    Pricing:


    MSRP - $450

    If you are interested in this:


    Sign up by replying to this thread. Don’t chicken out. You are either in or you aren’t. NO maybe, no waiting on the wife, gf or bf to get permission. There is enough time to make up your mind or find a doctor to sell your kidney or pawn your wife’s jewelry. If you are on the fence to see if it’ll go up to max discount before you jump in, you are HOLDING the group buy back. Don’t be that dude.

    So after talking to a Garmin vendor, he can cut us a deal.

    They must be shipped to one address. The vendor is not willing to ship separate orders at the moment, he just doesn't want to deal with it.

    I MIGHT be willing to purchase the bulk order upfront under the following conditions:

    1. I get 15 commited members, plus 5 backups.
    2. You pay shipping - You can save shipping by combining orders.
    3. Paypal funds and you pay the paypal fees.

    The discount would be $80 OFF MSRP for the Garmin Inreach which is $450 MSRP. That is about 20% off, the normal group rate discount.

    The vendor is in California, so the California guys would be saving on the taxes.

    I would pay for the bulk order upfront via credit/paypal. Once I get the order, you pay me and I distribute it to you.

    I will NOT take your money upfront.

    I know a few of the T4R guys are up for it.

    I am still thinking about it, if enough interest is put together, I am willing to do this.


    IF I can find another vendor that would be willing to ship each one individually close to the same pricing, I will go that route.

    we are at 20 right now.

    the vendor wanted at least 15 for the deal so we are good to go. he did tell me he was going to be out next week.

    I will place the order on April 2nd when he returns.

    This will give everyone time for research and discussion.

    @ramonortiz55 dude... please tell me you put that purchase on a points earning CC? That’s like $11,000 worth of free points for you. If you ever need someone to step up and put something like that on a card next time, you go right ahead and feel free to shoot me a pm. Ha!

    Update:

    The vendor had to order additional units to accommodate the buy and will not receive them from Garmin until late this week.

    I will keep everyone updated as soon as I get any new information.

    @the_midwesterner


    Package is scheduled to arrive at Fedex location for pickup on Wednesday.

    Please PM me your address so I can work on shipping quotes.

    If you are combining shipping:

    1. Tell me who is involved (Screen names please)
    2. Address
    3. Paying together or separate? (for my notes)

    Once package is delivered to Fedex location, I will contact you in groups of ten to make receiving of payments easy on my end.

    Remember, payment MUST be done as friends and family or add extra for the fees.
    I also accept Google Wallet, so if you have that - It's another option for payment.

    I went dumpster diving over the weekend and located a few small boxes for lower shipping rates. The small boxes are limited, once those run out.. I WILL use the medium flat rate USPS boxes.

    Please. . PLEASE. . double check your address. I will COPY/PASTE your exact address into the USPS shipping label.

    I will accept payments in groups of ten participants in order on the list:

    You guys are up, please make sure to INCLUDE your screen name in the paypal notes.

    ramonortiz55@gmail.com

    Once I print out the shipping labels, I will send them to you via PM and then proceed with the next group of individuals.

    You should have a USPS shipping quote in your PM. Add that to $370 - send via paypal friends and family.
