Ordered 4... no new toys for a good bit. Kids might get their Xmas present "wrapped" in Festool blue & green, hehe.
I spent lots of time mulling and debating which sizes to get... keeping in mind what other Systainers these would replace and free up, and what I would use those for... Had to make a spreadsheet and "map" them out so it works out. Especially fun since I have messed with the box sizes for certain things.. e.g. I use a Sys 1 for the Domino assortment... but I moved the router bit holder foam to a Sys 2.
My desire is for my accessory items to be in Fogtainers. That way when I grab my Domino "stack", the blue bottom Systainer makes it clear I got the Dominos for use.. Same with route rand router bits... Sanders and sandpapers...
The lag time is a bummer, but I understand the cause.

Man I wanted to do that. Ordering 1 x Sys 2 for router bits (since sys1 doesn't fit the tall ones  ) but my dad isn't a fan of non necessities so I could only pull off a "support buy" as I phrased it  Don't mind the lag time. It takes longer for a Festool that i've order to come through so it's not that bad. |

Jon,
Hope you had a great trip!
Look forward to your order. I am a little concerned about the rate of orders coming in. It is what it is, but would love to know if it is the economy, the price, lead time, temporary lag, etc., that is holding back the orders.
Peter
Peter while I like the colour and had thought I may buy some I dont see any extra value in the fogtainer so for me its the shiping and customs charges that changed my mind. I am on the wrong side of the pond for this one.But I'm sure you will sell plenty and it will be worth all your hard work |

Also I see more and more people in the UK with festool systainers and getting commen now atleast ill be different again!!!  JMB |

I think you may get as many orders in the last two days as were ordered in all that time before the deadline. Whenever I put deadlines on things I sell that always happens. For instance I may take from 2-4, but for me there is no reason to part with my money until the 15th. The extra value is only to show that you are a part of the FOG, our club. If that is not reason enough then there is no reason. |

Peter,
I plan on making my order in the next few days, I'm just having to divide my cash between living expenses and putting down some money on my jet drum sander. So once i get that organized i will have a better idea of how many FOGtainers im going to take.

For anyone really but especially for the international guys ... if a guy buys a Sys 4 would it be possible to pack a Sys 1 or 2 inside of that Sys 4 to reduce potential additional costs. That might help the UK guys. Just a thought.

No, I'm afraid not. It just won't fit. For UK members, I've just posted some info on shipping costs in a separate thread. |

I don't have any suggestions for the UK FOGgers, but for the Canadians out there, so as to get round the import taxes, duty and extra shipping charges, I am having my FOGtainers shipped to a warehouse just a mile over the US border in Champlain, NY. Their handling charge is $3 a package. Then when I re-cross the border back into Canada, I just have to pay the duty which is nominal (FOGtainers are $10 each, right?  ) The website of the warehouse is:- http://freeportforwarding.com/ebayusers.htmI am sure there are a bunch of these places all over the US close to Vancouver, Toronto etc. I just wait for a quiet day in the office combined with a nice day for a drive and take a 40 minute drive to pick up my stuff. Richard. |

Richard,
Couldn't you cross the border with some old tool in the trunk, then on the return put the tool in the systainer? (or some similar such thing?)

Is there a min number you need to make this group purchaes a go? Example: The total number of FOGstainer must be greater the 200 for this Group Purchase to be a go. If you sell less the 200 the group purchase is off and we all get our money back? Just asking? |

If you sell less the 200 the group purchase is off and we all get our money back? Just asking? There isn't a minimum order number, but the costs per unit go up and if there isn't enough of a cushion, I pay the difference out of my pocket. Peter Edit: I am sorry. That post probably reads wrong. What I should have said, is that I have always anticipated a decrease in numbers from what was originally indicated in the first thread or the second thread and have had to give anticipated numbers - without any guarantees - to the parties involved. The costs for printing have a sweet spot. The shipping from Europe has a sweet spot. That depends on size of systainer as well as total quantity. I did build in a cushion, but regardless of what the numbers are, I gave my assurances to many people to do everything I could to see this project to the end. And I will. I am proud of this project and what it has done for the forum. It will only do better. There is time, and as Nickao said in his own words, the orders will accelerate as the deadline looms. Keep smiling! Peter |

I like the look, the blue and the green goes well together, blue is a far more practical colour than the off white of the festool systainers. I bet that they will hold their colour far better than the off white which do go a horrible yellow.I would love to replace all my systainers with these. If the fogtainer is a huge success perhaps it could be a annual event,what do you think Peter bit to early?  thinking aloud how about adding a date to the printing ....... 2010 edition ...... probably a bit late...... |
