I'm far from being out of supplies on my nuuns tab's, but im looking to get a few more, and some mates are after some too.

So here's the deal.

Looking at approx. $55 per box (including postage), 8 Tubes in a box. So roughly $6.90 a tube or just over 50c a tab.

Last time I went through this guy, he gave us a good deal on the postage and we were only getting 6 boxes. He wasn't willing to move on price at the time, but if there is enough interest he may be willing.

These are all the caffeine free, sugar free ones. Full of electrolites and IMO make a huge difference towards the latter stages of your golf round (or other chosen sport).

Flavours:
Tropical
Citrus
Fruit Punch
Tri-Berry
Strawberry Lemonade
Banana
Kola
Lemon Lime.

I'll look at doing the order in a few weeks, around 23rd of April. Oncei get an idea of numbers, I can confirm the price.

The order can only per box, single tubes can't be done. If you want to mix and match, best to organise with people in your area.

Cheers
Rubes.

Order:
Citrus: Weekend Hacker
Tropical: DanielJC
Fruit Punch
Tri-Berry
Strawberry Lemonade: TS, Hardboiled, Peppas
Banana
Kola
Lemon Lime: Mudrat

[Johnny Canuck]

Strawberry lemonade. Best flavor ever.

[Captain Nemo]

How much deos 1tab make?

[rubin]

1 tab per approx. 0.5L of water

So essentially 1 tab per bottle.

[WeekendHacker]

i'll take 1 x Citrus

[simmsy]

They say 500ml on tube but I use them in 750ml and it's fine.

Shits all over Gatorade and poweraide

[simmsy]

i'll take 1 x Citrus

Hey big spenda!

[rubin]

FWIW - they are normally around $12 - $15 per tube retail.

[aym]

This place used to sell them really cheap free postage from UK:

http://www.wiggle.co.uk

but I can't find it at the moment, but they have other similar products.

[Yossarian]

Can you do a single tube?

[Captain Nemo]

Ok I'm in
I usually use Endura which is great but keen on giving Caseys sponsor a go...

[WeekendHacker]

Hey big spenda!
Is one box not enough? 12 tabs per tube and 8 tubes per box is enough for me for 12 months of golf.

[rubin]

Can you do a single tube?

I can - but one tube for you is 96 tabs.

may as well buy the box. ;)

[Peppas]

Got a link to info on this stuff?

Better than gatorade?!?!?!

[rubin]

Ok I'm in
I usually use Endura which is great but keen on giving Caseys sponsor a go...

IMO - better than endura. better taste as well.

how many?

[Shadesy]

is golf really that Taxing?

[TS]

I will take 2 boxes of Strawberry Lemonade please.

[mudrat]

I'll take a box of lemon- lime please Rubes, any other east coasters will to split postage from Wankerville?

[hardboiled]

I'll be in it for a box. Strawberry lemonade. I'll be happy to mix and match with some one else.

[Lagerlover]

Sorry mudrat, I was once addicted to these, I eventually kicked the habit...

[rubin]

Got a link to info on this stuff?

updated OP with the link

[Peppas]

OK, I will try a box... strawberry lemonade seems popular so I'll grab that thanks.

Mudrat, I am on east coast too so we can share postage from WA?

[rubin]

not that bad - but on those baking hot days or when its really humid, it makes a massive difference

I'll sort postage out with him when it gets all ordered. there may be enough i can get a direct shipping to 1 location on the east coast.

IMO - the strawberry lemonade is a bit average. the tropical, citrus, lemon lime and tri-berry are the most popular ones.

[hardboiled]

Actually can u make mine tri berry please. Anyone in Melbourne want to split postage?

You're killing me Rubes. They need to make a sampler with a tube of each!

I dunno what flavour to get now!

PS - looking at the Nuun site they sell packs of 2 x 4 tubes for $44, free shipping over $50?

[Peppas]

Woops my bad, says US addresses only!

I can send one over to you. i've got 4 or 5 flavours here and to be honest i'm not a fan of the strawberry anyway.

[Johnny Canuck]

I got the strawberry lemonade last.time. not the best flavour.

[WeekendHacker]

[Peppas]

Sounds awesome, thanks!

[Danieljc]

I'll take a box of tropical.

East coast as well for shipping.

[rubin]

Sounds awesome, thanks!

I prefer referencing my extra stiff shafts.

