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
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
