In Nicaragua we are going to have our anual Flisol event in Managua: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events/Latam/FLISOL/2018/Nicaragua/Managua

So I want to ask to please aprove swag for the event:

  • 100 x Blue LATAM 1" Smalls Buttons
  • 100 X 4"x4" Latin America Sticker Sheets
  • 50 x 2.25" Round Spanish Liberitad Button (fon Fedora users o pleople who install Fedora in Flisol)
  • 15 X 2.25" Round Fedora LATAM buttons (for contributors to the Fedora Project)
  • 50 x Lanyards

We spec around 500 attendes to the event, so I think amounts make sence.

Regards


If aproved please send the swag to Neville postal address:

@bex we are on time to get the swag for the Flisol Managua, there are alreaydi +5 but all for the Nicaragua team, do you the agree to send the swag?

trust that @searchsam and me both do not want to have spent so much time that the artwork was approved to remain without swag for Flisol.

Also a per event shipment will increase a lot the cost of the swag :money_with_wings:

this ticket is good for 2019 just change the title , in my opinion it won't arrive on time, unless you produce it locally.

Ship swag to Nicaragua is really expensive, can we consider a single shipment to Nicaragua to cur cost?

I need invoice of the products shipped in order to get a value for taxes purposes. This can be send as pdf to my email address.

Last possible arrival date:
April 17th, 2018

We need a "Comercial Invoice"

More currier services have templates like:

TNT: https://www.tnt.com/content/dam/tnt_express_media/da_dk/download_documents/documents_/online_handelsfaktura.doc

Depexturkey: http://www.dpexturkey.com/download/commercial_%20invoice.doc

Deltec-currier: http://www.deltec-courier.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/commercial-invoice.doc

Basically is a document with the sender and reciber description, with instruction of the delivery and a descriptions of goods and it value, we do not have a good experience with post service in Nicaragua, this is the reason to ask to recibe the swag with a currier service in Miami that will send the swag to Nicaragua and take care of taxes.

The swag in this ticket is the amount for Flisol only, the spreadsheet are stimate amount for this year and the beginning of next.

We need the Flisol swag, in the short time we do not have plans for others events until the F28 release party.

We need the buttons in spanish.

Opps, I think i click in the edit button and not in the repley one, this is the message I was repliying for:

bex added a new comment to an issue you are following:
``
@yn1v Can the invoice be for more swag than was shipped to you? i.e. you're getting 100 lanyards from an order of 3000. Will your tax authorities understand that?

@williamjmorenor the swag in the ticket (here) and the swag on your spreadsheet are different. Which one are you wanting?

From Spreadsheet:

Small Button (1"x1") 100
Medium Button (2.5"x2.5") 0
Big Button (3"x3") 0
Cheatcubes 80
Lanyard 100
Sticker 200
Pens 0

Also, where it matters, please specify language for buttons so I don't make silly mistakes like not knowing where people speak what :D

Any invoice will do. It can be a value declaration as the examples provided above or the actual invoice of the company producing the swag.

What it is important is that the quantities reflected on the document are consistent with the quantities shipped. It will create confusion to have a invoice for 1000 stickers and have only 250 stickers in the box shipped.

Ok. I've requested the shipment and they are going to prepare an invoice.

@yn1v there may be a request for a phone number for the ultimate recipient, you. Can you give me one in advance?

@yn1v actually, they'd like your final delivery address as well for the invoice so it doesn't get held up leaving Florida.

The people in the forwarding agency have my address on file. But I am happy to share the details with you to ensure everything run smoothly.

Can we have 50 pens? I mean:

  • 100 x Blue LATAM 1" Smalls Blue Buttons.
  • 100 X 4"x4" Latin America Sticker Sheets.
  • 50 x 2.25" Round Spanish Liberitad Button.
  • 15 X 2.25" Round Fedora LATAM buttons.
  • 50 x Lanyards
  • 50 Pens <-- This is the new item.

I'll try to get it added @williamjmorenor ... it may have already gone to packing.

Please note that Flisol in Managua is suspended because Nicaragua is under heavy public protests for reforms to the social security law.

Flisol still is suspended in Nicaragua, and the swag is still in customs because a diference in quantities versus numbers in the Invoice, as far as I know this can be solved next week, so we are planning to use part of those swag in the Fedora 28 Release Party aproved in #458 is there is not problem with that. Any one see a problem about using part of those swag in a Release Party?

Given the situation, I do not have a problem. Per direct email from @yn1v the swag is now in his hands.

I am attaching a pdf file that has the following documents.
1- Invoice number 246971 for USD 23.00 This is the payment as customs agency, for doing all the paperwork and following the inspections.
2.- Debit Note number 87990 for USD 54.56 This are the payment of import duties.
3.- Receipt 83951 Paying invoice 246971
4.- Receipt 83952 Paying Debit Note 87990

paqueteria_transexpress_20180516.pdf

The total amount is USD 77.56

Paypal still is the only option for reimbursement in Nicaragua. There is a paypal fee of 4.5% that equals to USD 3.49 I am not adding cash fees as I am fine with electronic funds.

For reimbursement USD 81.05 to neville [at] guegue [dot] net

I think it will be helpful that when a package is sent, that an digital copy of the invoice is emailed to the person, so it can be prepared to deal with customs.

Best regards
