Official Luthiers Forum!

OK - I talked with Mark Kett yesterday and here is what we came up with.

First thing, Mark extends his thanks for your support,
and wishes he had more time to play at the OLF

Secondly, He does not have 600+ liners in stock.
But he can fullfill this order starting the first week in June. He's going to send out 3 batches of 200 liners
one week apart.
It looks like trying to get them before ASIA aint gonna happen, There is an outside chance the first batch will be ready, if so well try to get them to Mark Joy in time. If not, well have to nix the idea of picking them up at ASIA and just go with individual shipping.

I'm going to put a cap on orders today, so if you want in let me know.. After today well have a final count, ill pass that to Mark and he'll get crackin! Payment and distribution, Mark Joy has volunteered to distribute all the liners going to the folks at attend ASIA, this is IF we can get them before ASIA, if not, they'll all come to me with the exception of Steve's order of 100 - Mark will drop ship his order because of its size.

Payment - You can all pay me via my paypal account, Ill send invoices to everyone which will include shipping and packaging costs, we have yet to work out the packaging details, but whatever they are, ill try to get the cheapest possible method to keep the total cost down.

Thats it for now.

Whew! Man did this ever catch fire!

Should have read this before I went to my PM. Sounds ike a good plan. By my count, and with Steve getting his drop-shipped, 225 will cover ASIA (I upped my order to 40). If he can stretch that delivery to meto 225, it will be all covered. If he can't, I'll take the rest of mine later, or maybe someone won't be able to make ASIA at the last minute (sure hope that's not the case).

Good job on this, Lance.

Lance it sounds like you are going to have a huge shipping logistics problem that is going to take a great deal of your time (translate as expense). Is there a simpler way or at least a way for you to be re-compensed for this effort?

Thanks for the super-human effort on this Lance (again) & MJ. I only wish I could help and contribute when these labor-intensive deals occur. I aggree with Paul...put some money in your bill to cover your labor costs.
