Hi guys 
We have a little scheme cooking to allow fans not residing in Australia to have a physical copy of "Night of my Life"...and still have it contribute to the Aria figures.
I know that the single can be ordered online, but note that if its being shipped to an overseas address, the sale doesnt count.
Janny and I have decided that we will donate "properly aria purchased" copies of the single to overseas fans, and send them via the post.
In all honesty, I dont know how big or small this will be..it depends on the interest. What would like to do is send one parcel to one country, then a chosen person within that country distributes....it would save on the cost.
So...if you are interested in donating a properly purchased single, or if you are overseas and would like to be on the recieving end...please let us know in this thread. We will add you to a list in this post, and update it regularly. You can also check your status in this post.
Dont post addresses or personal details till prompted to do so...and only through PM - dont post details publicly! think it should be appropriate if I keep track of what's going out
The first shipment has been recieved...in Brazil! Shinyspirit PMed me to let me know it arrived safely!
Also...the shipments have been made to Ireland and North America, and finally to Singapore!
Regarding the North American shipment...all stock was mailed to Megan in Canada...she will forward 1 to Idoladdict and the 3 US bound CDs to Congrazia...Congrazia will then ship the remaining 2 within the states.
Make sense guys? You will need to PM each other the appropriate sending addresses!
So, heres the current shipping list, UPDATED:
Recipients:
Shinyspirit - Brazil RECEIVED!
Soulmateno9 - US SHIPPED (will be via Congrazia)
Congrazia - US SHIPPED (will be via Megan)
dm91367 - US SHIPPED (will be via Congrazia)
Megan - Canada SHIPPED
Idoladdict - Canada SHIPPED (will be via Megan)
Irishangel - Ireland SHIPPED
Revanraider - Singapore SHIPPED
So, now that that is done....Janny and I would like to take a break from this...we've done a fair bit of buying and shipping, plus the fact that both of us will be gone from the board for a while these coming couple of months...
We still have a partial order pending for revanraider in Singapore should anyone wish to fill it, or do as much as they can to...
The method that Janny and used of one person buying then sending to the overseas shipper worked really well.
If any of the following volunteers are still interested, I would consider finding a partner to do it with:
The donators/helpers:
Winterlong (temporarily retired!)
Jim
Belinda
Neski - buying
Cin59
Janny (temporarily retired!)
Memi
Something else for shippers to consider...as long as you keep the bubble wrap to a minimum (one layer both sides) and use padded bags, it is most cost effective to ship in quantities of 3, 7 (7 is borderline for weight...6 is safe!) or 11 ie it costs as much to send 6/7 as it does to send 4 due to weight thresholds.
And example of costs:
Shipping 3 CDs
by Air:
To Asia: 7.25
To North America: 8.25
To Rest of the World: 9.75
(add $1.20 for post pack and extra for bubble wrap if required)
by Sea (long delay)
$6
(add $1.20 for post pack and extra for bubble wrap if required)
Shipping 6-7 CDs
note that weight is on threshold..7 may be overweight!
by Air:
To Asia: 11.50
To North America: 13.50
To Rest of the World: 16.50
(add $1.40 for post pack and extra for bubble wrap if required)
by Sea (long delay)
$9.50
(add $1.40 for post pack and extra for bubble wrap if required)
Shipping single CDs
Single cds in a mailer box count as a letter!
To Asia: $2.50
To Rest of the World: $3.70
(add $1.50 for mailer box)
I hope we have enough interested parties to keep this little scheme going!
Also...can I ask a little favour?
Shinyspirit, we (and D) might get a kick out of seeing the NOML in a typically 'brazilian' location (mind OUT of the gutter, perves! :
..
How about those who receive them sending us a pick of "D" in an overseas location? I'd love to see that!
