Probably the Christmas post, 2 got delayed as the post office was closed from 1pm on the 24th and I just missed the door closing

To everyone else who hasn't gotten their book yet (and there are a lot of you, 3 boxes..) please get in touch. I want to get these out of my hallway please - I can post or you can collect from Leopardstown. Again, if anyone would like to help.. it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

5uspect

My folks received mine the other day, thanks again!

okmqaz42

Mine arrived on Thursday, I cannot believe how good it looks, thanks again for all your effort.

Bumpity bump - come on folks - do you not want your books?!

Hi Tracy,
I hope all the books are now "claimed". Out of curiosity has everyone paid up for the actual books they ordered ? I hope so.
Thank you for all the time and effort you and the team have put into this.
The launch night went very well.

I'm no longer one of those - but thanks so much to Cork_girl for sending me mine. Again, very sorry I couldnt' make the launch, and congratulations to all involved, some stunning shots in there.

Tiriel

Ok. It's mid February and I have over 2 boxes of books left. That's right.. two boxes! Do you not want yours?

Get in touch with me, I'll organise postage. It's €6.60 and you'll have your book. My apartment does not need boxes of books and you have paid for them.. such a pity as they are fantastic!

I'm open to suggestions of deadlines and alternative donation ideas for books where people have not even replied to emails/posts 2 months after the launch.

Please get in touch..

2 BOXES full!! So quite a few unfortunately..

OldGoat

Post names. Someone might be able to do a collect and deliver.

artyeva

is there a name to go with every book? by that i mean - would it be a case of some people saying they'd buy more than one but then changed their minds or something..? just an idea.

Tiriel

The book was sold to an individual. It is their responsibility to pick it up - I don't like listing names and other people taking responsibility for their book. The person themselves should be doing that!

Nope. All books (bar 2) are paid for. The two people that haven't paid know that they haven't paid and are sitting it out it seems.

joeKel73

Bad form... +1 for name and shame

artyeva

oh. that is bad form. it's a fantastic book. they should be in possession of it - not sitting at home reading about it on this thread and making you trip over it every time you walk through yer hallway

EyeBlinks

OK last offer here.

I'll deliver to City Centre, Northside (Dublin), Mayo or Kerry if there's any of the two boxes for those areas :P

pullandbang

Likewise, Meath or Dublin West - I'll deliver them - or Sligo next weekend.

Jonnykitedude

I can hold some here in Trinity if its any use to you and If anybody wants to pop by they can.

J

Tiriel

Sounds great - only thing is I can't get into Trinity during the day to get them to you as I'm based out in Leopardstown!

EyeBlinks

Post a list of who hasn't collected yet.

OldGoat

Issue a FINAL date and then after that date put the books up for sale again at half price. I might take another one.

homer simpson

Or give them to a charity shop, if they ain't collected by X date?

Not a lot to be gained by this except satisfy the curiosity of everyone who has already collected theirs. I've emailed everyone - had 3 replies.. I don't believe in naming and shaming.

These have been paid for - so it's not right (in my opinion) to sell again.

homer_simpson wrote: »

If not collected (or at least the person has not made contact with a reason why they can't/won't pay the€6.60 postage fee) then I will open a poll and as a forum, decide what will happen to the books. Or, if anyone has the space and patience to take it over, great

EyeBlinks

You've great patience I have to say.

I suggest for next year.

Payment first to get in the book (including postage)
Submission by a certain date afterwards.
Anyone picking up on the night gets their postage back.

I work shifts so there weekends too? Now I'm off from Saturday till March the 4th.

If its any use just shout.

"Nope. All books (bar 2) are paid for. The two people that haven't paid know that they haven't paid and are sitting it out it seems."

Is one of those that haven't paid from Foxrock ?
Make sure these 2 are barred from submitting for next year's book. I am sure you are peeed off at this stage Tracy. As for the people who won't pay the postage it seems such a small price to pay after paying for the book in the first place.

kensutz

Who needs books delivered? I'm going to be in various parts of the country between Waterford - Dublin - Limerick and Cork.

OldGoat

I'm driving to Sligo on Thursday.

EyeBlinks

Jaysus people loads of offers of free delivery. Why are these not been taken up?

Tiriel

Frustrating isn't it!!!!!

.Longshanks.

Well mine showed up in the post yesterday via a 17,000 KM courier....aka CabanSail.
The book is stunning. I love it!

5uspect

I'm getting mine at the weekend. It's been with my parents since the start of the year. Looking forward to seeing it!

EyeBlinks

It's an absolute disgrace that Cork_Girl has 2 and a half boxes still in her flat.

Past time to get rid of these one way or another. I'll offer to take them to Trim for Danny O'Brien's weekend and sell them for a good cause we're looking to get a few bob for.

And the people who haven't collected should be perma banned from submitting again imo.

EyeBlinks

Ok..

It's grossly unfair the @Cork_Girl has to hoard these books and decide what might happen them. Plus she's a nice girl too... unlike me.

Could someone in authority give us a ruling here. I will pick them up and bring them to Trim for the photo memorial for the great @Valentia, Danny
O'Brien, a very well respected contributor on here. They will be sold to contribute to a charity set up by Danny shortly before he passed away, RAY Youth Café in Trim.

If people want to claim them fine, otherwise lets make good use of them and not abuse the hospitality of @Cork_Girl ?

T??

picaaf

Sorry, i wasn't on this thread, but it's beyond me that people don't pick up their books. I know of people who would love to have a copy and I'd gladly pay full price for that (seeing the full amount donated to the youth café in Trim would be just an extra bonus)

dave66

The mind boggles that people would go to the trouble of submitting and paying for a book, but never collect it.

For what it's worth, I say sell them off and donate the money to a charity and since Eyeblinks knows of a good cause, set up by a valued boards.ie member then why not that charity. I might be able to sell at least one book if it helps.
