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!

Re: OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales
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.

Re: OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales
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.

Re: OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales
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... Bryan On 10/10/07, Gerald Thornberry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not entirely true.

Re: OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales
I want to place an order but i need to pay with paypal. In order to pay with paypal i need to get in touch with someone at the Cshop . This are sales OpenBSD is missing, i know a few other people who also would buy cd's and t-shirts if they could pay with their paypal accounts - Original Message - From: "L. V.

OpenBSD is loosing cd and tshirt sales
The OpenBSD project is loosing sales. I am trying to buy some tshirts and the 4.2 prerelease but nobody answers my emails at the Calgary shop. Please i need someone at the Cshop reply to my emails ASAP. I am trying to buy the OpenBSD CD for over six months now. Noone answered my emails when 4.1 was released, and now i do not want to miss 4.2 . I also want to buy some tshirts. Please someone at the Cshop reply please. Openbsd Project is loosing money by not selling CDs that could and should be sold to people who are willing to buy them. I am copying to misc@ also in order to get a faster response, maybe someone can assist the people at the Cshop so they can sell properly. Or maybe someone else should be in charge of selling internationally.
