Thanks for All of You Joining Our Winter Cloth Shopping Tour Yesterday!

Dear Friends,

We would like to thank all of you who joined our winter cloth shopping tour yesterday.

First of all, we have to dedicate our best gratitude to our drivers yesterday. Your kind offer and generosity made this shopping tour possible.

We hope all you passengers had a great harvest yesterday and we appreciate your participation.

We appreciate the question brought up by several friends about the pricing of the fees that we collected yesterday. Here is our brief explanation as follows. When we announced this shopping tour to public two weeks ago, we had only two kind drivers confirmed their offer of drive available, and we had to think about collecting enough funding for paying car rental plus insurance and gas from passengers on basis of each car, while we were working hard to find the lowest rate of car rental. Taking the car rented yesterday for example: The total expense we paid for the car rental price for a compact car ($42.55, reserved with united.com's discount while this rate was not sold out yet) and for gas $12 was $54.55 in total. Divided by four, each of the four passenger would have to pay $13.64. This number did not include a Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS, $12.44), a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW, $25.99) nor Personal Accident Insurance/ Personal Effects Coverage ($5.50) which we would have definitely paid to rent more cars when a driver's credit card had not covered them.
We were indeed grateful that there were more generous drivers confirmed their offer of seats available for this tour.

Again, many thanks to all of you and cheers for the busy semester!
Good luck and take care!
