+KimP Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 HorseRUs and I are going in together on a group buy from reefcleaners.org and thought we'd see if anyone else wants to jump in on it. For now we're only ordering macros that can be shipped priority and have already met the minimum for free priority shipping. Some CUC's need to be mailed express and that's $28, or if the order total is over $175 then it's free. Anyone interested? Quote
Hamp Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 i would be interested in some cuc if we can get the free shipping. Quote
wa1tx Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I am interested. Where would pick up be? Quote
+KimP Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 I don't care whether the box gets shipped here or to someone else's house. I'm pretty far south, off of Slaughter, but can also meet more central. I will let you guys know when I hear back from reefcleaners about the group order. I'm not sure if we'll get enough for the free overnight shipping. I don't have a problem splitting it though, and if we need to get overnight shipping then there's definitely more I'd like to add to my order. Quote
+KimP Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Well I just learned the minimum for free shipping for group buys is $200. Quote
+KimP Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Instead of doing a big official group buy (unless a bunch of people are suddenly interested), anyone who would like to order a few things with me and possibly split the shipping, just let me know and you can pay me on pick up. I'd like to order within a week or so. Quote
FarmerTy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I might be interested in 3 stalks of red gracilaria and 25 nassarius snails. About $30 of stuff. Just depends on when you're ordering since I'll be out of town starting this Saturday for 2 weeks. I'll check back on this post to see timing. Thanks for putting this together. -Ty Quote
mFrame Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd be in for some CUC in a group buy. Quote
jestep Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'm in for about $30. Just let me know how we need to go about ordering. Also, we need to make sure the temp is acceptable for shipping. Even if it's shipped overnight, we don't want the package getting the cold that most of the country has been in the past few weeks. Quote
wa1tx Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I am in for $35 if doing overnight and $10 if not doing overnight. I am happy to split cost of shipping as well. I work William Cannon and Southwest Pkwy and live in Round Rock. Pick up anywhere in between the two is fine with me. Thanks WA Quote
+etannert Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'm probably in, but I won't be able to figure out what all I want until Sunday as I have to go to a convention starting tonight. Quote
+o0zarkawater Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I could spend $20 or so as long as there is a pickup Central / North. Quote
+KimP Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 It sounds like there's quite a bit of interest in this, so I'm going to go ahead and set up a group order through reefcleaners. I can certainly meet people at a central location but I'm also totally open to having the box shipped to someone's house that lives central. I'm thinking we should close the order this coming up Monday and have it shipped to arrive Wed (depending on how they handle this w/a group order) The weather looks great for next week...for now I'll update when I know more! Thanks everyone! Quote
+o0zarkawater Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Also make sure you use promo code 'austinreefclub' for an additional discount. Quote
+KimP Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 I just heard back from them and they're not doing group orders at this time :/ boo! I asked him if they're still open for business and we can just stick with the original plan and combine into one order. I'll just have to keep track of everything myself, but no big deal. Hopefully that'll be fine and I'll post as soon as I know... Quote
+o0zarkawater Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Lame! Lets split up some bulk buys then! Quote
Solaria Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'd like to jump in on this too -- I can spend $10 on a CUC. I live Central and work downtown -- willing to pickup anywhere Quote
+dapettit Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I just heard back from them and they're not doing group orders at this time :/ boo!

Hopefully that'll be fine and I'll post as soon as I know... That's funny, did you check this page on there website: Group Buys Dave- Quote
+KimP Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Yes, that's where I filled out the form and started emailing back and fourth with John. He said our timing was interesting because just yesterday they had decided to stop doing group buys while they rethink the process. Quote
+KimP Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Oh, forgot to add that he also said it was still fine to put orders in, just not "group orders" where they split up everyone's orders themselves, give a discount, handle all the separate payments etc. At first I was worried they weren't currently open for business!

+KimP Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 If you'd like to get in on the order, just post here exactly what you want and the total or PM me by Monday the 14th at noon and I'll order shortly after that. The weather looks good for shipping and I'm guessing the box would ship either Tue or Wed for overnight delivery. I'm fine with cash on pickup or paypal. Thanks! Quote
