ReefReady.net Group Buy Anyone?

[princer7]

I placed an order with Matt at http://reefready.net and it will ship out next week. Please let me know if you would like to participate in a group buy. I work in Central Austin off 360 near 2222 and live in South Austin. I would like to have all the details worked out by Sunday evening at the latest.


Here is what I have ordered:


Tyree AE War Coral
Palmers Blue Mille
Oregon Tort

[princer7]

Here is a little more info about the Group Buy from Matt at ReefReady:

I want to help to make this as easy for you as possible so rather than have you be the middle man (woman) and collect money then send it to me, it would be easier if each person just contacted me direct. Just let them know that they have to identify themselves as members of MAAST. I will also talk to you when people write to me so that you know what is going on. ....

I can tell you this ahead of time so you can get some interest. Discounts will start at around 15% on non sale items. I can also do this for drygoods (I really only sell Tunze stuff and super glue gel). I might be able to discount individual orders more based on what they are ordering. ....

I will label each bag that I send so it will be easy to separate who gets what. I will even label which freebies go to who so you don't have to do anything. Anything else I can do to help, just let me know. Thanks.

I sent him an email about a Tunze :D

Sent Matt an email to find out details on glue. I'm out! Also I am interested in getting a couple of living things. PS. Thanks for holding up the order for us!

[cpreefguy]

I still have not heard back from him...

[princer7]

It took a day or 2 for a reply on my original order. He may be a little slow on email. Hopefully he responds soon Sean.

[stoneroller]

Got an email from Matt about the glue. To quote:

"I just posted the glue on the site. I also have 8 oz jars as well. They run $29.99. Let me know which one you are interested in. "

1 oz for 5.49

[cpreefguy]

He replied to me, but it looks like he would just be shipping to me directly so I guess it's not part of the group order...

[princer7]

Sean, did you mention MAAST when you emailed him?

[cpreefguy]

Yeah, he said he would still give me the discount as part of the group order, but it would be a few weeks before he had the pump. Pretty cool considering I plan on ordering the 6101 and single controller (about $63 off!!!)

So thanks!!!!

i sent him a email on what i would like.

[princer7]

Anyone else wanting to participate in the group buy? Shipping is going to be free and there should be a 15% discount on non-sale items. I think Matt will also be throwing in some freebies too. :) There is some pretty nice stuff on their website.

[princer7]

I am waiting to hear back from Matt about shipping. Not sure if they will ship tomorrow or next week. Everyone's orders have been finalized and paid for.

[princer7]

The corals will ship this coming week. Which day for delivery would work best for everyone. I have no preference.

[stoneroller]

Sent you a PM, missed the post. FRIDAY for me!!

[princer7]

I sent an email to Matt at Reefready for delivery on Friday 03/07/08. If you have held back on placing your order and would still like to participate, there may still be time.

[addboy]

I am trying to get some Zoas and Palys. So,...he won't answer the phone,I emailed him that I was with MAAST, but did not place an order...should I just put in the order, pay him and get them from you (princer7)...or...??? Some ph.#s would be most helpful...Maybe just a phone call.

Thanks,

so if we tell him that we are with masst is the shipping free? they have a lot of really nice stuff but i know alot of times shipping is way expensive

[princer7]

With the group order, everything will be shipped to my address. You would be paying Matt at ReefReady directly. There would be a 15% discount on most items as part of the group order and he will also be throwing in some feebies.

If you are wanting to do an order on your own, shipping was free for me as I was spending $225 with him.

[princer7]

Ok. The group order will be here Friday of this week - 03/04/08. I plan on taking off work at @ 1:00. They will be sent FedEx and should arrive to my work by then (if not then I'll camp out until they arrive). I work off N. Capital of Texas Hwy (Hwy 360) not too far from 2222 and the bridge. Please post your final order and pickup/delivery plans so I can keep everything straight. :) My PM box is almost full and I do not want to miss something.

[cavipower1]

well i wonder how much shipping would be for about 110 dollars worth of stuff. i live to far away to be able to do any group buys with yall lol, hopefully everything goes good with ur buy!

[princer7]

I have confirmation the group buy has shipped via FedEx and will be here on Friday. My cell phone for contact is 512*785*6989. I will be getting off work early to get everything settled out.

[stoneroller]

I'd like to come by just as soon as you get to south Austin with the critters.

[cpreefguy]

Thanks again for doing this, I saved like $75! :D

I am sorry you did not hear back from him. I know he went to the Coral Farmers Market and had a lot of catching up to do. The SPS looks really good.

Cool! Nice freebies. This will be my third "armor of god" (Central Texas, East Coast, and West Coast). It'll be interesting to see the variations.
