Bought some joes, but I neglected to select the USPS, and got hit with the shipping. Sorry about the hassel, but will that 55 go back on my card? Or do I need to contact Tony to straighten that out?

Hey Frank and you other Canadians -

We have a holiday down here tomorrow (Martin Luther King Day) - so we can stay up late.

How are you guys going to stay awake at work tomorrow? 😉

Coffee?

I've just heard from Tony about the shipping charges:
"The out of country (USA) will get tagged with shipping and we are trying to change this now. If it does happen we will go in and return the charges. The USA folks need to select USPS for shipping and none will be charged. I am watching ALL of them closely to see that they do not get charged shipping." TR

Thanks Frank we appreciate all of your hard work.

I bought some Joe's just now too. For $55, I was almost tempted to see if Joe showed up on my doorstep tomorrow afternoon 😀 I went with USPS instead.

I work at night so I don't really have to get up until noon... and I usually try not to stay awake at work anyway (consciousness can be greatly overrated). 😀

Coffee?

RJ,

That's not coffee!

I know my "pints o'Guiness" when I see them!

I had to improvise, George.

Ya know, if you put those URLs in IMG tags... Or not. Why does it *say* that IMG code works at the bottom of my post page if it doesn't actually work? On of life's great mysteries.

funds on the way to ray_g. thanks frank, ray_g and all for getting this together.

another idea just came to me. maybe we could do a sort of "pass the camera"-type project... only we'd "pass joe's new camera before he gets it." we'd mail it to all RFF members, let them pull it out of the box, take one self portrait with it, 😎 re-box and ship on to the next member. one little drawback, i guess, is the fact that by the time joe got it the camera would have 4000+ shots run through it and he'd be 128 years old. ........ but boy, won't he be surprised?!! 😱

 

[shaaktiman]

This is a really nice idea. Put me down for $20.
I didn't read every post. Is there an email account set up on paypal yet that I can donate to?

 

[mr roberts]

It's nice when a plan comes together...especially one intended to do somthing worthwhile.

My money's already been sent to RayG.

 

[ray_g]

I'm heading off to bed now. Enjoy your holiday!


20:30PST
We have $115.00 already and $20.00 to come in a money order. We need to know what Ray_g has on Paypal.

$376.63 so far (net of surcharges). Goodnight.

Reminder: rgeneroso@gmail.com for Joe's gift donation via paypal.

Hmm... I don't know. I'm not able to load the Popflash URL. It says some error or the other. Anyone tried to access it recently?

Its working just fine for me...

Hmm... I don't know. I'm not able to load the Popflash URL. It says some error or the other. Anyone tried to access it recently?

you can also search "JOE RUZUTTOS" under the find a product , choose a category tab on their site folks....

and buy them ....which I 've just done. Though for international adresses you can't disable the shipping fee, but I'm sure Tony @ popflash will watch out for that for us...

Or use Ray's Paypal....though I had trouble with the email adress there...

 

[RML]

Sent $21 over PayPal.

I agree Joe should get a real gift. Is there a way we could see some photos of his receiving the camera? I don't know how much Joe already knows about this thread, but don't you think this could be a shocker for him when he opens the door to find some Canadian RFF members on his doorstep with a nicely gift-wrapped ZI? I'd like to see his face! BTW, beware of his ticker!

Hi guysFrank, great idea, iád like to contribute bz pazpal however at this moment iám on mz waz to romania, not sure when i can safelz do the transfer. Anz time schedule-deadline for the project? Sorry, on this interface i apparently cannot use 'new line' and the keys are also mixed up!!!cheers, pherdinand

 

[hiwatt]

Sent my part to Ray (paypal). 🙂

I'm with those who'd prefer to have a nice new Ikon delivered to Joe, then he could have a gift certificate for the eventual difference...but whatever you guys decide it's fine.

Gus.

 

[kvanderlaag]

Yeah, I just sent my payment to Ray. It's easier that way for me, all things considered, so whatever happens, at least I feel like I did something for Joe!

I mean, if I can't have a brand new Zeiss Ikon, why not help give it to someone who deserves it?
