Andy,

For those of us who walk to a St. George Bank and deposit money directly into your account how do you wish to be notified of this fact?

Cheers

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

Wow great service

The bulk of the PostPacks didnt go out this morning as I expected (I got snowed-under at work) but the good news is they are packed and ready to go out Tuesday morning.

Nearly a third of the payments havnt hit the bank account yet, so if you paid on the weekend and your BeanBay status shows "payment pending" then you must be using one of the slower banks.

I assume the slow bank transfers will clear tomorrow and get packed/shipped Wednesday or Thursday.

If you have not paid yet, please give yourself a poke in the ribs and do so before your beans get offered to someone else.

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

My beans just arrived. Wasnt expecting them so soon :-) Might have to take the afternoon off and do some roasting...

Re: November BeanBay Coffee


Beans arrived and have been divided.

The initial shipment leaves first thing tomorrow morning so all the PayPal and the people that use quicker banks beans will ship Monday. I assume the other banks will catch-up and the missing payments will clear on Monday, get packed Monday night and ship on Tuesday.

Either way it looks like we are ahead of schedule (which is nice!) and most people should be roasting this weekend.

Enjoy!

Andy.

Andy- perhaps we can have a staggered start next time - allowing the Tasmanians to go first of course- There is so few of us that we can be sort of like the primer for the server before the influx of everyone else.

Nahhh... I reakon a 2:00 a.m. start for the next one!!!!

That will sort out the real serious buyers (and it will be 11:00pm in Perth!!- no daylight saving ;D)

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

Was there about 40 people online at the same time~ALl buying?
Things slowed down to the point where I thought Id never get back to my class!
I stuck it out though- even through a few pages that loaded as code!
And I got the mallabar I wanted and everything else...

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

Got here a few hours late, but still managed to get what I wanted - some Malabar and some Brazil. Nice work again, Andy

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

Well my first coffee poll has been completed. I got in when all the action was going down. The school server didnt block it so the building where the IT people are is still standing. Although there was some moments of panick when the server was so slow at the same time as the bean bay was logged.
But thanks Andy for making it an easy process and an ever improving one by the sounds of things.

Hi Andy,

Any idea which of the Fazenda Monte Alegre cofees this is?

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

Still the frenzy...
just a LOT more beans so that my inbox doesnt fill-up with "I missed out" messages



BeanBay will remain open over the weekend for all those CSrs that couldnt get to a computer today.

...and beans will get packed & shipped through the coming week so most people will have them for the start of November.

Re: November BeanBay Coffee

I went crazy again.

OK grendel.... define crazy (more than 5 KG??)

JavaB - Congratulations you have just become the father of a bouncing bag of beans.

Thanks for that --- I assume mother and baby will be delivered at the Epic "day care" as per last time...

Got home and still lots of beans left ... not the frenzy there was last BeanBay