[Johnny Canuck]

Surly he'll.give better shipping. We only paid $47 for 5 boxes last time.

[rubin]

He should do. Hopefully he'll do better on prices as well as he has them at 47 + post now.

[Croydo]

I'll take a box of tri-berry

[timah!]

What's the shelf life of these things?

[Yossarian]

thats Yoss.

I prefer referencing my extra stiff shafts.

I imagine you are ordering a lot of fruit punch.

[Johnny Canuck]

Stay away from the strawberry lemonade!

[rubin]

Dont knock the fruit punch. Its one of the better ones

[KristianJ]

careful peppas, it's how he gets the boys behind the gym shed.

Are milkshakes out of vogue nowadays?

I'd possibly go half a box if someone else was keen on half. Not too fussed about the flavour.

[Yossarian]

Dont knock the fruit punch. Its one of the better ones

You like the fruit punch. Nice.

[Daves]

I bought a box of the Kona Cola last time I got some (this Ebayer http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=nuun&_sacat=2904&_odkw=&nma=true&item=160757467153&si=zE1jcfuEcZzZ%2BUoKVDB%2BEkVhr4I%3D&_osacat=2904&_ssn=dana67301). The Cola has caffeine in it but I am not greatly fussed on the flavour I have to say. The Lemon Lime, Fruit Punch, Orange, Tropical Fruit and the Tri Berry are all good though.

That looks like it may be the same bloke.

[Golfnut]

Can you get a few differ ent flavours per box rubin?

[rubin]

Can you get a few differ ent flavours per box rubin?

Nope, one flavor per box.

I'm gonna get some more as well nut, so we can swap some flavours around.

[MegaWatty]

Strawberry Lemonade sucks....HARD!

[Captain Nemo]

IMO - better than endura. better taste as well.

how many?

1box of lemon lime...
Anyone else from Sydney?

[Peppas]

Did I miss anyone else?

[Croydo]

TS as well

[idgolfguy]

I'm in for 5 or 6 tubes. A sampler please.

[Captain Nemo]

Ok, get it happening, we can work out logistics later,
unless
Is it easier for rubin to ship to us individually?

[rubin]

I'm in for 5 or 6 tubes. A sampler please.

Id - the guy only does boxes of 1 flavor. 8 tubes in a box.

I'm not going to be bringing in a box of every flavor for my own, I'm only looking to get a box of lime for myself.

[rubin]

Ok, get it happening, we can work out logistics later,
unless
Is it easier for rubin to ship to us individually?

Ahhhh no. It would be easier and cost less to get them to one person (central) and then distribute from there.

I will happily send the, individually but the cost would be far higher

[Captain Nemo]

Ok, whatever's easiest.
I'm happy for someone to send them on to me, I'll pay for shipping...

[rubin]

Ok, whatever's easiest.

I'll check I once I know numbers and let everyone know.

[TS]

Since you guys is saying Strawberry Lemonade is no good.

Make mine 1 box of Tri-Berry, and 1 box of Lemon Lime please.

I don't mind paying more for shipping for it to ship to my place directly.

[Hawkers2008]

I will take a box of triberry

[Yossarian]

Do they have any rawberry?

[Shadesy]

I take one tube of mango!

[rubin]

I take one tube of mango!

U have trouble reading dont u? ;)

[idgolfguy]

[Shadesy]

You drive a hard bargain..

2 tubes of lychee and 1 mango!

[Johnny Canuck]

What do you do with your empty tubes, Lubes?

[vovo]

http://www.probikekit.com/au/hydration-nutrition/sports-nutrition-products/isotonic/nuun-active-sports-isotonic-hydration-tablets-4-pack-tropical-grape-strawberry-fruit-punch.html

seems like they do do a box with different tubes.

Feel free to order your own, but thats a lot more expensive than where i get them from. And as i already said, the guy i get them from doesnt do mixed boxes.

[simmsy]

This is alot of fun.

[Golfnut]

Nope, one flavor per box.

I'm gonna get some more as well nut, so we can swap some flavours around.

I'll take a box of tropical rubin and maybe we can do some swaps between the WAnkers.

[TourFit]

What do you do with your empty tubes, Lubes?

Puts his lube in there. Easy to carry around.

Rubes' Lube Tube

[Daves]

If it is the same seller Rubin, they also do a mixed 4 pack;

Mango and Lychee Flavour is the nuts, if anyone is having trouble with flavours.

