I'm organizing the group buy this time:)
If you want to order something, PM me and I will send you my e-mail address so I can add you to the order sheet (I don't want my e-mail out there for the world to see).
For us to get the below pricing, 24 brushes of any type need to be ordered. Right now, we have 4. The poodle brush has been postponed indefinitely because of manufacturing problems. Until they get the process worked out, the brush won't be available.
I'm having the brushes shipped to me and will ship those out in the USPS Flat Rate boxes. So shipping for the US will be $4.95, Canada and Mexico will be $11.45 and all other countries $13.45.

Brush Pricing (again with 24 or more brushes ordered):
Pooch Brush-$21.95 (Blue, Red, Yellow)
Pooch WIDE Brush-$31.95
Pooch Emergency-$31.95 (Matt-Zapper)
Pooch WIDE Emergency -$41.95
Pooch PRO-Brush-$28.95 (Green, Purple)
Pooch WIDE PRO-Brush-$35.95
Pooch Finishing Brush-$31.95(Gold, Silver)
Pooch Finishing WIDE Brush-$41.95

For Shampoo, it will be shipped to you from LP since there isn't a flat rate box large enough. This will vary but to give you an idea, the LP rep said that a case of 4 gallons to the east coats is about $16, the west coast is about $32 (measured by weight and distance). Individual gallons can be ordered and cases include 4 gallons.

The gallon price is the same as the single case price according to the rep. For all but the Puppy Tearless and specialty shampoos, it is $49.95. The Puppy Tearless is $51.95.

If we have 24 brushes, I will close the ordering August 23rd and all money must be in to me by then. I will collect all the money and pay LP in one payment.

Ok, I'm definitely keen to try and see what I can do about getting more. How many can fit into one box to NZ? Cos I'm seeing if I can either get a few or get others who might want one as well and we can at least share the shipping!!!

And how would I pay you??

Or just pm me! lol!

Wishpoo, all of those brushes are the slicker style brushes (including the finishing ones) from what I can tell by looking online!

I don't know what the pin brushes would cost nor if they are valid in this deal or not (though people are wanting shampoo, so does THAT count towards the '24' thing??)

How come you will be shipping the brushes out yourself? I think in the last GB the sales rep agreed to ship the orders to everyone individually (we were still charged for shipping), and also took our payment information. Was this not an option this time? i just thought this option might be easier for you while organizing the GB

I'm having everything shipped to me because it is cheaper for y'all that way since LP doesn't do the flat rate shipping boxes. If you want yours shipped directly to you, I can ask the rep if they will do that and find out the cost depending on your order.

This time around, LP asked that they only get 1 payment for the entire order, so I'm collecting the money and then will use my credit card to pay LP. Last time it was too much for LP with all of the separate payments coming.

FLYING - Thanks :) !!!!! I guess than we again have silver "single" and "double" one which would be "finishing" ones - right ? : )))

Pooch Finishing Brush (silver-$31.95)
1 Pooch Finishing WIDE Brush-$41.95

Are those both "silver" ???

Karma's :hug: -get well soon !!!! No problem at all !!!!! It is just that I might be traveling so am trying to get all info as soon as possible ; ). But, I have a feeling that I will be gone before "24" are secured : ((((. Oh well... I hope there will be new group buys organized later in the year again ...

How many orders so far ??? :)

Karma-now that you have enough are you still going to wait till Aug 27 for the order? I would like to order, but the end of Aug would allow me to get some extra $ to make sure it was in my budget.

On the shampoo-do you mean the shipping is the same cost for a single gallon as a case (4)

thanks

I am still leaving it open until August 23 since I know people are vacationing right now and may be away from their computers.

The price for 1 gallon and 1 case are the same, the shipping varies depending on how far it must be shipped and the weight of the item. There isn't a big enough flat rate box for them, so shampoos would be shipped directly to the buyer.

Karma-I hate to trouble you again, but are you saying that I can get a gallon of the regular shampoo for $49.xx plus shiping or I could get a case, 3 gallons, for $49.xx plus shipping. That would be an excellent deal, but you could also be saying a case, 4 gallons, for $49.xx times 4 which would be nearly $100

I just want to make sure I'm getting it correct.

thanks

I think she meant that the individual gallon price is the same as if you bought a case at the per gallon case price. So you get the same discount off the single gallon price as if you bought 4 gallons. Not that you get 4 gallons for the same price as one gallon. It's like a quantity discount :)

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this! I will PM you about my order, which will be for a Silver Finishing brush. Should be fine for a pet minipoo groomed in a modified puppy cut, right?

Alright, I heard back from the LP rep and the price is per gallon. So if you buy a case of 4 gallons, it is $49.95 x 4. Cases are mix and match.

Chagall's Mom-The silver finishing is what is most highly recommended here for poodles. I've read and heard some places that you shouldn't use a slicker on a show coat, but I honestly know very little about show coats. They aren't very practical for a service dog:biggrin:

P4p I did get your check. I thought I emailed you but found it in my drafts/not sent folder (the joy of internet problems).
I can't get my PMs to work on my phone and since we are on vacation and didn't find out the condo didn't have internet until we got here, I won't be around much. I'll be back on Sunday :)
