Nuova can be bought from xxx

Sorry, Clinto, that isnt particularly useful right now.  Weve already paid for these cups, and they have landed.  Its only a matter of deciding what to do with the 13 missing sets.

To tell you the truth, I am happy that we got any at all. Dennis has gone to a lot of effort for us and he did not have to do it.

Sure, it is a bit disappointing to think that we are not going to get exactly what we want, I would love 6 tulips as 2 were for a freind, but I am happy to take the 2 brown cappucino cups or even 2 brown demitasse cups if that means that a CS member who would otherwise miss out gets a set of four cups. I can always give that friend something else if it came down to it, being a friend, he would understand.

We need to put a bit of perspective on this and realise that it is not always about the individual, but the community as a whole.

So anyone willing to do an ACF CS import? Ive been looking everywhere for a white 8oz cappucino cup.

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Dennis, I am fine with just getting 4 of the 6 tulips that I ordered. This is a small sacrifice to make to allow a fellow CSer to also enjoy these awesome cups :-)

Hi

If your order did not include the tulips, you need not worry - all of these are accounted for!

Ive considered the feedback Ive had regarding the tulip cups and also reflected on the fact that CS is a community. My intention regarding this venture was never to turn it into a business or make a profit - it was meant to be an adventure; to do something nice for people, and yes, to get myself a set of these elusive tulip cups!

So with all this in mind, Ive decided to repack all the tulips into sets of 4 and not to make any exceptions. If you had placed an order that included the tulips, only one set of 4 will be available to you.

I understand that this will upset some people and am really sorry for that. If anyone would like to cancel all or part of their order please let me know your bank details and I will refund immediately.

Alternatively, if you would like to proceed with one set of 4, plus any other styles you may have ordered, you will be entitled to 1/3 refund of the cost of the tulips - ie. if you paid $44 per set that equates to $14.50; if you paid $50 per set then that equates to $16.50. Everyone who originally ordered 2 sets of tulips will be entitled to a minimum refund of the full cost of one set, plus 1/3 of the other.

I will also send this message privately to all involved and will await your individual responses - I still only have about half of the delivery addresses needed!

i dont see the problem with the post. Most people had thought they were getting 6 cups; and due to circumstances beyond everyones control will only be getting 4.

My plan for the cups was to replace all the cups i have on top of my machine with one style (tulips and espresso). 4 tulips wont be enough for me so I was planning on purchasing another 4 from espresso parts. That was all the post was intended as.

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Clinto, Im sure everyone had plans for their cups too. Under the circumstances Im trying to look for a collective, rather than individual solution.

I look forward to receiving your account details so that I can refund you for your order.

All the best!

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale


I have to stick up for Clinto, here.
It looks like everyone is misunderstanding Clintos intention by suggesting that tulips can be bought elsewhere. If people get 4 cups instead of 6, then they can buy the extra 2 from the other place. Whats wrong with that? I think Clinto was just trying to be helpful. And I didnt see any suggestion that he wanted a refund, so Dennis, your reply seems a bit harsh.
I hope everyone can accept it as a misunderstanding and spread forgiveness and love.
Peace,
MB

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

MB, Ive sent you a pm that I hope explains why my comments may have seemed harsh.

To all: I am still waiting for a number of addresses, but if youve already sent yours to me, your order will be packed this weekend and sent out some time next week. Where applicable, Ill include refunds or requests for payment of postage.

If you havent sent your address, please do so and dont forget to add your full name!

The good news this week is that the vietnamese coffee pots arrived!

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Hi Dennis

How about those of us who had arranged to pick their orders up, do we need to do anything yet?



Cheers
David

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Hi David - for anyone who would like a pick up and has already advised me of this, I will send you a pm with my address/contact no.

If you havent and would still like to pick up - just let me know and Ill do the same.

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Thanks Dennis & thanks also for all the trouble youve gone to in importing the cups, its very much appreciated.


Cheers

Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

Did a lot of unpacking and repacking today and glad to say that I now have lots of parcels ready to post on Monday or Tuesday.

For those of you who are due a refund, youll find it in the coffee pot

If anyone has arranged a pick up directly from me - your cups are ready too! Im still waiting for some names and addresses!


LETS PLAY A GAME:
Where refunds were due, I deducted some money for postage in some cases - in other cases I didnt. This was done at random and because I was getting tired. Rest assured no one will get less back than they are due...its just that some people will get a few dollars more. If you are one of these lucky people, then you might think about making a donation to fair crack. If youre not one of these lucky people and found some money in your pot, you might still think about making a donation to fair crack! No pressure...will leave it up to you.

ps. Id still like to know what the most popular thread is as far as # of views!
