Hey guys, I have been busy dealing with Paypal and didn't have the time to check this thread.
To those who have helped, no matter by sending payment reminders or offering to buy more items, I am really grateful.
Appreciate your help and thankful to your generous spirit.
It's hard work organising a groupbuy but I really enjoy doing it, because of you guys.
About the payment deadline: I have not set one and have not been willing to set one because I believe the folks on geekhack should be self-disciplined enough. But since it's already August and I think I can only give one to 1.5 more weeks (I estimate by then I will have sorted things out with Paypal). By then those who haven't sent me a notice explaining why they have to defer their payment will have their order cancelled.
And FYI, seems the PM reminders worked, a few more people have paid me these 2 days.
About the MOQ:
So far, 221 Dolch ANSI have been paid, and 122 granite ANSI, 95 Olivette ANSI, 159 Dolch Add-on, 97 Granite Add-on, 84 Olivette Add-on.
This figure can be obtained from the online spreadsheet I uploaded.
We're actually having some trouble hitting the MOQ for olivette add-on. I know I've said "taihao is going to accept all of our orders" but that's based on the assumption that everyone was going to pay.
About the issue with Paypal:
Screw Paypal, which, as some of you may already know, holds a suspicious and unsupportive attitude towards groupbuys. I may have to ask some of you to pay me again (I will email/PM these people the details).
And to those people who haven't paid but are going to and happen to see this: can you pay to the email stated on my profile (
http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33333) instead? Not the one stated in the invoice, but the one on my profile. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for everyone's support again!
