if we placed an order, are we supposed to list the order number in this thread? I see a bunch of people doing that and just wasn't sure if that was necessary for some sort of discount to be applied

It's optional. Just something that is done to have an idea how many have participated until the dust settles and official numbers are tabulated.

Nope, not required but just something we do to show our support.

I'm not seeing any pictures of box art. This thread needs more box art!
Box art takes longer.
I don't request it because I don't have any ideas! And I'm so happy with the one time I did request something years ago, "Moe Syzlak brandishing a crowbar in a dark alley."

Can we take a moment to appreciate that HJE (and shippers) have somehow been able to deliver some members orders, before the event was even complete?!?!?
Thanks for all you do guys!

Web site is still taking Epstein Day discount codes at 10:00 PM local time (midnight in KCMO). Decoder ring was the best discount as only one code can be used, apparently. This year hurt: Three orders, including the midnight order for the needle nose Eagle Grips, for $900. Ouch. Order ##6567 (2 July), 6614 (Malco) (4 July), and 6939 (8 July). Between the 400 orders of this past week and asking for box art for the first time, I know they will not be here in time for my 67th on Saturday.
Cheers

That was good, clean fun! And nice to see so much family involved. MegaloBox hardware store this isn't.

Happy I made it to the semi finals of the Wera raffle! A little disappointed in my tanks unwillingness to even move an inch in the semi finals though. Thanks for doing this Rori I really enjoyed it.

My order arrived today! Lots of odds and ends to fill various needs in the house and the shop.
We've got two Grayvik hammers destined for the basement toolbox. A flex spout oiler for the milling machine. Every size of Vessel 1/4" impact bit adapters. Also some 6" impact socket adapters from Alfa Tools. A couple of dental picks and a pair of locking tweezers for finer work tasks. I have a laser distance finder, but often I prefer a tape measure so I got one of the NOS Lufkin tapes. And for a whopping $1, how could I pass up the GC Tool duplex alignment screwdriver! Finally, I got a 100 mm grooved rule for my PEC squares, and a it appears they tossed in a (hard to see in this photo due to reflections) 6" scale as an Epstein's day bonus!
The only thing missing is my pair of needle nose Malcos - one of you guys here must have gotten them in your order by mistake. Feel free to send them to me at your earliest convenience

Shipped Saturday. 5 days is pretty good to Hawaii… Fun stuff packed perfectly. My first metric feeler gauges. The Shroeder made Craftsman ratcheting screwdriver is marked WF. Subcontract I guess? The new store front works very well with shipping notifications. Good job with the changeover HJE. From the videos, it seems no one was permanently injured implementing the new website, but I’m sure there were moments.

They really need to pick some fixed day to do this each year so we dont forget.
Maybe with some sort of elaborate notification at night as a reminder to get your order in.They really need to pick some fixed day to do this each year so we dont forget.

Top five most popular items:Do we have a roll up for Epstein Day 2024?
Total number of orders? most popular item (other than the 31 pairs of long nose eagle grips)?
Inquiring minds want to know
1. Bomb Tethers
2. Lufkin "Mezurall" Chrome Clad Tape Measure
3. USA Stainless Steel Double End Dental Pick
4. LP7WC Malco Eagle Grip
5. NOS Jorgensen Wood Handle
Total orders is a little sketchy but I would put it right around 225. Probably a little over.
Shopify doesn't let me breakdown orders by sales group for some reason but here's the graph of the week so you can see the bumps:
