Just a heads-up...
We are closing in on 60% sold... that means only 40% of the hammers are left!

A legitimate question was raised earlier by MTucker regarding shipping costs for multiple hammer purchases. After consulting the Oracle I have arrived at the following system that works for all involved.
1 hammer: Shipping is included in purchase price.
2 hammers: We will add $5 to the price. NOT double shipping!
3 or 4 hammers: No additional cost for the third or fourth hammer beyond the extra $5 for the second hammer.
NOW... All of the above holds true if ALL hammers are going to the SAME address. Multi-hammer sales to multiple addresses do not have any savings on shipping.
If I have completely bungled this explanation, please drop me a line and I will attempt to do better. Suffice to say, if you order more than one hammer you will not be hit with double or triple shipping.
QUESTION: Kiera, I already ordered more than one. How do I get the extra shipping money back?
ANSWER: Once shipping begins in December I will refund any extra amount. More than likely this will be done direct to your credit card but if that looks like a hassle (partial refunds sometimes make VISA/etc. pooey) then I will cut checks. Either way, refunds will go out in December.
QUESTION: Kiera, so if I order multiple hammers today how do I get the shipping discount?
ANSWER: At this time (Cuz I am too damn busy looking cute) I need you to go through the normal process of ordering the hammers and then I will send out a refund on the extra amount. I am sorry, but being cute is a full-time job and I just can't find any free-time to recode the website/shopping cart.
XOXOXOXOXO

Before going through that hassle, you might want to see if some of us would rather add the balance to the ALCF donation. I'd just as soon see my refund go there.

I'm with photog, I added extra $ already hoping we can get a shitload built up for the Sherpas, and wouldn't want you going to the trouble of refunding a little bit of the extra $ on the shipping for the 2nd. Perhaps let those who do not want it to go to the Sherpas to ask for it from you. Then you might only have one or 2 to worry over instead of a whole F*ing list. Easier on you, since you are working for free already, the big point was to get hammers with the secondary one to raise some scratch for Conrads Sherpa folks.
Thanks for listening.
Bill

Eric... That is both a WONDERFUL thought and rather more easy to accommodate.
Here is the plan redux...
My secretary (Ms. Knightley to you bunch) will send letters to those who have purchased more than one hammer. She will ask if you want a refund on excess shipping or if you prefer to make the overage a donation to the ALCF.
To be perfectly clear... This applies to multi-hammer purchases only.

Can I just have you use the extra shipping and beef up the donation with it? The nice round $100 price tag was exactly what I was expecting and hoping for, so I'm happy to just round up the donation portion.
Also, I know Theron isn't a big drinking man, but I still wish he had a "Buy Theron a Beer" paypal widget like Russ has (Rootbeer instead?). How about a "Buy Theron's Wife an evening out" button? Or a "Buy the Build Party a Pizza" paypal widget?

I... will... think... about... that.
Maybe an iPhone app? Nope, Steve would never allow that. How about a website where people XXXXXX and a small XXXXXXX XXX is posted. You could then XXXXXX the profile XXXX of the XXXXXX you want to XXX for.
I should not think out loud...
I am going to do this one!
EDIT: The XXXs became a necessity once I realized I could build this page and sell it to Google for $2.5 billion.
EDIT REDUX: I know it has been done before... but not like I am imagining!

At this point I presume many of the ST regulars have ordered their hammer if they had planned to.
Now is the time to help your friends out who may not regularly visit ST.
If you know someone who wanted a hammer but they may not regularly visit ST or perhaps did not get Ed's e-mail (or perhaps need a hammer but had no clue about what has been going on regarding hammer development on ST) then please tell them what's up with hammer sales. We sure don't want anyone missing out on the hammer they may have waited years for simply because they prefer to climb than read about climbing!

Well, since you haven't been keeping track of the people from "the list" that still haven't ordered,
how are we supposed to know who to contact?
How many have been sold to non STer's?
From what I can tell there is nothing to stop an unknown outsider from
buying as many as they want.

IMO, everyone you know who might appreciate these kickass hammers.
How many have been sold to non STer's?
Just curious--why does this matter? Anyone who has stumbled across the hammers on Simon's site separately from ST is likely to be a climber in the same spirit as the STer's. Let 'em buy what they want!

ontheedge offered to carry some hammers up to SF; if he doesn't mind, he can carry mine up and you can keep the shipping as an additional donation. I'll pay him in beer.

This is hard to ask, but can you be patient with at least one hammer, and not sell out immediately?
Times are tight, I have been an unemployed student for 2 years now, but do not want to miss my opportunity for one of these babies.
I will find a way to pony up before x-mas. Please?
