Just got off the phone with their factory in Michigan

1) Orders MUST be in case-quantities of 12
2) Unit price is US$4.00 plus shipping (they do take credit cards)
3) FedEx seems to be their preferred US shipper; don't know about outside U.S.
4) They are "scrambling" to produce more inventory as US FIRST didn't give them advance warning that over 1,000 high schools would be descending on them to order this week.
5) Smaller orders can be done via their web site

Therefore, be patient with the company.......

hey folks at FIRST......any way to help facilitate purchase and shipments for teams outside the U.S?

Everyone please hold on for more info regarding the Poof/Slinky ball availability to be released in the next 24 hours. Hopefully, some good news is coming.

p.s. FIRST did indeed notify the manufacturer to expect a massive influx of orders in the beginning of January. Their response was "OK, sure." Then 800 orders arrived over this past weekend...
