Belgium Grouped Order of Laptops
Intro Belgium Grouped Order of Laptops
A number of conditions have to come together:
- It must be found out what is a minimum order OLPC will accept at what cost price and shipping conditions. SvenAERTS thinks he found the answer:
- Minimum Order: the group order is minimum one 40 foot container, containing 6.000 XO laptops
- Cost price
- Shipping conditions: OLPC ships FOB Taiwan where the XO's are assembled.
- An organisation must be found that
- takes final responsability,
- the initiative to write the conditions for the order, e.g. where the container will be sent to and where the people can come collect their XO. Shipping companies who own the container that will be used to ship the 6.000 XO's, allow the container to stay for about 4 days on 1 site, where you can allow people to come collect their XO. During these 4 days, the group makes sure someone is on site to allow people to come collect their XO.
- People must list the number of XO's they want to order and their contact details
- Once the number of 6.000 candidate buyers is attaigned, the group will take the initiative to open an bank account number to gather all the money from the candidate buyers. The payment details serve as signature.
- The request for an order is sent to OLPC and after approval the money is transferred. If the order is not honored by OLPC, the organisation will communicate this to the candidate buyers and eventually return their money or look to fulfill the additional conditions imposed by OLPC.
