As of 6/4/2020 - order has been placed with Tapco. Expected ship date to me is June 30th.
As of 5/22/2020 - invoices will be going out by Sunday 5/24/2020, I had a couple of late jump ins and I want to get to the highest possible discount for everyone. The extra orders could significantly lower the cost for several items..... I appreciate everyone's patience
Group Buy is officially closed as of 10:50 am Mountain Time, May 18th 2020. I will pm or email out finalized sheets soon. I truly wish there was more participation, but I understand the circumstances.
Welcome to the 2020 Triple Start Tap and Die Group Purchase! Post has been approved by Monty (Group Buy Coordinator).
I've attached the PDF showing the price breaks per level from the research thread. This is for your reference.
I will make the first two posts directly below this one. One will keep a running total of where we are for each item. I will only add items as people commit to buy them.
The second post will list each user who has PM'ed me and emailed me their spreadsheet. I will also update that post at the different stages; ordered, invoiced, payed, shipped.
Please read this post in its entirety.
First and foremost you must:
• Post to this thread and PM me if you would like to participate.
I will update a post immediately below this one with a running total as I receive spreadsheets back. I'm hoping this will encourage folks to jump in especially if we are close to the next level price break.
• This group buy cutoff is May, 13th 2020 Extended to May 17th @ midnight MST in order to complete the above and fulfill the above and below. I want to give folks lots of time, especially with the current state of things.
PayPal payment is due to me by June 8th 2020.
OVERVIEW
This buy is focused on obtaining the maximum quantity discount for our members for triple start tap and dies and Bock and JOWO taps and dies required to build kitless pens. Also included in this offering are some less common single start tap and dies.
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
The goal is to have everything done and ordered by June 22nd, 2020. I will do my best to use USPS Small Flat Rate Box (online USA postage price of $8.30 plus insurance based on the basic cost to replace the taps and dies that you order. If you do not want to pay for the additional insurance, you will have to send me a PM opting out of the insurance). International postal rates depend on country and I will figure and request the difference at mailing to be sent by PayPal.
$50 of insurance is now included with Priority Mail. YOU are responsible for any additional insurance you want.
**New IAP guideline**
Insurance will be included unless you specifically decline!
For reference:
The spreadsheet lists the GB price for 24 taps and 12 dies. These seemed to be the most reasonable numbers. There is a discount level above 24 taps if we reach 48 of any single tap. The price goes down approximately between 1 and 4$ per item. There is no additional discount level for dies beyond 12. The price in the excel sheet is the lowest it will be. If the 24 tap level is not achieved for any single tap, the discount level will drop to 12 items, but the price will increase between 6 and 15$ (approximately).
There are 3 dies which have a single time tooling charge. If you order one of these dies, the tooling charge will be split among all orders of that particular die. The cost is different depending on the die. Once I have the final order count, I will add in the prorated tooling charge on your individual spreadsheet.
The amount of insurance will be calculated by the spreadsheet once you make your selections; however, I will double check the calculation when I send your final invoice, same goes for the PayPal Fee. Please remember that I am responsible for shipping your merchandise, but I cannot be held responsible for its delivery!
Insurance is expensive because it is covering the cost of replacing the item at the single special order price. If your item was lost, in order to replace it, you would have to order each item individually from TapCo, thus you would not receive the group buy discount.
For Example:
If you order 1 plug tap and die for the M14, M13, M12, M11 and one plug tap for the Bock #5 and #6 as well as the JOWO #5 and #6 the total retail cost of replacement would be: $2270.74 so your insurance would be $33.35 making you total shipping cost $41.65.
The total cost of shipping will be determined once the individual spreadsheets are received. Once that is done the total cost for your order will be sent to you via PM. Once the total cost is determined you will have to make your payment to me via PayPal by the payment deadline. Otherwise your order will not be include in the final order to the vendor.
Additional Shipping Cost: I will be the one doing the purchasing and arranging for the shipment of the merchandise to me by the vendor. Each participant will be charged a pro-rate portion of the cost of shipping which will be invoiced separately. This will likely be close to when the order is being shipped to me.
Please expect 2 invoices. The first will be your individual total, individual shipping and individual fees. The second, which will come later, will be the cost of shipping the items from TapCo to me. It will be split evenly among all participants.
WAITING LIST
There is no waiting list for this group buy.
THE SPECIFICS
This group buy is open to any member of IAP.
IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE TIMELINES, WE WILL PLACE THE ORDER WITHOUT YOU. IF YOU SENT MONEY AFTER THE DEADLINE AND THE ORDER WAS PLACED THEN YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED TO YOU. THERE WILL BE NO "WARNING" EMAILS THAT YOU ARE LATE.
REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE
• 1. Post to this thread and PM me to get in
• 2. Must have a valid shipping address
• 3. New: In your reply in this thread you must state that you either want to "Insure for retail value" or "No additional insurance on my shipment." Additionally, on the spreadsheet, you must indicate the same.
Please indicate your NAME and IAP USERNAME on all payments and correspondence.
I will respond to your PM with the email address to send the sheet to. Please note, download the spreadsheet at the bottom of this thread.
In the Excel document, there is a block at the top of the spreadsheets. It requires:
Your IAP screen name
Your "real" name
Your email address
Your mailing address
Whether or not you want insurance (Yes/No)
Please calculate the PayPal fee. Line 98 * 4.0% – zero it out if using "Friends and Family"
If these fields are not filled out accurately, the spreadsheet will be returned to you!
DEADLINES
• Spreadsheet must be returned by May 13th, 2020 (Midnight – MST) Extended to May 17th @ midnight MST

I will be placing the order by Monday, June 22nd, 2020. If you have not made the PayPal payment by the deadline scheduled above, you will be removed from the buy.
Several members and organizers have asked PayPal regarding the use of "Friends and Family" payment option. And it is OK in their eyes and has been each time they were contacted. The "Friends and Family" payment method has no fees for the recipient, thus saving you money. If you choose NOT to send the money using the Friends and Family option, please add the 4% PayPal Fee. If you use F&F option - follow the guide on the spreadsheet and zero out the PayPal fee.
SHIPPING
Availability
Shipping will be done once all of the merchandise for the order is received. According to the vendor the merchandise will be available based on the taps and the dies in 4 – 6 weeks depending on quantity ordered
USA SHIPPING
Will be defaulted to published USPS small Flat Rate Box for online postage price of $8.30. It will include tracking and delivery confirmation.
International Shipping
Will be determined once you submit your spreadsheet, and the cost will be updated on your spreadsheet. Once that is updated you will be notified via PM of the final cost of your order. Once I receive the order from TapCo, I will repackage it and send it to each individual. I will email each individual their tracking info at that time.
SHIPPING INSURANCE
I do require that you pay for insurance, unless you specifically chose to opt out of the additional insurance. I cannot and will not be responsible for what happens to your order after it leaves my control. You will receive confirmation of shipping, but once it has left my hands I am not responsible for it.
If you desire no additional insurance then you must notify me via PM and indicate that you do not want additional insurance on the spreadsheet.
I highly recommend that you do not opt out of the additional insurance because of the cost to replace your order at the retail cost per item.
