rosslonghorns Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ok guys, here is the process: In order to make life easier for those coordinating group buys, reefcleaners has developed a system for our orders. 1. Basically go to the website and order items as if you were purchasing it. 2. Once you checkout, because group buys are likely to qualify for free shipping, just tell your members to use the free shipping option "Group Buy". We will package all of their orders seperately, and mark them by the individuals name. So all you will have to do on pickup day is hand them the bags with their name on them. If for some reason your group buy does not qualify for free shipping, we will bill each of your members a pro-rata difference for the shipping costs. It will be based on total amounts of their orders. 3. Note the club or organization of the group buy in the note field during checkout. For this group buy it is: ARC Group Buy It is that simple. You will place the order yourself, pay yourself, note the above items, and then it will ship (plan to ship on Wednesday July 8th and order closes end of day Monday July 6th) to a single residence where we can arrange pickup. Also don't forget your discount, straight from reefcleaners.org, "To get 15% off your order, simply use the discount code "austinreefclub" during checkout. Thanks for allowing us to be part of this active and growing community!" On top of this, they're also offering a 4th of July special if you meet the below requirements: Buy One Get One on some of our more popular species: Florida ceriths - Buy one get one. (Limit 25) Dwarf Ceriths - Buy one get one. (Limit 100) Nassarius Snails - Buy one get one. (Limit 15) Large Nerites - Buy one get one. (Limit 30) Gracilaria - Buy One Get One Mangroves - Buy one five pack, get two. (10 mangroves for $5). Drum roll please:Discounts are allowed on top of this but The Sale ends on July 5th at 11:59pm EST. Payment must be processed at that time. Once you order, please reply to this thread with your name and total. Also please PM me your email address so I can keep a tally and communicate updates to all that has joined the order.

rosslonghorns Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 As of now, I have my address setup for the ship to location (in BUDA), but it may still be a 2 day delivery location, but John at reefcleaners is checking on this for me. If that is the case, we may have an issue because I'm sure some individuals will order critters that require one day shipment. That being the case, will also entertain offers from anyone that is home during the day to take delivery that is within a one day location. Most of Austin is one day. If you're interested, please PM me your contact information and address and I will work to get it updated on the group order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Dang, for those prices, I might need to pickup a couple of more things. What is the minimum for free shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 The minimum is $150 for express, but I believe we may get it waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 how many people do we have interested right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 It looks like three people. We can push out the delivery date to allow more individuals to join, but then we would lose the opportunity to take advantage of the buy one get one free.

Bill B Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Well, it might not get us much closer, but I could order $15 to help get to a minimum. I don't want to split any express mail postage and I definitely would prefer NOT to pick up in Buda. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'd rather nor miss out on the buy one get one either. Shipping prices has been my main concern from the get go. Also, the shipment will be sent to my home in south Austin so no need to worry about driving to buda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I can receive the shipment again if need be. I'm north and I'm happy to coordinate a drop off with a "southie". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarathustra2 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I only needed a few snails and such but added 13.68 to the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiu Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Question on the buy one get one free: If I wanted a total of 10 cerith snail, do I place an order for 5 and the other 5 are implied? Or do I place an order for 10 and get 1/2 refunded? I may be good for $10-$20 on this when I can get my question answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
