Sascha D. Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Due to popular demand, another Reefs2Go Group Buy is going to be made! As a service to the club, I am willing to put the group buy together so that we get the 10% off, but I cannot accept shipping. If you can/will accept the shipment, please say so in this thread along with your location. Hopefully we can find something central to everyone. Date for the order is undetermined at this time. Please post in this thread if you want to join the group order and PM me the following: Your full name The items you wish to purchase Your cell number or contact number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 There's a few things I want. I could possibly accept the shipment at my office but I'm in South Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha D. Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 5 order have been received, totaling enough to qualify for free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvickery2 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Any idea what date we want to aim for delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 The order is ready to be sent in at any time. We're high enough to qualify for free shipping. I guess it depends on who will accept the order and when. Also, they won't schedule shipment until the whole order has been paid for. Reefs2Go has not sent me a reply regarding the group order.

rvickery2 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm available to accept the order Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week. That should give us enough time to order, pay, and have them ship Monday of next week. I know that it takes them a couple of days from order to ship. I can also meet someone Central to deliver the orders up north for the others. Let me know if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) To receive a shipment for next tuesday, we would have to get the order in by Thursday this week. Because they are so hard to get a hold of, it probabily isn't likely to have everyone paid for by tomorrow. So far I have been unsuccessful in getting a hold of them to submit the order. If anyone else has anything they would like to order, please contact me to add your items. New members cannot be added to the group buy once it's submitted, but existing members can add items. Weird, I know, but that's their policy for some reason. Edited September 25, 2013 by Sascha D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 So for the group buy we pay you or is there a group pay on Reef2go? Would like to get in on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 All members of the group buy call in to R2G and pay for their portion of the order separately. Once all orders are paid for, then they schedule shipping. They're pretty hard to get on the phone and it takes a day or two to get an answer to your email. During the last group buy members had to make at least five attempts each to pay for their order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ok but i get paid friday. I have ordered from there before so hopefully i can make my purchase on the friday. So do i say its an ARC group buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ok but i get paid friday. I have ordered from there before so hopefully i can make my purchase on the friday. So do i say its an ARC group buy? The group buy hasn't been put in yet. First I need to know what you want. By the time we enter the group buy, it will be too late to call and try and get in.

Sascha D. Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well I have some bad news for everyone. Overnight many of the prices have changed on the Reefs2Go site. I have contacted them and they said they cannot honor yesterday's prices even if we order today. I didn't check them all but all of mine have gone up. Most notably: Green Chromis have gone from $1.99 to $4.00 Mandary Goby went up to $14.99 from $12.99 White Pom Pom Xenia went from $9.99 to $33.00 Florida Ricordia from $2.99 to $8.99 Emerald Crab from $8.99 to $10.00 All of the hermit crabs and snails went up by around $0.50 Tricolor Orange Ricordea from $9.99 to $20.00 Sexy Shrimp from $15.99 to $18.00 Please check the items you want again and make sure they are still the price you want to pay. This change will likely cause me to drop out of the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sorry I'm out, I wanted 15 chromis, at 2=30, at 4=60 I would just go here locally and get them they're the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Probably due to their new live guarantee policy, and also now they do ship for free with orders above $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfishy76 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 One of my items went up more than twice the price it was yesterday. It's sad that they wouldn't honor the prices since we have proof of us trying to set this order up before now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 My order was $50, the new prices double all my items, so now it's $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfishy76 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 So, do we think this buy will happen? It seems like we're all dropping like flies due to the price increases. If there is not enough interest anymore, I'll go ahead and place my order on my own. Just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I can definitely tell you they're going to have problems charging $4 for those chromis, for their size $2 is ok, for $4 the one's in the LFS are 2 to 3 times the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Everything I had wanted doubled in price except for two frags on sale. My order has dropped down to like $4.99. I'll check without everyone else and see if they still want to order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvickery2 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm out. I bought locally for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifuentes31 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm still in if everyone else is. If not we can wait another week to see if the prices go down. I'm in no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
