If anybody is ordering from that website, maybe i can throw an order in and you can mail it to me...the buggers wanted $16 bucks to ship a freakin hat...that cost $15 bucks....don't think I need one that bad
I will call them tomorrow and see if I can get a reduced price for 50-60 hats.

I was quoted a price of $1544.08 for 100 hats including shipping.This was without asking for a bulk discount.This makes the price for each hat delivered to my door, $15.44.My wife and I work for the Post Office and could reship one or two hats Priority Mail for $4.80.This would make the price to FGF forum members $20.24 for one hat, $35.68 for two hats.I am willing to front the cost for 100 hats, more if needed,and reship to fellow members.Plus if each person would kick in a couple extra dollars,I will donate the funds to Geoff for this website.Please advise if anyone is interested. Thanks, Jeff Personal checks would be okay, but please make sure they are good.Currently, I am home from work recovering from a surgery last week, so I will have time to devote to this project.

I will take 2 black and 2 tan. If you go ahead with this, let me know and I will get a check in the mail. These will be x-mas gifts, so hopefully we can wrap this up in a timely manner. (pun intended)
thanks much!

Jeff, can you check on USPS to Canada, be a liitle more so would have to add that on... I'll take a black and tan (sounds like an english beer) 1 of each. Probably could be put in a pretty small box...
You might need to think of an inexpensive mode of packaging if you are shipping a number out....add that cost too.
Let me know and I will get the funds to you right away either paypal or check.
Jeff, I would also like 1 black and 1 tan sent to Canada. If you can let me know the cost, I'll forward payment. I think the idea of a few extra bucks for this site is great. I'm in. Trevor
Update, I spoke with the owner earlier today and negotiated the price to $13.00 per hat.His inventory on these hats is depleted and said it would take 5 to 6 weeks to get more from his supplier. I ordered 75 of the black and 75 of the khaki and he will update me on their arrival.Hopefully this can be a done deal before Christmas.To accomodate everyone, keep the price as low as possible and yet not lose my shirt, I propose this: US Bird Owners 1 hat-$18.00,check/money order; $19.00,Paypal 2 hats-$32.00, check/money order; $33.25 Paypal Canadian Bird Owners 1 hat-$18.00, money order; $19.00, Paypal 2 hats-$35.00,money order; $36.25 Paypal International Bird Owners 1 Hat-$23.00, money order; $24.00 Paypal 2 Hats-43.00, money order: $45.00 Paypal Paypal charges 3% plus .30 cents per transaction.
Anyone interested please private message or email me at jkentrup@cinci.rr.com and let me know the amount and color. I will add you to the list and notify you about payment when I have or am about to receive hats.Please do not send payment in advance! Any questions or problems along the way, please ask. I will fill orders based on first come/first serve. If you have replied interest earlier in this thread, I ask that you email or PM again so I can compile the list. Thanks Jeff
After reviewing my previous post, I realize that I forgot to add that the listed price included Priority shipping in the US and First Class to foreign countries.Too many details. Sorry, Jeff
Hi, still waiting to receive hats. I will call later this week to check. I have paid for the hats and I have a list of about 30 members requesting them. The vendor was out of these hats and his supplier has/had them on backorder. Once he receives them, they have to be embroidered and the officially licensed tags sewn on. It will probably be several more weeks. Once I receive them, I will get them out as quickly as possible.This project is a go on my end, just have to wait on their arrival.I have my money tied up, so I'm as anxious as anyone to get them. Over half of the black hats and a third of the khaki are spoken for. Anyone else interested, please contact me.
Thanks for doing that, should have done myself to make this easier. Yes, I have received shipment of hats in. I am honoring requests from those members who asked last month first.These hats are nice, firebird insignia is embroidered into cloth hat, not silkscreened or a patch. Adjusting strap is cloth & metal, not cheap plastic, which will crack. Still have about 40 black and 60 khaki not spoken for, if anyone else is interested, please PM me or email me, jkentrup@cinci.rr.com. Pictures of hats can be seen on page 1 of this thread.Any extras are going to Ebay at a much higher price.Here are the prices again:
1 hat-$18.00,check/money order; $19.00,Paypal 2 hats-$32.00, check/money order; $33.25 Paypal Canadian Bird Owners 1 hat-$18.00, money order; $19.00, Paypal 2 hats-$35.00,money order; $36.25 Paypal International Bird Owners 1 Hat-$23.00, money order; $24.00 Paypal 2 Hats-43.00, money order: $45.00 Paypal Paypal charges 3% plus .30 cents per transaction. These prices include shipping. My mailing adress is: Jeff Kentrup 5443 Sanrio Ct. Cincinnati OH 45247 When you send payment, please include your address,color & quantity and screen name on FGF list, so I can keep track of my list of requests.As mentioned and suggested earlier, if anyone wants to include extra funds I will donate a lump sum to this site.This is a good deal, as hats sell for $15.00 elsewhere and shipping is MUCH, 2-3 times, higher. This site is a great asset and deserves our support.
Thanks again Jeff, I ordered 2 last nite but if after everyone here has odered and before they go to ebay, I may order 1 or 2 more...can alway give em away to some of my Firebird buddies at a meet...
Thanks Jeff. Just ordered my two! Let's all be sure to belly up as they say and full fill our orders as this was a leap of faith on Jeff's part. So let's be sure not to stick him with these hats...

Have to point out that the original poster was TRAUSCHU who suggested the hats be made in the first place and posted info to this site. So the credit should go to him. Just trying to help out, hope I didn't step on any toes. Jeff
Step on toes? You are the ONLY one who actually made this come to fruition! There has been talk on this site of these hats for the last several years. Here's to you!!!!
yes Traushu (Thomas Raushuber) sent that out locally to HALF and WAPA also, but there werent many takers...we DO have our own HALF hats already....so Jeff took up the baton and kept it going! great job!
Check is in the mail for two black hats Jeff. Thanks, Danny

Sorry, hopefully they will be there soon! I really did a thorough tape job on them to protect the hats from damage. I hope that didn't make them look suspicious. Out of about 21 packages I have sent out so far, 9 to Canada and 1 to Europe. I haven't had any returned back yet. If anyone doesn't receive their package, contact me. Unfortunately, tracking is not available to other countries unless you spend over 20 dollars. Still have more hats available! Thanks, Jeff
