I just have a few guidelines that I ask when being a shopper:
1) COSTS: I just ask for the price of the pin plus tax (6.5%) and the shipping costs, no other up charges, I will mail the pin(s) in LBE's and use delivery confirmation. I use the Post Office's Shipping Asst, so right now 1 oz(1-2 pins) costs $1.35. I may or may not charge for the LBE. I do a lot of trading on PINPIC's and try to recycle all my envelopes, so if it costs me nothing it will not cost you. If the pins reach the price of the average small priority mail box (between $5-6) that is what I will mail in. If there are several pins in a month that you want I can hold off on mailing so that it will cost less., you just have to let me know.
2) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me a reminder when a pin is due out, especially on future releases. I ask that you send it the day before it is to be released, especially on the LE's, The rack pins I don't mind as they can show up any time before, during and after the projected release date.
3) I am not a good stand in line type of person, so I really do not do those special, get a bracelet, wait in line to buy pins, I do work full time so it is difficult for me to get off work to do these type of releases. I have no problem going after work and seeing if there are any left to purchase.
4) Another note on purchasing, recently some CM's have been limiting the purchase of LE's to 2 per person. Requests for LE's will be done on a first come first serve basis. If I can go back and get more I will
5) Also I have learned that 90% of LE's 1500 and over do not sell out the first day. So please do not get upset if I do not go the day of a release. To give an example: Piece of History III pins: edition size 3500. pin pics ID 59589 was released 4/20/08, you can still purchase this pin. I mostly go to the parks on the weekends so of course that is when I do my shopping. Also another example ( and don't ask for my secret on this one, LOL) but there is a place I also shop on property that 2 weeks ago I could still buy 61382, and this one was an LE 500.
6) I will in most cases purchase the pin first and then email you that I have it and what the total cost is. I like to have money orders sent but you can use pay pal. (FLDisneyPINcess@aol.com) If using PayPay there will be an additional charge. Please let me know before paying that this is your preffered method and I will include that in the total cost email. The mailing address to send payments is:
