Re: OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales

Dear PayPal'ers --

My apologies, our anti-phishing filter still catches emails mentioning
Paypal, and some of us are forgetting to check the special folder often
enough.

Time for us to update the ordering instructions on orders.html

Paypal address:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One quick answer is if you place an web order and say pre-arranged as
the method of payment, and mention in the comments that you need to
arrange payment by PayPal, it wont hit those particular filters that I
need to tune better.  Shipping will get the order with all the others,
hold it for a day or so to quote the shipping costs, and hear back from
you that you've done the Paypal thing.

Alternately you can just add 10% for shipping (Canada, USA), or 20% for
elsewhere in the world, and we will refund the excess if there is some, or
maybe, probably after we ship, ask for a token more as necessary.

Even if you don't add shipping at all, but send in the base amount, we'll
probably ship first and ask for the difference later.  (add to comments
that Austin says to do it that way!)

The pre-arranged idea is a pain.  I'm going to have to find a better way
to express it.  Thanks for the feedback and rightful encouragement to get
it right!

Austin

 So, even though locales as far away as New Zealand (probably farther
 than Argentina from Calgary) are already applying their new stickers
 to their servers I'm still waiting here in Kentucky, USA (1660 miles
 from Calgary).  I pre-ordered on 09/11/2007.  :-)

San Diego, CA here...  I just got mine yesterday, at the same time I
received my ship notice.

Be patient Kentucky, you'll get it...  don't worry...

And Argentina, surely your bank has a debit card or credit card you
can get.  Hell, charge up an AMEX gift card and buy it that way.
Those are great.  Like a secure credit card.  I think you can
re-charge them too...

What I'm saying is that there are alternatives...

You can't recharge the AMEX AFAIK, that would be the Green Dot MasterCard and
Visa cards. Still, your suggestion is a good one.

Not worried.  Actually I was just responding to post that declared
instead of complaining about it, you would have your gear already,
like the rest of us.  All pre-orders are not created equal.  Now that
the USPS actually has them in hand, I anticipate my discs tomorrow or
Saturday.

I'm right with you with that.  I just saw that the USPS site light up with my
order too.

India, Oz, NZ, England, all before us.

Puffy, you're such a tease...
