What does this mean for the norcal deliveries? Would this mean we now have to get our own trucks and retrieve cabinets?

If you just have the one cab, I'm pretty sure @theoddtech and I will have space for one more cab on the trailer depending how far off you are from Fremont.
 
I'm gonna be moving three cabs for me, @Hatsune Mike, and @Phil Bennett. I'd love to pick up from Fremont if possible. What's the best way to coordinate? Also, how do I tell if our cabs are gonna be in this container?

Also, can I be marked as West Coast on the spreadsheet?

They are. There is 1 USA container, 2 Canada containers.

The USA container is being split after the fact for East/West coast.

I only have 1 container for the US. I will take the balance on the cabs except for the last name on each category. until I can determine which one is missing if any. As far as Im aware you are on the WC side

Cool. I am sure we can make it work for others as well. Also, if enough NorCal members chime in saying they want to do local pick-up, it might save some resources on Cereth's side too. Right now,
  • 35 cabs are coming to the US
  • 10-11 cabs are going to be picked up locally
    • 5 cabs going to SoCal by rewrite and theoddtech
    • 3 cabs being picked up by sprayk for Hatsune Mike and Pil Bennet
    • 2, hopefully 3 cabs by me (c'mon Windy II!!), for me
Leaves 25 cabs for Cereth to haul away up to Reno to distribute to other US members from there. If enough NorCal members chime in that they will be doing local pick-ups from Fremont, maybe Cereth who has already graciously lent his resources for this group buy only needs to bring one truck down from Reno. In any case, I'll volunteer to coordinate for any local pick-ups. I am sure XeD and Cereth, who have lent us more than enough of their resources, have enough on their plate. For now here is what I'll need if you wish to do a local pick-up:
  1. Post a response here stating "I wish to pick-up from Fremont, CA", or
  2. <insert member name> is picking up from Fremont, CA on my behalf
  3. The expectation is that if you are doing local pick-up that you clear your calendar for that day/take the day off
  4. There are always delays with trucking/shipping
If by saying you will be doing local pick-up, it allows Cereth to just bring down one truck instead of two to distribute to everyone else in the US, and you don't show up to pick up, you can see how that can be a problem.
  1. Don't say you will pick-up from Fremont unless you can commit the whole day to the effort.
  2. Anyone wanting to pick up locally has until 10pm PST on Thursday 12/6 Sunday 12/9 to commit to doing so.
    • Gives some time for Cereth to figure out if he needs one truck or two trucks to bring down from Reno
    • After that, all cabs are going on Cereth's truck(s) and you will need to arrange for shipping to you
@sprayk , @Hatsune Mike, @Phil Bennett, I got you guys already. Expect a PM shortly.

Also, I expect there to be issues like with what actually got loaded into the container by Yaton's crew. I have a feeling, someone is going to get short changed. We should work out who pulls the short end of the stick ahead of time. I say this because I will not allow any cherry-picking by anyone doing local pick-up. Just because we here in NorCal got our hands on the cab first, does not give us license to dishonor the solid that XeD extended to us in fronting us for these cabs. Barring any discrepancy with Yaton's crew, whatever you worked out with XeD, you will get whether you pick up locally or not. More details to follow.

@XeD Can you update the sheet to reflect that I'm paid in for my cab? Was just catching up and saw that wasn't updated yet.
 
@XeD since we're only going to have an hour or two to unload and reload it seems important that we have some understanding as to what the contingency plans are for the missing cabinet.

It looks like you and @acblunden2 have worked out what to do if it's a Windy, but what happens if it's an E2, Q25, or NNC? Is it just bottom of the list gets cut, or something else?
 
It should only be a NNC or a Windy (most likely a windy). As of right now I have a spare NNC and the windy I have a plan for. All the other big ticket items I can see in the pics
 
25 candies will fit in one truck, albeit tight. I'd more need to know what order to pack things in if I'm doing any deliveries.

Cool! Looks like the math is coming together then.
  • 35 cabs in the US container, 10-11 cabs being picked up locally in Fremont, CA
    • likely 3 cabs going to me
    • 5 cabs going with rewrite and theoddtech
    • 3 cabs going with sprayk
24-25 cabs need to be loaded into one truck. You only have to bring one truck down from Reno to Fremont and one less person to drive it. More good news.

Let's then extend the period to opt in for local pick-up in Fremont through this weekend to allow more to opt in. Any members in NorCal along the route from the Bay Area to Reno should PM Cereth to work out a delivery.

Got my container today. All seem to be working. One of my E2 got a dent on the side. In a roll it's not noticeable. People with NNC you may want to redo the wiring. It's messy back there. Seem like a 220V variant? 220V sticker on the base. Also the CPO doesn't seem original

That's great. How much forewarning did you have for arrival?

Trying to figure out how much notice we're likely to get down here.

Canada beats the US!! Means US cab should be here soon?

My arrival notice came about 1 week before estimate. But according the a tracking site I use it was 2 days behind. Once custom cleared it I was told the port would hold it for a week before they would charge me. I couldn't wait so I got it done asap.

@Cereth is this how it works in the US? Any idea of how much forewarning we'll have?

Unfortunately my partner in crime has run into some unexpected obligations, and if we have a few days or more's notice we may be able to swing things as originally planned. If not, it may very well just be me showing up for my three and that's it.
