I consider this my service to the forum. Please let me know if you are interested in getting the 4th book. If we have more than 20, I will organize another one. Exchange rate for euro today is $1.37 which is slightly higher than last year. Here is the link to the book:

I'm sure you'll get more people, but we could always send a PM to those who bought last year's book through your group buy, just in case they don't see the thread.

Heiko think's very highly of himself, but even he wouldn't sell just a catalog of his travels lol

[rubinsteinnyc]

if i wanted books 03 and 04, what would the TOTAL be with shipping?

[YSS]

if i wanted books 03 and 04, what would the TOTAL be with shipping?

All the details are in the links provided from the previous buy.

[rubinsteinnyc]

For each book, the cost is $26.72. Whether you ordered one book or two books, the shipping cost from VA to anywhere in US is $5.15 and to Canada is $12.95. I would collect extra to account for potential paypal charge for making a foreign transaction and variation in exchange rate.

So, the final cost sent to me by paypal (personal gift) yunseobsong@hotmail.com

If you are picking up: $28 per book

One book shipped to US: $32
Two books shipped to US: $59

the shipping got me confused.

let's say one book is 27. I'd take:
two books (2x$27=$54)+shipping to the US for two books ($59 ?!) + $5.15 (VA-> NYC)?

Shipping for two books from Heiko to USA costs more than books themselves?

[rubinsteinnyc]

?

[dirtyplants]

Not sure where you are at, at this point, but please let me know when you want the payment and refer to the method/ process at the point of payment. I am just waiting for you to tell me to pay. Do you have enough people yet?

If 2 books cost 56.00 and you are paying 59.00 shipped to US then an additional $5 or so to have them shipped from Yun to you, how do you figure shipping is more than the books themselves?

[rubinsteinnyc]

It says: two books shipper to US $59. I guess it's the wording. I'm confused whether it costs 59 bux to send 2 books or $59 is books with shipping

[YSS]

$59 is your final cost for two books shipped to anywhere in US.

[rubinsteinnyc]

Any chance of getting 01. 02.03 and 04?

[YSS]

Any chance of getting 01. 02.03 and 04?

I read that 01 was reprinted and it was available. Not sure about 02. If you are in for all four books, I will ask for availability. Please confirm and I will put you down for four books.

[rubinsteinnyc]

118 for 4 books to my door?

Nice find. :) So, all four books are available....



118 for 4 books to my door?

It will be around $118. The final cost will depend on the exchange rate and shipping rates. So, put you down for 4 books?

[rubinsteinnyc]

When would i receive them?

[Len]

When would i receive them?


The last order took about 2 weeks from the time all the money was collected and the order was placed. That's the best answer your going to get, as they are being shipped from Europe to US (Yun) and then from Yun to you. In all fairness to Yun, are you really interested in buying the books?

Thanks, Len.


When would i receive them?

After 20 books have been requested on this thread (we don't have 20 yet but getting close), I will collect money from everyone. This could take a while as well. After I receive money from everyone, I will place order with Heiko. The books could take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks to get here from Italy. After that, I will ship the books out to everyone who ordered them. So, it could be a while. That's my best answer.

[DonMD]

Thanks again, Yun, for doing this. In this world of instant gratification, being patient can be trying for some. But Heiko's books are really great stuff!

[dirtyplants]

Thanks I would never get one other wise, so thank you again.

[YSS]

Please don't thank me yet. We don't have 20 books yet. 7 more to go if rubinsteinnyc is not in.

[winn0923]

Hey Yun if I order the 4 books combo the total will be around 118 total to ship to me? If so put me down for all 4 :)

Again, the cost is estimated. I should be able to provide a better estimate once we are ready to submit the order.

With winn0923 and rubinsteinnyc each buying 4 books, here is the update:

Emailed Heiko last night and got an answer back. All four books are available. The total cost for the order is:

VIA GARIBALDI 5 – I-26900 LODI – ITALY
TOTAL Euro 393.20
2 DiscusBook 01 Euro 39.80
2 DiscusBook 02 Euro 39.80
3 DiscusBook 03 Euro 57.90

Postage (m-bags) Euro 35.00
Discount Euro 39.80
Subtotal Euro 358.20
Euro 398.80

Each book will be Euro 19.94.

The bad news is that the exchange rate as of today including paypal fee is $1.45 per 1 Euro. This makes $28.9 per book. I will collect $29.00 from each person per book. I am assuming everyone except Len is from US. I did not lookup shipping rate for Canada yet, but I will use last year's which was $12.95

So, if you are ordering one book in US, your final cost is $29 + $5.95 for shipping, so round it up to $35. More than previous years due to exchange rate.


Picking up: $29
One book to US: $35
Two books to US: $64
Four books to US: $128

One book to Canada: $42

Please send me the money to my paypal account: yunseobsong@hotmail.com and PLEASE MAKE THE PAYMENT AS PERSONAL GIFT AND PLEASE PUT IN THE NOTE SECTION YOUR simplydiscus ID and your mailing address. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I will keep track of everyone's payment status on another thread. Sooner we get money from everyone, sooner I can place the order.

Don't count on it yet, Don. There is 30% chance of snow in the forecast for next Tuesday. So far, trend suggests that if there is snow in the forecast, it WILL snow. Hope not, though. :)
