Original thread here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35327.0

boxes will be purchased from here: http://www.shippingsupply.com/p-1157-19-18-x-9-18-x-2-316-deluxe-literature-mailers.aspx

$37.20 for 50 boxes. Shipping estimate is $28.59. Total for 50 boxes shipped is $65.79. About $1.32 each. For 100 boxes, it will be about $1.18 each. Pretty good deal as long as we don't need to re-ship. That is why I am soliciting only GH members who are in the great Seattle area. Please post here if you are interested and how many you would buy.

And of course, we will have to have another keyboard meet up so we can distribute the boxes :-)

BTW, this IC is for real, unlike the last one I started :-)

What if we're alright with paying for shipping the boxes?

tsangan · « **Reply #5 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 02:27:58 »

I just bought 50 :rofl:

litster · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 02:29:49 »

I am not sure how I would re-pack the flattened boxes properly to re-ship without demanding them.

Kellybear · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 20 November 2012, 09:40:56 »

I'll take one or two. :] Maybe two.

gimpster · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 16:27:55 »

I'm down for at least 10, or 20 if that'll push us over the 100ct.

litster · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 16:35:39 »

Thanks Gimpster! I could use 20 or so, maybe we are ready to get 50 now! Anyone else?

Kellybear · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 19:39:50 »

If you're buying boxes as a reason to buy keyboards, there is a possibility you have a problem...

tsangan · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 20:43:19 »

Yeah, I'm moving to Texas this weekend, so I'll probably just buy 50 myself...

you're not gonna have these by the time you come down to Portland again are you? otherwise my buddy is gonna drive down mid December and he could grab them from you if you could store a handful for me.

There is a Kelly Paper outlet store a mile from my office where I can order such boxes in bulk and then pick them up. Then people could pick them up from my office in Mt. View. (A WASD 104-key keyboard is 17.5 x 6 x 1.5", so 19 x 8 x 3" seems like a good target for a shipping box.)

Also, Office Depot sells qty 25 flat boxes 20" x 10" x 4" for $34.99 delivered.

Anyone interested in either option?

I will go to Portland in mid February. But I can certainly store a few for you. How many do you want? Gimpster wants 10 to 20. I can use 10 to 20. Kelly wants a couple we can definitely use up 50 of these. There isn't much discount to order 100, so maybe we can start now.

Anyone else want to join in?

I could use 10 probably. They are cheap enough to use for shipping even.

When are you coming to LA? Reaper and I are in! I know reaper is in.

litster · « **Reply #24 on:** Sun, 25 November 2012, 23:19:15 »

Who's coming to LA?

sherryton · « **Reply #25 on:** Sun, 25 November 2012, 23:37:32 »

litster · « **Reply #26 on:** Sun, 25 November 2012, 23:44:36 »

Not going to LA any time soon. Even if I do go to LA, the last thing I want to do is to carry these boxes with me going to or leaving LA.

gimpster · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 07 December 2012, 17:21:30 »

We moving forward on this?

litster · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 07 December 2012, 20:20:37 »

OK, I will order now and let you know when they are here.

litster · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 07 December 2012, 20:28:53 »

Ordered. The price went up. The new price is $43.37. But I got a 10% off coupon, so it went back down to $39.03 + $28.59 shipping. Total is $67.62 for 50 boxes shipped.

litster · « **Reply #30 on:** Mon, 17 December 2012, 14:13:44 »

Boxes just arrived this morning. Any suggestion on how to hand off?

boost · « **Reply #31 on:** Mon, 17 December 2012, 14:19:14 »

Willing to take some

Kellybear · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 18 December 2012, 16:40:28 »

I'm still in class for the rest of this week so I can't do anything short of Christmas.. I was thinking we could plan something after the holidays? Everyone is probably busy with their own families.

gimpster · « **Reply #33 on:** Wed, 19 December 2012, 10:58:54 »

Hit me up whenever you want to meet, Litster, I'm on vacation until the new year.