[Daves]

The listing I have linked is $7. Some of their listings show up as $33, some as $7.

[Captain Nemo]

My bad, so these are a box of 4 tubes, Rubes, the ones you getting are boxes of 8, correct???

[rubin]

That is the same guy by the looks. When I did the search it didn't show these up. Happy to include them though.

Nope, not the same quantity. That is for 4 tubes. the ones I'm looking are 8 tubes.

[Captain Nemo]

Ok, so the ones you are ordering are boxes of 8 tubes.
Ill take 1 box of mixed if you can get them.

[rubin]

the mixed ones come in boxes of 4 only by the looks, and it just says assorted, so specific flavours in the mixed boxes won't happen.

[KristianJ]

Seems that us buying individually through the Bay would be the same price as you've quoted in the OP, Rubes, if not a few cents less?

Do you think he'd do a better price than $55? Otherwise I might just grab some through the Bay store.

[Yossarian]

Lol.

Last time we got 6 boxes or so, and he dropped the shipping a little bit. At the time i suggested that if it all works out ok, i would come back with a substantially larger order. The guy said that he would be willing to revisit his price if the order was large enough.

I'll drop him an email and see what he says. if he just takes a few $$$ off the shipping price again, it probably would be easier to order your own.

[KristianJ]

Cheers - I'll wait and see what response you get back.

[rubin]

Quick update - I've sent the bloke an email thursday last week to see what he can do re: pricing and shipping. Just waiting for a response.

Once I have one. Can confirm pricing for all involved Nd look to place the order.

[Jeffo1123]

Would I be able to buy 1 tab off you on Saturday please rubes? Or even a tube for $10 or something to give it a try? And if I like, I shall get more!

[rubin]

No worries mate. I'll bring a variety of flavours

[Captain Nemo]

So what's the latest on this?

Sweet, thanks a lot.

[virge666]

I will have a box of Strawberry lemonade then

Cheers

[TourFit]

Uh oh!

I see Virge being disappoint :cry:

[rubin]

I see me being disappoint. The bloke hasn't replied yet...........

[MegaWatty]

The best words that I have ever heard from my wife were "I had some of your NUUN tablets. I really like the Strawberry Lemonade ones". What a woman!

[Johnny Canuck]

Yes!

[MegaWatty]

No. I'm not trading!

[Johnny Canuck]

Damn.

[virge666]

The best words that I have ever heard from my wife were "I had some of your NUUN tablets. I really like the Strawberry Lemonade ones". What a woman!

Are you sure they were your NUUN tabs . . . and not other tabs ???

[rubin]

another brief update.

sent another email to the bloke yesterday requesting pricing etc. I'll give it a week or so for him to respond, if nothing, i'll do a bit of a search and see what I can find who will help us out. IMO - $55+ per box isn't much of a deal.

Failing that, i may unfortunately have to cancel the GB.

[rubin]

Sorry guys - group buy cancelled for the moment. No response from this bloke regarding pricing or shipping etc. so he will receive a pretty harsh email when he checks em in the morning US time.

I'm going to be searching for someone else who can help me out. I've noted everyones interest, and will let them know what i find.

Sorry lads.

[timah!]

JAT, but why not look at ordering a massive bulk lot of sqwincher quick stix?
The same thing really, with plenty of Aussie outlets and would possibly be cheaper?

[rubin]

I can certainly have a look. Havent tried them before are they any good?

[Peppas]

Hey Rubin, let me know your details to give you some money for that sampler you sent me.

[rubin]

scratch that.

I've been onto a different site. Cheaper per tube - and the more we get the cheaper they get.

Only comes in 2 mixed box options though. more details to follow

[Johnny Canuck]

Worst group buy not organised by Mega, ever.

[rubin]

I have another source. And this guy guarantees them.

2 mixed boxes. Price comes into about $5.50 per tube incl. delivery. And I gets cheaper the more we get.

[backintheswing]

JAT, but why not look at ordering a massive bulk lot of sqwincher quick stix?

+1 on the sqwincher. I get it in the 2l cordial bottle size and in the quick stix. Not sure how much it is though, as I get it through work.

[Golfnut]

I'm still keen for the nunns tabs rubin .

[rubin]

Prob be best to start a new thread. Cause im lost as to who does or doesnt want them now

[Golfnut]
