OK so I shut down my site, my eBay and all the forms. Please everyone do NOT send me any packages until after October 18th. I'll officially re-open the site on November 1st when I'm back and have everything back running properly again. Thanks again for your support and see you in about a month ^_^. I'm off!

Oh noooo..... I didn't see this today or haven't checked this thread in a long while and.... game was sent already :(
It will probably arrive by next week .... game is God of War: Origins Collection ... ... if it arrives can you hold it till site is up ... I can wait .. thanks

That's a major bummer considering my UPS store charges a dollar fee per day after 7 days and I'll be away for 3+ weeks :P. Please in the future ALWAYS use our site to submit requests (that goes for everyone). Cya guys soon!

Scratch that ... it wasn't sent yet .... whew .... I'm saved

Great to hear Chronorayven Just to let you guys know, I have very limited Internet access but I'm doing well. Hope you all are too ^_^ I'll keep in touch once I'm back in a place where I have steady net access and all that good stuff. Cya guys soon enough!

Just another quick update for you guys. I'm starting some of the new GFC site changes at the moment (on paper since I have really limited Internet) but I'll get you all the details out when I get back towards the middle of the month. Talk to you all soon

Only one more week before I get back to the US, though it'll still be 11/01/2011 that I officially re-open the site for new orders. Thanks for all the Emails and support. I'll get everything running again as soon as I can so that we're ready for the busy holiday season upon us =) Talk to you all soon.

Hey JJ,

I want to take advantage of a really good deal, but I'm not sure how long it will last. I haven't kept up in a long while though. So I'm wondering if I can just have it sent to your UPS box, so that I can just place the order with you once the pages on your site are put back up.

Any issue with this, or can I go ahead and pull the trigger?

Thanks, and hope you're having a great time.

emjaymj, if you know my UPS box address go ahead and order it now. I'll be returning to the US on Tuesday so I'll pick it up on Friday or over the weekend if it comes in then. That should be fine. I'm not officially opening the site though until 11/01/2011 to work on some site updates. Thanks.

Oh and by the way emjaymj, yes I'm having a fantastic time. The food and weather couldn't be better and I've made a ton of friends (well they were my wife's friends first but now they're my friends too) and they've been the most amazing hosts ever. I'm excited to be returning home, but at the same time very sad I have to leave here. It's been a really great trip overall and it went by FAST (as all good trips do). Talk to you soon!

** Back in the USA ^_^ **

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm officially back in the USA and getting ready for the GFC re-open. I'm still about two weeks away from restarting the DR/PF orders, but in the meantime I'm going to work on website updates, eBaying stuff in my basement to make room (and get some money after my trip) and get things up and going before the Black Friday/Christmas/Holiday rush that is mid-November and December. Thanks again and I'll keep in touch!

For those of you who sent in orders during my trip, I'll be picking up the items and processing them this weekend. Thanks!

web comic couldn't help but think you would enjoy.

Cool You're back ... well I have one or two coming your way ... I'll just dm what it is for now so that you can put them in my pile ... and I'll fill up the form when the site is back up

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, nothing beats a nice long vacation

Hi Goomba,

I was just wondering if it is okay to start forwarding packages now if I have your shipping address already.
I am assuming the address is the same as the one used about a year ago?
Let me know, thanks.

Hi Leshita,

Yes you can begin forwarding packages to me if you like. The site will go live again as of 11/01/2011 but if you have my address for the UPS address (Willimantic) it hasn't changed. You can get a head start. Just know that the first week or two opening the site we're likely to get a ton of orders so we'll do our best to keep up with them . Also, Black Friday is around the corner (before you know it anyway) so it'll be good to get some orders in before then. Looking forward to doing business with you guys.

** GFC MEMBERSHIP CHANGES COMING SOON **

Just wanted to let you guys know that we'll be changing the GFC structure ever so slightly. We will be moving towards a Free/Paid Membership system that works something like this in a nutshell:

We have free accounts that work for the most part the site always has. Anyone can open an account, you can place orders and earn rewards and all that. The main difference is that in the past we've always discounted orders ($2.00 for the first item and $1.00 for each additional) and within the next couple of weeks free accounts will no longer receive this discount. It won't affect you much if you're placing a single item order and will only be a few dollars more for larger orders.

Paid accounts will have the existing discounts as well as new ones, and you'll earn SCC rewards at a higher percentage as well. The membership tiers will be clearly listed on the site and can be activated at any time for a small monthly fee. I'm going to allow you to change your membership tier at any time for now, so you can be a free member as long as you like but when you're going to be placing a bigger order you can bump yourself up for that month to get the discounts. You can use this to your advantage.

I think it's a fair way to generate more income for the site as I want to grow larger and will need additional funds to do so, as well as reward the more frequent customers and those who order more. I'll have all the details on the site very soon and you'll see it's actually a good thing overall for our site. Thanks guys. Feedback is always welcome of course.

** GFC SITE IS LIVE AGAIN ^_^ **

Just wanted to say that the GFC services are officially live again today. Granted, I have to reboot all the pages so there may be some glitches there (if you see any let me know). It'll be about a week before I introduce the Free/Paid membership dichotomy so for now things will be just like we left off.

For those of you with orders that were placed when I was away, I'll be adding them to GYROS and processing them one by one this week. By the end of the weekend I should be mostly caught up and we'll be moving onto greener pastures. Glad to be back. Hope to do business with you guys soon.

Oh and if you did place an order but haven't put it into our system, please sign into your account and set up a new order with either the DR or PF service (whichever you used) and in the comments mention that you already ordered it. Thanks!

Hey JJ great to see you back! I hope you had a great trip in China =) Just a couple things I wanted to ask:

I have previously made 2 order with you guys (invoice #'s 1515 and 1620) for which I received some service charge credits for doing so however I no longer see them when I log onto my account =S. I was just wondering what happened to them as I wanted to use them towards my next order with you guys.

Also, I was interested in placing an order with you through Amazon.com for a set of Grado G-Cush headphone earpads and I have a $25 amazon.com (not .ca) gift card that I would like to apply to the order. They initially cost $45.00 so the total outstanding balance before service charges/taxes would be $20.00. How should I go about doing this?

Thanks, appreciated as always

Hi Chingster,

Service Charge Credits (SCC's) don't expire so as long as you earned them they should show up in our system. The way it works though is that with each order you place on our system, the site will automatically deduct any SCC's you have up to the full price of the service charges. So is it possible that already redeemed the ones you had? If not, I'll look into it for you. I'm at work now though so I have no access to my office files.

With Amazon orders (in relation to Gift Cards), just put it in as a Direct Request with us. Mark the cost of the item down $25 on the form and include the Gift Card code in the comments to apply to your order. Or, alternatively you could use the Package Forwarding service and just pay for it yourself, redeem the gift card towards the purchase price and have it shipped to us. Either way works. Thanks again
