JohnFromLisbon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 @MN Fisher yeah, I can't risk a backordered item. For every package I get from them I have to pay FedEx 50.00 euros (about $ 60.00) just for handling the customs stuff (apart from the shipping charge itself, which is about $ 40.00), and they I gotta pay 23% sales tax on the order total. In fact I don't think they have the whole backorder thing for international orders for that exact reason. Believe it or not, if the order is big enough and for certain items, it's still cheaper than buying those particular items from a local shop. And some things just doesn't have a distributor in Europe yet, like the Reaction Innovations stuff. @Boomstick I've had to go and check my wishlist to replace the stuff that sold out in the meantime, and I'll do it on Friday morning again. You know there's a rush when they're out of green pumpkin Smallie Beavers ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Boomstick Posted November 24, 2020 Author Super User Share Posted November 24, 2020 @JohnFromLisbon Wow, so you better at least make sure you stock up to get your money's worth. 52 minutes ago, MN Fisher said: Wife made a suggestion - maybe a weekend afternoon occasionally - that way John doesn't have to stay up until OMG-AM to participate...maybe even con Tim Kelly to join in too. I'd be game for a weekend, maybe alternate days a little so everybody gets a chance to make at least a few. How would 12/5 work for everybody? 53 minutes ago, MN Fisher said: Otherwise, I'm open to anytime - being retired DOES have it's benefits. Right now - 3-days, 14-hours to X-Time...only one item on my list would be back-ordered. I don't think I have anything on my list that is backordered, but there are a number of items I gave up on trying to purchase on Black Friday due to being backordered and unavailable for purchase at this time, but that's far from the majority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGF Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Weekends afternoons are harder for me to commit to but changing things up to give more people a chance seems like a good idea. Send me the invitation and I'll join in if I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a few others said later would work for them too. And let's discuss winter fishing the timing is about right, specifically pre-ice because otherwise you'll get something very different than you will up here, which largely involves cutting a hole in the ice and throwing live bait or a spoon down.
