Group Buy - Army Ration Packs

Post by Bodsy » Tue Apr 05, 2011 8:07 pm

I'm just getting together a group buy of 24 hour Army Ration packs.

If anyone is interested, The price is £7.50 per pack excluding delivery! This is much cheaper than the £17.95 that the cadets suppliers charge!

Menu will be mixed menus as they come in a box of 10 mixed menus. Can't put that you get specific menus & certainly not that you order 5 of menuX.

TBH, all ofthe menus are pretty damn good nowadays. Even the vegetarian ones!

Anyway I'm speaking to the guy tonight, sign up & post how many you'd want

THIS EXCLUDES POSTAGE, which would currently be about £15/box of 10. But I am hopeful of some other arrangement through the network. :mrgreen:

In terms of the supplier, he started getting them for his Carp fishing club (about 30 people) and then other people wanted them, expeditions, camping trips, festivals etc, he even supplies Hell's Angels :shock: , so he has good links for these on a regular basis.

I am ordering 10 boxes of 10, he may have to do these in two batches of 5, depends on a couple of orders he has outstanding, but won't be long afterwards.
John, I assume I'll bring these over in May :thumbright:

So, can you please CONFIRM that you want these by clicking on the sign up again above.

Ian - any idea on the shelf-life ? Will they be near the end date, hence the availability ?

I've been trying to get to the ultimate supplier, but a bit locked out by them as they can see a potential deal.
So will deal with as far along as I can. Unless you have another contact from your last man mountain of packs you bought del?
Date packed is 2009, but again will check it. they have 10 year shelf life. :thumbright:

Actually they'll last much longer, but 10year army usable. :thumbright:
