Supplies Recieved & Extra Required

by GPCS - Grant Petch

Hi Everyone: Just letting you know that I've only a few moments ago received our SFD Team Pack, and also our Ubuntu CD's which we received about a week and a half ago. On behalf of the Southern Fleurieu team in South Australia, a very BIG thankyou. However we will end up with a fairly large team of about 13 people, we only received 4 shirts, but we are wanting to purchase the extra 9 shirts, especially in larger sizes! Does anyone know of how we can do this and get the extra shirts in time for the event itself? I have heard a roumour that there will be an online store for this purpose, as well as to purchase extra merchandise, will this be actually happening and when?? Time is running down! Any ideas on how we can get the above requirements will be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Grant Petch SFLUG Organiser & SFD Leader E: gpcs(a)ozemail.com.au

Hi, the same problem in Peru, the CDs have been arrived, there is not import duties or taxes because the value is under $100 however DHL want to charge us S/. 105 (S/.2.95=$US1).
