to take into account sales tax for California. 

Final pricing including sales tax and the paypal fees are as follows.

XS-XL:  Base price of $31 x 8%= $33.48.  plus paypal of 3% = $34.48
2XL:  Base price of $34 x 8% = $36.72.  plus paypal of 3% = $37.82
3XL-5XL:  Base price of $39 x 8% = $42.12.  plus paypal of 3% = $43.38

I am a not a business, I need the orders to be payed as goods with the additional paypal fee since I didn't add any profit in this.  These are the base prices.  I will be paying the same amount for mine. 

I apologize for the error, and if this causes any issues and you need to cancel your order, please let me know so I can remove you from the list. 

[Input Nirvana]

Yea, if you're not used to doing business, running a group buy can be a PITA.

[asdfjkl36]

Just a few bucks difference. Not a problem.

I have really enjoyed doing all the leg work and am going to do my best to keep this as smooth as possible.

Invoices have started going out

[nubbinator]

Remember to add a beer onto my invoice.

[katushkin]

Paid! Sorry for not paying attention and adding to workload

[Elrick]

Invoices have started going out

I was surprised in getting an Invoice with such a low amount attached.......... needless to say, have just paid it in full  .

[Skuloth]

I paid mine as well.

Thanks for adding the beer on the invoice:

Thanks.  I am covering shipping materials so there is really only tax and paypal fees.  Single orders will be going in waterproof garment bags, while larger orders will be wrapped in a bag and then boxed (to keep them waterproof).

Remember that there will be a second invoice after production for actual shipping rates.


Edit:  All invoices are out.  If you did not receive one, please let me know asap, thanks. 

[nubbinator]

Paid. Hope you get a halfway decent beer to enjoy while sorting and packaging.
