    Thank you for all of the work you are putting into this to make it possible Jody.

    I edited the thread title to show that the group buy is closed so people aren't getting their hopes up to get in on this. Let me know if you would prefer I change it back.

    Hey, maybe you might end up with a custom title out of this deal... something like Blade Hustler or something...

    Well you aren't too far from Shave Den Soldier!

    I wonder if they will be using the same title structure once we swap over to the new software.

    Voskhod Valkyrie?

    Dealing with these Russians is killing me! :angry032

    I wish I was in Queens, New York so I could deal with them in person. The language issues and 1 person not knowing what the other said is driving me nuts! He told me $200 per case, his daughter said $240 (he's making me deal with her because his English is very limited). But I got that part fixed. Told 'em I was paying $200 per box or nothing at all. She agreed. Now just trying to get them to understand I want it shipped Parcel Post, not First Class so it only costs $21 per box in shipping instead of $35 (already checked UPS and FedEx - both about the same at $45 per box).

    Anyway, y'all hang tough.. slowly but surely, I'm getting there.

    Hey at least next time when you make another order of 20 master cases it should go smoother. :happy102

    Or hand the reigns off to someone else to deal with them... or someone who speaks Russian.

    Thanks for the update looking forward to over a year supply of blades. :D

    Thanks Jody. But you know since you are the one dealing with them right now it would be easier this time around. They understand you and you are learning them. Just think of all the fun you had this time.:happy102:happy108:whacky098:rofl:happy001:happy097

    Now to be honest, thank you very much. I am very glad you did this.

    I have now tried quite a few blades and I can honestly say that nothing has come close to the Voskhods!

    Soooo, I'm going to PIF all of my non-Voskhod blades!:D Which means I need to get in on the next group order;) and I haven't received this one yet!:happy102

    I know this has to be driving everyone nuts because it is me. I'm still working.. Still trying to get their bank routing number. They gave me the account name and account number but I can't send the money without the routing number. I was supposed to have it Friday but never heard back. I'll be on them in the morning and do my best to get this done this week. If nothing else, I'll try and get them to send them to me COD and just pay the additional $8.45 per case fee.

    Jody,

    Take your time dude! Stop stressing over it. I don't think anyone is in that big a hurry. If anyone wants to back out, we have a list of names on here that are waiting to take their place!:D

    We all appreciate what you're having to deal with and understand.

    I'm sure if anyone runs out of Rooskie blades that Jeff will be more than happy to send them a few hundred from his hoard.....................or NOT!:happy102:happy023

    It sounds like you may need 1 or 2 days rest before getting up another order!:eek::D

    Just kidding, we'll all survive the wait.

    No wonders these are so hard to get. The vendors must struggle just as you have. Thanks for sticking with this for us. Right now, it is more important to get this right, than to get it fast. Especially on the first buy.

    Jody, if you have them by Thursday, I could just pick them up from you, I'll be heading to family reunion later this week :D

    Jody, promise that you will send them a carton of Marlboro Cigarettes. That always works with the Russians in the movies:happy097

    I think you may be on to something, but with current prices, that would double the cost of our group buy!:eek:
