+Mitch Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 since each individual gets their order shipped directly to them, that is a no. BRS did suggest if there are individuals near each other that we could combine that way and reduce on shipping costs - it just has to be noted accordingly in the respective order(s). so i'm happy to share shipping... if anyone wants to do this, please add your general location by your name below and we'll see what potential arrangements come about: 1) rosslonghorns 2) Gonzobob 3) Mitch - NW Austin (Oak Knoll & 183) 4) Manhorsedog 5) chrisfowler99 6) Eckreef 7) Zarathustra 2 8) Bmwaaron 9) LiLS 10) Mhart032 11) princer7 12) Iplantz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 reminder to BRS's approach to group buy: "Because everyone gets the lowest price no matter how much they order it removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payment, distribute the order and try to calculate each person's share of the shipping cost."

+Mitch Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Again, my understanding is that individuals still make separate orders, but provide a note stating w/ whom their shipment will be sent with/to. Let me reconfirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Ignore what i wrote earlier about combining orders... here is what BRS just wrote me: "I will address your question in the "Group Buy has Started" email sent to everyone here shortly.But, in short, members who are combining orders in such a way as you described will have to do it on their end. In the example you described below you, Mitch, would place an order and include Michaels Aqualifter in that order. Mitch would then collect payment from Michael for said Aqualifter. Accounts should be ready to go in about 45 minutes or less. " vwmike - let me know if you still want to piggyback on my order. Mhart032, Zarathustra2, and LiLS - you guys work things out, or any of you are welcome to piggyback on my order as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I just received the following from BRS, so group buy is now officially open! Read the note about combining orders. I've got vwmike piggybacking on my order, so if anyone else is interested, please pm w/ your order info before 8pm tonight. From: "Duneman, Andrew" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 12:06:19 PM Subject: BulkReefSupply.com Group Buy Hello Everyone! Welcome to the BulkReefSupply.com group buy. Everyone who has signed up, as of this email, has had their account updated with access to the 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. Some folks from the Austin Reef Club were wondering if they could combine their order with another member to save on shipping costs. The answer is yes, but you'll have to do it on your own. Simply place one order for you and your friend and split/collect payment on your end. 1. 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. 2. Once you login only group buy prices will display. To check discounts open the site in a separate window and make sure that you are not logged in. 3. 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. 4. If someone missed the original signup: they are free to sign up at any time before the group buy ends. 5. 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. 6. Your group buy is open from: August 11 to 17 7. Questions? Email [email protected] Enjoy your www.BulkReefSupply.com Group Buy savings!

chrisfowler99 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I got the email as well, but I'm not seeing any sort of reduced pricing. I've got the 5 Stage RO/DI Replacement Filter Kit in my cart and it's showing $31.99 and two 3/4" ABS Bulkheads that are showing $4.49... Yes, I'm logged in. Anyone else showing discounted pricing? And if you are on other items, can you verify the price on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart032 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have noticed that some items were not discounted like the reefkeeper stuff. but i noticed that most items are the lowest price. normal it will say 34.99-44.99 and the 44.99 will be removed.. so its just 34.99.. know what i mean?

chrisfowler99 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Can you give me an example of the ones your seeing discounted? So I can verify it on my end... The RO/DI system says 24.99-31.99, and I got the $31.99 price The bulkheads say $3.99-$4.99 and I got $4.49 for the 2-10 price, which is the normal 2-10 price... It's not a huge amount of money, but I'm just not seeing a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
