George Monnat Jr Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So I just got the email quoted below. It looks like anyone can still join. Do we just order individually now? I've got the "Hi GEORGE R MONNAT JR, (Reef Club Group Buy)" tag on my account. Hi everyone, Welcome to the BulkReefSupply.com group buy. We do our group buys differently than other sites so be sure to take a few seconds to read over the following information before logging in to www.bulkreefsupply.com to make your purchase. You must have an account with us to get group buy prices. If you don't have an account as of this email simply create an account on www.BulkReefSupply.com and send an email to [email protected]. Your account will be updated as soon as we receive that email. Once you login you should see your name and customer status just to the left of the search box. If it says "Hi Your Name, (Reef Club Group Buy)" you were successfully updated as part of the group buy. Login Issues: If you are a previous customer and this is your first time visiting the new site you will receive a message that says "Invalid login or password". Depending on when you originally created your account with us you may have to re-create your account with us. Please follow the following steps if you have ordered with us in the past, receive the "Invalid login or password" message, and are sure your info was entered correctly. Click the "Forgot Your Password" button. If "A new password was sent" message is displayed your account was successfully moved to the new site and you should receive an email with a temporary password. Please note that there may be a delay due to the high volume of password resets. If you don't receive the email in your inbox or spam box simply email [email protected] and ask us to create you a temporary password and update your account for the group buy. Please setup a new account and email [email protected] to have your account updated for the Group Buy. If you receive a "This email address was not found in our records" message you will need to setup a new account and send an email to [email protected] to have it updated to group buy. [*]The majority of products are discounted. However, some manufacturer's require us to honor MAP pricing. Those items are already discounted to their maximum and there is no further group buy discount. [*]Item Availability: As we are unable to guarantee availability of all items, we cannot backorder any items that are out of stock during the group buy. [*]Canadian Orders: As we send one large freight shipment to Canada every Friday, the order cutoff time for same week shipment is Thursday, 3:30 PM Central Standard Time. Any order placed after the cutoff will not be shipped until the next Friday. [*]If someone missed the original signup: they are free to sign up at any time before the group buy ends. [*]Preferred Customer Pricing: Each participant receives automatic and permanent Preferred Pricing for future orders, which is generally between retail and group buy prices. This upgrade will automatically happen at the end of your group buy week and is only available for participants who signed up for the group buy. [*]Your group buy is open from: 5/15-5/21 [*]Questions? Email [email protected] Enjoy your www.BulkReefSupply.com Group Buy savings!

FarmerTy Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 George, if I understand it right, the group buy allows us all to get special pricing. The limits for free shipping still apply though as we will need to reach $175 to get free shipping. We are basically on our own to order now but if we group into small subgroups that add up enough for the $175, then we can get free shipping. For instance, Meteorflower, George, and I combine our order and it adds up to more than $175, we will get free shipping. We would just elect to ship to Meteorflowers place (central to George and I) and George and I would pay Meteorflower directly and Meteorflower would order and ship to his/her place. George and I would then arrange to pickup from Meteorflower. So, since I spent all that time putting together the hypothetical situation, George, Meteorshower, want to combine and see if we hit $175 since we're all up north? I am happy with it being shipped to either person's house or my own, wasn't trying to volunteer you Metershower, just for example purposes. :-) I have $60 of stuff I'm ordering so we'll just need $115 more.

I would be down for that and could place the order. My order is just shy of 60. I live in Round Rock but work south and usually take the train from Howard station so I would be willing to meet there around 6 the day following the delivery or somewhere in the area.

Mine is about $45. I have no problem combining orders to reduce S&H costs and meeting later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorflower Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Mine will only be about $20, but I'm happy to combine with someone. I live in North Central Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorflower Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 However, since I don't have a paypal account and this is my first order, I think I'd prefer it if someone else did the order for the northies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm happy with 10gReef putting in the order for us northies if everyone else is. Between Meteorflower, George, and 10gReef, we should have the roughly $185 between us four. If everyone else is down, then let's do this. 10gReef, I'm going to PM with my order. Just let me know your paypal addy or if you want me to pay cash. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If it's not to late, I'd like to jump on the north order. I live in Gtown (west side of 35 near 2243/Parmer) but work down by the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I folks - I have been very busy so I just need to write this and dash - till later. I am happy to place an order that could be picked up at my house (near the Lowes in Leander) or with a little luck I could meet you at Highland lanes, or along the 183 corridor. If they are not posted could "10g" post a list of all the people who signed up so we know who we might partner with. I probably will not be ordering that much so if you want to 'buddy' with mean you probably will have to split s&h. This thread is already getting too be long (and repetitious) so please PM me about da Buddy system. I can order as soon as you like. Unlike live orders they do not get here overnite or even close. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill B Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Rats - Just a helpful suggestion to anyone who is going to organize a group BRS buy in the future. It would be very helpful if once the group buy is submitted you post a list THEN of the people in the buy, so they can figure out who they might buddy with.

sifuentes31 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Your right Bill. I live in Leander also just down the street from you i think. Would have been better. I spent about $90 on what i purchased. Next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
