Charas possible troubles

[SMB]

If we sell something we must send it, right Alex!
We can ask for a convention with an express transport (like UPS for example) to have a low price, but this means that we must ask also haulage expenses.

For the payment it's not easy, the credit card is too much rare in young people, I think that post office is the only way, a c.c.p. payment is accessible for all of us, right?

Yeah! I really need attention. I need everyone to know that I can write songs, so if I sing, it would not only support Charas a bit, but will also promote ME a bit more!

[Alex]

Yeah! Charas Records!!!
Ok, ok, joking.

Well, now it's time for 2 questions that really needs your answer.

Me and SMB know perfectly how money sending is possible (and cheaper) here in Italy. Because we don't want to spend 10$ to send 1, simple.
But now we need to know what's the best for all over the world, because Charas is worldwide.
And i need to organize myself for this, to proceed.

These are the questions, finally:

1) So, just imagine: if you would like to send few money (as 1-2$) in Italy, what's the best system for you?

2) And what's the best if you should also receive something "physical" (as cd, gadgets, and so on)?

for me I guess post, but I don't know what the extra costs would be to send it to italy .... or you could let people write it over to your bank account.

Luckily I live in Europe, and I have the Euro.

Sadly my parents won't allow me to send money over post.

well... gary, since u want to be heard, open up the Sound Recorder that's provided in Windows, dust, clean and shine up that good ol' mic of yours, and do your thing... cuz if you guys plan on starting a band, u'd have to meet up personally... i mean... i can also jam (heavy metal, death metal mostly, but i also play alternative hehehe) but i'm already on my last year in high school... i'll have to study real hard... HELP GUYS!!! lol... anyways, back to the topic... if i were to donate bucks to you... well... i'd personally go there myself... cuz through mail is pretty expensive... well... not THAT expensive... but still... but now, mail is the only option... and to recieve hardware? DHL, EPS... whatever... cuz that's the only way to probably get it...

i see that eshirt.it banner up there... so why not do stuff like that? provide a shirt with "logo of your choice" service? that would be a blast... but we're doing it for CHARAS.... so it must be Charas related... lol... maybe it doesnt have to be... i mean... how does Heavy and Death Metal connect with RM2K? lol...

hehehe can't think of anything else to say... sorry marn!

Ok, guys.
I thought, now time to explain you how i see this stuff.
But let's go over and give a look here:
http://charas-project.net/support.php

This is the test page i'm preparing.

The base idea is to create a special "resource area", where to place every kind of original work made originally for this.
This can include games, mp3s, artworks, posters, texts... everything.
Simply as i wrote in that page, "here you'll find works created by users and donated to Charas to promote it's support".
So original works are a must.

About donations, i placed two ways: one using paypal (i'll go tomorrow to open a bank accout for that, isn't finished yet) and one for who is without credit card.
Simply i wrote my home address (please don't abuse it, eh? ), so everyone can chosse the better way for him to send something.

What do you think of this?
Do you think this can work?

here's a first gift

[Alex]

Cosmo, absolutely great.
Thanks, thanks a lot!

Ok, now... before linking the support page officially from Charas too, do you have some suggestion?
The text sounds ok to you?

If so, then time for high quality resourcing!
As i wrote there, everything is allowed, just have to be totally original.
Resources to ge there are important, really important: and that area will be a great showcase for whoever can do something more. So don't worry if you cannot do something "high" if you're still not able to do it: your time will come!
And me?
Well, I hope to find some good mic to record some better harp pieces too!

[cosmo]

the page looks good to me

and Requirements... but hey... everyone's human... =P

[Alex]

Ok, requirement correct.
For survive, will wait for Cosmo's update

[SMB]

I want to give a suggestion, I see that only few of us is writing here, in this topic, so for this important question I think it's necessary to send a message to all Charas forum's members to advise of this!

Can you do it Alex?

Now I go work to an idea for a T-Shirt that I hope you will like!

[cosmo]

ugh, I shoulda known something would ge wrong

[GaryCXJk]

Is Via as in "Via Ferro" (or something like that)? So that Via is required?
