corneys arrive from germany

[Twistedfinger]

Looking at the photo's on Beoir theres about 40 to a palette. so we're at about 5.4ish pallets half way there!!

[Cazamodo]

I believe they knew someone who was in frieght to ship them over. They were set to 40 a pallette and I believe they ordered 8 palletes which is a whole 320 kegs.
Maybe we should set that as our limit, and increase only if there's demand for a whole other pallete?
Also, there's no rush I'm sure!

Now, does anyone know anyone with freight shipping ties? Haha

[Shippo]

Blimey, this thread moves on fast! Can you show me as having four for now (my name is on there but no quantity against it)? Might be able to manage a couple more but will have to update later if I can.
Thanks!

Before we get too carried away, some sort of plan for dealing with a fairly large sums of money and some sort of plan for storing and distributing the kegs would be good. Aberdeen to Devon is one hell of a geographical spread...

Cornie kegs are standard for coke dispense in pubs and clubs in Germany, so they are a lot more common there than they would be here or in the Uk.

That sounds great, If the lads at the extremes could organise their orders into a delivery from your place of full pallet loads would make things a lot simpler.

I could collect two pallet loads for Manchester area, probably my own and pas as we are quite close.

I will speak to a couple of contacts regarding good prices for pallet collections from Derbyshire to Manchester. Or I could make several collections over a week or so for price of fuel and a couple of beers.

The standard method for that company was 20 cornies to a pallet, the pallet was charged at €7.50.

There was not charge for packing only the pallet itself.

We asked them to pack 40 to a pallet to decrease costs, they were happy to do it.

[GrowlingDogBeer]

I could shift a palette load, maybe more down Sarf. All depends what will fit in an estate car plus a 5 * 3 box trailer.

Re: lids
Bolt on Tyre Valves would work well with silicon washers




off you go,as you were

[EoinMag]

Wait and see how they handle the issue of the wrongly delivered lids.

I am waiting on them to tell me on Monday, I am hoping they just decide to post us out 174 replacement correct lids, but I suspect with those numbers they may want their incorrect lids back, and the cornies are already being distributed....so let me update you all on Monday.

[Skiptonian]

Someone on the "other Irish" forum mentioned that they were "half the weight of his Cornies" (Or something like that)

That might suggest a couple of questions,

Are these branded Cornies or something else?
Are they Stainless Steel or something else?

[EoinMag]

They are pepsi cola dispensing cornies and are the ones with a rubber collar on them.

They are stainless.

Thank you

The kegs are also used and not cleaned.
