I am absolutely ok with going through Russell if he had a deal with the seller
to get us a break. I didn't have the funds at the time he presented these, also
we have had a number of new members since that time.
Kevin, the last shipment quote I got was $42 for a 3 box club set to my home,
or $38 to a business address, such as Tiny Tim's. I would imagine the shipment
cost per box would come down with ordering more boxes.
I can manage the club order and then work with Russell if needed. Anybody who
is interested let me know and we'll work to get a final price.

Good morning, all! I must say, the haulers are great! If I may propose the
following: let's see if there's enough interest for a bulk order; then ask
Russell if he'll approach the vendor again with the numbers for a price
(including shipping). Besides, let's say for the sake of argument that every
member ordered three haulers (the club set), imagine the space that would
take up in someone's home and the logistics of distribution. Tiny Tim's is
in a better position to handle bulk orders and distribution.
Just my two candy canes!

I presented these "haulers" at the club meeting at Bill MIchie's house. I
had worked a deal with the owner to do a bulk order, but he wanted to know
how many units we wanted. I got little interest from the group, so I sold
the only set I had to Bill and the wooden inserts to Ken I believe. Now,
there is interest........
I will back off and let you do your deal. This was a missed opportunity. I
contact this mfg in behalf of the area train groups.

All,
I am interested in obtaining a set of the O Scale Hauler boxes. The shipping
cost is quite high due to the bulk of the items, so my thought is that if I
put together a bulk order for the club we could potentially save on costs. I
would split the shipping cost evenly between everybody based on the number of
boxes they order. I intend to purchase a “club set” so would be responsible
for shipment of 3 boxes. If you are not familiar with this product, the
website is http://oscalehauler.com/. A couple of members of the club already ;
have some of these, I believe Bill Michie and maybe one other person if you
want to take a closer look. If you want to go in on this bulk order, please
let me know. Thanks.
