Inland Reef Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi all A few people wanted to get an AquaSD order going, so I'll take the initiative and kick it off. The group order will begin today, and will run through the close of business (California time) Tuesday 8/16. Our combined order will ship the next day (Wed 8/17) & arrive at my house Thursday 8/18. I'll work from home that day and will be around to receive the package and people can swing by to pick up their goodies as soon as it arrives. I live in S. Austin @ Slaughter and Manchacca. I work in RR and am open to bringing something up N. the following day, but not sure you'd want your stuff sitting in a bag so long. The order is pretty simple. You peruse www.aquasd.com at your leisure, & order via the web or by calling them directly. Be sure to inform them that your order is part of the ARC group buy. At the end of the order window, they'll combine all the individual purchases and ship them in one package. Qualifying for free shipping shouldn't be a problem at all. When I talked to Will yesterday, he said that they do provide discounts for group orders. I sent him a pm asking him to clarify how it's applied, and will update the thread when I get an answer. Total purchase: $500 = 10% off order $750 = 15% $1000 = 20% Will & crew have always been very friendly and helpful, so don't hesitate to call or pm them if you have any questions or to place your order. I'm also available if you have any questions for me. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inland Reef Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just got word back from Will regarding the discount. You'll place your order, and AquaSD will hold the payment request until Sunday. They'll send it out Sun or Monday, when they have a good idea what the discount will be, and your bill will reflect the discount. We'll easily qualify for the free shipping, so hopefully we'll also hit one of the discount price points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 do their ebay items count on this too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inland Reef Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I can't speak directly for them, and you may want to contact them to clarify; but when I've inquired about it in the past, they said that any eBay item would incur the $50 S&H fee. If you purchased eBay items, any additional store bought items ship for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crendon2003 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I may place an order the stuff I got from them last time was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inland Reef Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just placed my order. We are for sure getting free shipping. Kim hasn't put in her order yet, but with that one, we should be at the 10% discount & moving toward the 15%. The way the discount is going to work: You place your order. Will sets aside your items and waits until Monday evening to send you an invoice. The order window closes Tue at close of business Cali time, but we should have a good idea what the total order amount will be Monday evening. He'll send out invoices with the discount we qualified for. If we somehow hit the next discount rate on Tue, he can adjust the bill, or throw in extras to compensate. As KimP said, pickup is at my house, which is at Slaughter and Manchacca. I'll post on the thread as soon as the items hit my door, and your welcome to come pick them up. I'll be working from home that day and be at the house the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 As far as putting in our order, how does Will want us to do that? Besides calling, is a pm good enough? Is email better? Obviously we can't just order though the website or we have to pay right then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inland Reef Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Will said an email would be preferable over PM. [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inland Reef Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Just talked to Will at AquaSD. The group buy has qualified for Free Shipping, AND 15% off the entire order! We're actually only a few $ away from hitting the 20% off mark. If you've ever wanted something from AquaSD and didn't want to pay shipping, or the price was a little over your budget, now is the chance.

+KimP Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 That would be so awesome if we made 20% off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inland Reef Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yes it would, and we have! Everyone gets 20% off their entire order on this group buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAquaSD Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hey guys, Congrads on the 20% off!! Just wanted to pop in about Ebay items, and what we'll be able to do. I know noone likes paying shipping fees (us included!) so here's what we can do- Any items won on Ebay will ship with the group buy order (in other words, all to inland reef's house, not to separate addresses) for only $10 per person who's won items on Ebay, for any number of items. If you aren't purchasing any Ebay items, you will not be paying this, it's only for the Ebay shoppers. The $10 is a flat fee, so if you get 1,2, or 10 items, its just a onetime $10. Please make sure to pay your Ebay invoice before 4 PM Tuesday so we can make sure to get it processed through. Also, please make sure to contact me either on Ebay, or PM me on here that you'll be getting your items shipped with the GB, so I only add the $10 fee onto your Ebay invoice. Lastly, the GB discount does not apply to Ebay purchases- I wish we could offer it but after Ebay fees, no Reserves, etc, we're unable to. At the least we did want to make sure to offer you a shipping discount to say thanks for all the support we get from you folks here on ARC, so thanks again! If any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM, or just call us directly at the shop. Have a great weekend everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
