Title: Finger bags split?
Post by: headfirst on 03/09/2019 03:42 PM
I'm all out of 5 finger bags.  I see from other threads that bags of bags has the best prices, which is true, but the only order size is 1,000 bags.  I was thinking I'd be good with 50-100 so thought I'd see if anyone else wants more bags and wants to split this order with me.  Let me know.  Thanks.

What would be the final cost for 50/100 bags after shipping etc?

It's $70 plus about $18 shipping to me for the 1,000 bags.  I looked at another site that sold in 100 bag packs and they wanted $20 shipped for 100 bags.  So for it to make sense for everyone I would be willing to absorb say $8 of that $18 shipping which makes it $8/100 bags to everyone plus their shipping, so everyone I imagine would be around $16-$18 per 100 bags myself included.

I'll let this thread hang out for a little bit.  If it doesn't gain any traction I'll just go with the $20 option, just thought I may not be alone in wanting more finger bags...

I'd price it so your bags are free.  I'd be happy to pay a few bucks extra, doing a split with 10-15 people is a ton of work.

Nah it's ok Dan, I'd feel like I'm using the other geeks if I did that, let's stick with $8 plus shipping cost per 100 bags.

I would stick with bags of bags - cigarbags state to accommodate up to a 60rg, but I feel as if 54rg is a VERY tight fit.

Is this still going on?

I've got about an extra 800 from my last purchase if that would be easier? Same price. Don't want to step on any toes though if the order has already been placed. Just let me know.

Ted, that's a great call, I haven't made the order, it probably helps you out, and I think we'd struggle to get enough participation for it to work out.  I'll take 100 off your hands, let me know a total.

     Hello Ted, I'm Rick...I did the introduction when I first joined up here...anyway, I'm more of a lurker here....a cigargeeks knowledge vampire, I guess. I live in New Hampshire if that matters.
     I would like to get in on this split, if possible. I would be glad to send you a check that you could cash before shipping the bags. Please pm me for my address if we can make this trade.
                                                             Thanks in Advance,

                                                                           Rick

I have no idea how much shipping would be, but I paid about $85 for 1,000 shipped. So will just say a cap of $15 for $100, but maybe less after I ship. Once I ship, I'll PM a price and can anyone can  just paypal me.

Anyone who wants, just PM me a request and shipping address.

FYI, I will most likely not be shipping until Friday or Saturday. I just left work early and we are apparently experiencing a "bomb cyclone" here.

Ted would love to get in on 100 of these if offer is still out there. PM with details if you need to.

Oh forgot. I am back! $15 shipped priority 3 day (it's only $0.11 more than regular first class). I have 6 more 100 ct. for anyone who wants.

Jeff, correct addy in your profile? I can ship Monday if that's OK? My son is in town this weekend and I think it's unlikely I'll be able to make the post office before it closes tomorrow.
