The Ranger Plate group buy is a go! This group buy will run for one month at which point everyone will have 10 days to get their payment in if they haven't already done so. Below is all the information and dates.


Group Buy Information

Price: $29.26 per 5-pack
Shipping: Flat $3.00 per order
Colors: Black, OD Green & Coyote Brown
Group Buy End Date: Thursday, July 8, 2004
Payment Received Cutoff: Monday, July 19, 2004
Ship Date: All order shipped by Saturday, July 24, 2004

Orders must be in groups of five and each group must be the same color. So if you want to order black and od green then you must order five of each color. For example, you will not be order five Ranger Plates and get two black and three coyote brown.

The $3.00 shipping fee is for the entire order, regardless of the quantity. Five Ranger Plates or five hundred Ranger Plates, the shipping is still only $3.00.

The group buy ends on 07/08/04 and no orders can be added after this date. So if you want in you need to get your name on the list before 12:00 midnight on the 7th.

Payment must be received by 07/19/04. You can pay at any time during the group buy but your payment must be received by the 19th. Payments will not be deposited or CC's charged until the payment cutoff date.

All orders will be shipped within 5 days of the payment cutoff. We actually plan on having everything out the next day but I wanted to give us a small window in the case of some unforseen event.

What the hell? Are you trying to give all gun owners a bad name and a reason why we shouldn't be allowed to own them? If you want in cool, me to but please keep that kind of talk off the boards.

Well then, I guess I won't be buying any Magpuls with the group buy. I would'nt want to offend you further with my sarcasm.

Oh ya. One more thing EmanP: Be sure to stay off the ammunition threads. They tend to use offensive terms like "fragmentation" and "terminal balistics".

I will no longer be posting on this particular thread.

Hey guys, let's not argue. I've got my own black AR of death in the safe right next to my daughters blue 10/22 of Teletubby and they get along great.

Let's keep this thread on topic to the group buy and any questions that anyone may have. Thanks.

I wanted to use PayPal to get it paid right away. I know that PP costs you $$ if you have a business account set up. I wanted to pay using an instant payment though, straight from my bank account, and you don't need a business account for that and they don't charge you for it so you save a little $$. Do you have a separate 'personal' account set up I can send payment to or only the groupbuy@thetacticalsolution.com one. Thanks and sorry for the misdirection above.

Yes it costs us a little extra money, but that is one of the many costs of doing business. Also, you'll note that we don't charge extra for PayPal like many others do, because we don't believe that it should cost you money to give money to us. So please send all PayPal payments to groupbuy@thetacticalsolution.com

Sending to that address also makes it easy for us to keep track of all payments made specifically for the group buy.

For all of the fence sitters, there's just about one week left, so make sure that you get your order in on time!

Do you have me down as being in? I still want three 5-packs in coyote brown, but I'm going to need another week or two to get payment in. I can get payment in before the July 19th cutoff, I just can't do it right now. Please let me know.

As long as you've notified us and you get your payment in before the cutoff date then you're in. I'm going to compile a list off all the current participants and post it here so that everyone that wants in can make sure that they're on the list and that we've got the correct count for them. I'll try to have that up tomorrow before lunch.

I didn't have a chance to compile a list of everyone that has joined up so far and I'm going to be out for the rest of today, but rest assured that if you want in you'll get in. We're not going to let anyone be left out.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the participant list. Please check over to make sure that your name is listed and that your order size and color are correct. Everyone that has already remitted payment will have their name in BOLD. If you still owe for the group buy please send in your payment ASAP and this list will be updated as necessary.

If you find any mistakes or would like to make a change don't worry. Just email me with the mistake/correction and I'll get it taken care of. People who paid with a credit card will be shown as paid, but their cards have not yet been charged, but we do have all of the info necessary to charge your card next week.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
