Right then, now you are all stuffed with Christmas turkey and are awaiting the copious amounts of turkey sarnies you will eat over the next few days (assuming you US'ers do it the same as us Brits :) ) I think its time to get ready for Paris pin ordering!

The basic points of this thread:
I am going to Disneyland Paris for New Year's
I will take payments before I go to pick up pins for people (payment details and costs listed)
I will also POSSIBLY be able to take payments whilst there to pick up things
I will also pick up vinylmations

Payment deadline for pre-pays will be 29th December 8pm UK time (3pm EST, 12midday PST)



First off, here is the most recent poster of pins released in Paris (sadly there isn't a January one yet), if you want to see others then just type "month 2012 disneyland paris pin poster" into google images with your chosen month.

I will pick you up any pin you want from Paris that will actually be there to pick up. Rules are different for OE's and LE's, I will NOT take any pre-orders for LE pins because I have missed the release dates for them and have no idea which ones will be still hanging around!

Price details:
Pins will be charged at cost price (in GBP/£'s) with a small fee (to cover the luggage cost to bring all this stuff back and the time it'll take me to package up all your stuff!!) and postage costs

The fee cost is £3 per pin or £5 per booster set (of 4 pins). Fee prices are capped at £30 per order so if you're fee's add up to more than this then I will only ask £30, not the actual total :)

As I am charging a fee I feel the need to justify this cost, just as I did last time I did a big Paris group buy. The fees will cover: luggage costs for me to bring all this stuff back with me as I will be on weight of luggage, the time it'll take me to get the pins and also the time it'll take to repackage all the parcels and to queue at the slow slow slow English post office!

Postage costs will be the actual cost + 50p (£0.50) to cover the cost of an envelope + bubblewrap if needed. For up to about 3-4 pins postage is £3.80 (incl.envelope) and above that it usually goes up about 20-30p per pin.

I am asking for the cash in GBP NOT euros as I have to convert to euros and I won't know the exchange rate until I change the cash over. The rate is pretty close to 1:1 anyway so u won't lose out, if you do then I will offer u all refunds on it :)

So an example cost breakdown for a Rapunzel OE:
Cost of pin: £7.99
Fee: £3
Postage: £3.80

Total cost: £13.79

I know it looks a lot (maybe?) but the more you get then the better price each pin is as ur postage barely changes (as always with pins!)


Payments:
Payments are to be made to the following (silly, I know!) e-mail address via paypal: sarcasticironicchatterbox@hotmail.co.uk

Payments can be made as a gift to avoid fees or u can add the extra 10% (I think it's 10%?) to cover the fees if you pay as a payment of goods.

Included with your payment should be your DPF username so I can tell who it's from please!!



If you want to see more feedback from me then either ask around the forum about me when in chat or check out the previous thread of all the stuff that got delivered to people last time I did this: http://disneypinforum.com/showthrea...rave-Princesses-etc&highlight=xPrincessEmilyx

I await your replies and PM's!!!

[Original text from before EDIT: Hi all!

Long time no speak! As a stupidly busy postgraduate student and trainee I have sadly been visiting DPF only sparsely =[.

But I'll be here more regulatly from now on!

I am going to be taking a quick trip to DLRP later this month, sadly not all of us are going but it leaves people behind to guard my fave chrimbo decs ^_^

So this is a quick thread to say two things.

One: If you want anything picking up whilst I am there then let me know, I will charge only a little over cost as I need to cover the cost of the weight in my luggage. I will even try and get you cast lanyard pins if you want those and I see them

Two: I am soooo excited!!!!!!!!

Message here or PM me if you need anything =] I will need the money before I go but not for a few weeks yet :-) ]

Cost of pins will be as follows:

Cost to buy the pin in store (so the advertised price in euros on the release poster)
Postage cost to you from me (£3.30 for 1-2/3 pins then up a little from that)
Small cost to cover luggage costs (this will be split between everyone getting something and I expect to be £3 per pin but could well be less :) )

That would make one Rapunzel pin approx. £8 + £3.30 + £3 = £14.30 including postage to you :)
 
How long will you be there? :) I was interested in the periwinkle pin but that one doesn't come out till the 8th? :o

I'm not going for a few weeks yet so she'll have been out for just over 2 weeks by the time I get there, if she is an OE then getting her shouldn't be a problem :)

Yep! She is an open edition. :D I know a lot of people want her. If you can could you get me her and Rapunzel? :) I hope you have a great time!!

Ok :) I'll be sending out messages about payment in about 2 weeks time so you will have until just before Christmas to pay, approx the 20th December :). Thats just to make sure that I can get the money out of paypal and changed to euros in time before I go as that time of year store hours will be mental!

Awesome :) Shouldn't be a problem then :)

Can you PM me please just saying that you want these? Just makes it easier to keep track of everyone and makes sure I don't miss you when I send out the payment messages in about 2 weeks :)

Also, I just looked at your most wanted Tangled pins list and noticed you need the Paris booster set, if you want that I can get it from the UK disneystore website :) I know you've not asked but I thought I'd let you know that its currently available to buy in the UK :)

Is anyone interested in a co op for the Christmas set with thumper in it? I only want thumper from the set so I wa just wondering if anyone else wants the rest and I can get Emily to get me a set.

Feel free to set up a co-op Laura and I'll happily pick you up a set, I can potentially give it to you at the next meet too to save you some postage :)
 
According to a French trader today, DLRP have sold out of the Princesses already and are having to restock! They've only been out like 2 days!!
 
That sounds like fun you 2 - I'd love to be in Paris one day and meet up with fellow DPF members!

On the subjuect of selling out (sorry to hijack Emily) I couldn't believe when the Christmas booster sets were released, they also sold out - Soraya told me when she emailed me! Glad to see that DLRP pins are popular too.

If I hadn't already put an order in I'd def be asking for some pins, so thank you for doing this Emily.
 
Bumpin this thread for those who are interested.

I'll update the info in the first post by Monday and set the payment deadlines etc.

Having discovered Wifi in my hotel I will be able to send update photos of racks from thr day I arriveand will be able to actually buy things whilst there if you paypal me before I leave! I will also be checking for and collecting some cast lanyard pins if anyome wants to trade for those =]
 
Oh that's cool, I'm curious if there will be anything on the racks that wasn't on the posters!

I already PM'd you, but I'll keep checking back in for updates!
