Just follow the link to the MP3car.com store where the product is listed. They are hosting it for us. All you do is add it to your cart and checkout- done! Make sure you use paypal as your method of payment!

Volume will be controlled with the "WAV" slider only. So your frontend will need the option to choose that one as its main volume control.

Here's a link to a software that can get you around this problem if your frontend won't allow you to choose which slider its volume controls.

Yep, I suppose I should have made that more clear. Roadrunner does this as well as many others but some do not. Thanks t3!

I'm interested in the USB Bloat group buy.
Please let me know the shipment carrier that will be used to ship the item to Canada.
I'll be interested in placing the order if the shipment can be done via USPS (United States Postal Service).

Most Canadians here might agree that UPS is notorious for their hidden charges other than just customs duty. I recently paid $60 extra other than shipping for a $75 ebay item :-(

I guess this should help others (especially from Canada) as well to know the shipment options supported and approximating the landed cost.

Ok Brent got back to me last night on this, he does not use UPS for Canadian shipments, he uses his regular Australian mail carrier. He wasn't sure what his shipper does when the package arrives in Canada, but thought it got handed off to a Canadian shipper... Either way, he said he has shipped many, many units to Canada and has never had one complaint about outrageous customs chargers or shippers fees. Hope that help buddy!

The group buy is rolling along great! But we need more people! Spread the word and if you haven't placed your order yet- DO IT!

Thanks Joey for the clarification...My order is coming in soon.

Edit: Ordering 1 USB Bloat Completed

im going to order at least 3 (maybe 4 depending on my cash flow), but I cant pay till the end of the month, so please if possible keep it open til at least the 30th

If feasible, it might be a good idea to have a confirmed order counter so that everyone knows when we hit the threshold of 25.

9 orders total so far....at least 16 more to go.

I promise to keep this sale open for one month which will bring us into early July.
However please know, the sooner you order the less time you wait for your Bloat. Building will require a few weeks per 10 units and does not begin until this sale closes, so be prepared for a little wait if you are later to order.

I will post again when we hit 20.
