    Item description: Osmocote Pro 12-14
    Location: KZN Midlands (Postnet in Pietermaritzburg)
    Shipping: R99 for the first 5 kg, it's affordable, reliable and we'll deliver within 2 to 3 working days
    Price: R52 per kg

    I have gotten a quote for Osmocote Pro 12-14 at a very good price. It shouldn't be more than R1300 for a 25kg bag, which I can split up for those who are looking for Osmocote Pro 12-14 in smaller quantities. I need at least 15 to 20 people to cover the cost so, please, no chancers - don't order then change your mind and pull out of the deal.

    Only those who are interested and want to reserve their place on the list, need to pay in advance so that I can get the bag ordered and delivered to me. Then I will weight out to each person's order and send it off through Postnet to you

    I'd take a kg or 2 and split shipping with others from Cape Town.

    I am from Newcastle. I would take 3 or 4 KGs at that price.

    I've had a lot of positive responses on TASA to this as well. If I calculated this correctly, there is 3kg left now.

    Wow what an awesome response so far. Wow we have filled the quota needed and it's all booked.

    I have send in a request for an official quote - I want to make sure the price is exactly what I calculated before we start anything official.

    I got a very quick response from the rep. He says that the price will increase from June so we need to get this sorted before the end of May.

    Here is the official quote - another member and I will be carrying the bulk of the courier costs as he so kindly offered to pay some of it.

    osmocote-official-quote.jpg

    So the pricing per kilogram stays the same - exactly what I had previously calculated. Nothing changes.

    I see that there are 4 people in Gauteng that has placed their order and the total is 12kg. To save on shipping costs, I was thinking of sending this batch off to @Pierré Schoonraad and he can distribute amongst the Gauteng members. I will try and get a quote from our local courier as soon as possible (my parents have an account with them so will ask my mother to phone and get a quote) - share the costs between the 4 of you. @hencoloots, @McAwesome and another member from TASA whose name isn't here (Drab808).

    As for the rest, only 2 in WC (@2time and @Hendre) and 3 in KZN (me, my mother and @Etienne Fourie).

    If you all are happy with this arrangement, please PM me for banking details. For those who are not in Gauteng, the Postnet rate still applies as most of the packages are under 5kg.

    Yes, currently sorting stuff out with Pierre and Clappies for the Gauteng/Kimberly shipment as it's more than 5kg - looking at courier price options and think we should have this sorted out soon.

    As for the others, they need to respond to the official quote and get my banking details - pay in advance so that I can get the 25kg bag. They also need to give me their nearest Postnet store (I'm sending off from Victoria Square PMB as all the LFS's are around the area). Say for example: Hendre chose Postnet Tyger Valley. No need for an actual home address as it's counter to counter, meaning you'll have to pick it up and you will be provided with a tracking number for the parcel.

    I am in PMB next week Thursday (I think as I have to go to work there for half day) so the soonest this gets done, the better... And we avoid the price hike that starts from June as well.

    Guys, I've just noticed something this morning - I've noticed that some of you have tried to message me via Taptalk - the funny thing is I don't receive them from my PC when I'm on the forums. There was a message that was send 18 hours ago and I've had to respond by sending a private message from the forums. I am not sure if it's Tapatalk using their chat function or whatever it is, I"m just not getting some of them through the forum from my PC.

    So please mention in the comments that if you message me, ask me if I got your messages and if there is nothing, I'll send you a PM.

    So far I've gotten @hencoloots , @Clappies (paid already), @Pierré Schoonraad , @Etienne Fourie , @Dane - still waiting for the others.

    Ok I need to do an update on this.

    I am still waiting for payments to reflect - some of you are with ABSA, Nedbank or Capitec - it takes up to 2 days before the money appears in my account. I'll keep you all updated as I progress...

    At this rate with the payments that need to reflect, it looks like I may only send all the orders off next week as I"m not sure how long they will take to deliver the 25kg bag of osmocote, if I order by Thursday, most likely next week or Wednesday for Friday, hopefully if all payments reflect by tomorrow.
