Good news and bad news:
Bad news first, the bags are going to cost $19.00 each.
Good news (I suppose) - each bag will contain an additional 10% of magnesium chloride, or 55 lbs instead of 50 lbs.
This is all due to the fact that the guy at the company that I spoke to did not understand that the industrial grade magnesium chloride is put into bags at 25 kg/bag (55 lbs). Also, the shipping charges increased from when he gave me the original quote. The original quote was for 48 - 50 lb bags or 2400 lbs, what he sent was 40 - 55 lb bags or 2200 lbs. So the total weight was a bit less, but the shipping was a bit more, so he did not change the original cost of the total shipment (still $760 - what I wrote him a check for).
Group buys like this never go perfectly smoothly. I tried to let several people into the buy even after the buy had already been completed. I hope you guys won't give me too much grief on this, remember, I'm not making a red cent.
So...anyhow, for those people that asked for more than one bag I may be lopping off a bag off your order. I'm not going to try and rebag this stuff. If anyone ordered an extra bag to help out early with the order, I appreciate it, and you might want to make the extra available for other folks.
If we need to in the future we can always do this again (though I'll try to get someone else to organize, lol).
