The order had left Hong Kong, and should arrive Canada very soon. It's like safe to say we can meet up next weekend to distribute the goods.

Is everyone still ok with Fairview Mall parking lot - TTC Entrance?


I will be out of the country til end of November, will you be able to hold for me til i come back?

Thanks!


Of course, I will hold it for you until you return.

I just met up with J__ from the last group buy yesterday. :P

I believe the entrance/exit to ttc is out in the parking lot facing the intersection of sheppard and don mills.

If we're meeting at the same place as last time, that should be the exit close to Sears correct?

There's no google street view inside the Fairview Mall property but this is close enough.

http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=toronto+fa ... 8,,0,-1.31

To get to the Sears exit, turn into Fairview Mall at Leith Hill Rd., turn right and keep going until you get to that white building (a multi-level parking lot).

From the TTC, get to Don Mills station, go up to where the buses are, and take the stairs up one more level to the street. You'll end up right underneath the same white building.

Hopefully that helps.

[Another slight update]

The parcel had enter Canada and passed custom. It's in transit heading somewhere (hopefully close to my location).

I would like to hold the meeting this Saturday @ 2pm in Fairview Mall TTC parking lot. I'll be there between 2pm and 4pm to accommodate everyone's schedule.

I encourage everyone to come out instead of making alternate arrangement. This way it saves both yours and my time.

After I receive the parcel this week, I will update everyone on the final price to bring this Saturday in person. Thanks!

Thanks poopooegg! See you on Saturday.

BTW, I wouldn't post my cell phone on a forum. Use the spell-out method for a few of the digits: four-oh-three. When I listed my car on Leasebusters a while back, I would receive strange text messages (spam, services, etc).. there's lots of scavenging scripts out there.

Thanks~ It's too late for me to change the post... I need to get Tanner to change it for me.

Thanks Rick, for your time and effort in organizing this group buy. I know it's not easy coordinating so many purchases and spending your own time waiting for people to pick up their products. I hope everything went smoothly for you.

I may just have to convert all my filters to B+W MRC now :evil:.. what a difference in glare reduction!!! My current filters are standard B+W UV.

Thanks again.
