Reeftopia SA order *ARRIVED FINALLY*

[FSU]

Cking interest?

[Sherri]

Definitely interested - need snails badly...

[jrsatx20]

should be able to put some money in.

[MKCindy]

I'm interested too.

[Beverly]

I would be in for some stuff. I work in UC so this would be ideal 4 me.

[FSU]

Seems like we have enough interest. I don't mind being the one to order and what not, however, I would require cash up front.

[J Use]

I'm in

[tony]

i could probly add to the order as well

[apedroza]

When would you place the order??? I'll be out next week.

[erebus]

I will probably order a couple of things

[Sherri]

Seems like we have enough interest. I don't mind being the one to order and what not, however, I would require cash up front.

Would always have payment up front when doing a group order...:bigsmile: Would suggest not ordering until all have paid...:wink_smile:

[Sherri]

www.reeftopia.com (http://www.reeftopia.com)

I would be happy to split 100 turbos with someone...(100 @ $48) 50 for $24!!

Need Sm Blue hermits also - 24 for $15 or will split (100 for $36)

LMK

[georgeortiz]

Sherri,
I can split that with you if you like. I am running low as well. When will the order be placed?

[ismvel]

Rick, count me in....i'll take a look at the website and shoot you over what I need and pay you on Friday when I come over to help with plumbing....

[FSU]

Maelv, I can split both turbos and hermits or either or. I was going to order the 100 hermits, but only want half. We can place the order whenever everyone is ready. If it ends up taking people to long, then maybe if they wouldn't mind, we can just do another order at a later date!?

[erebus]

If george splits with sherri, I will split with you FSU.

I need:

50 turbos $24
50 hermits $18
4 emeralds $20


Total: $62

[FSU]

So we want to try for this weekend to get order and money together or is that too quick?

[erebus]

sounds good to me

[engwife36]

Rick, got my reeftopia order in today and like always everything was top notch. I was very pleased with the size and amount shipped.

[Sherri]

Thanks George....hermits also?

FSU - As soon as we get the orders sorted out & totals...I can PayPal you along with the service charge to cover my part if you like...

50 Turbos @ $24.00
50 Hermits @ $18.00

Total: $42.00 (Remember free shipping on orders over $120!)

[apedroza]

Guess I'll get on the next one or start one when I get back.

[georgeortiz]

Sherri, Yes, Hermits too.
Guys just let me know who to paypal the money to and I will send my 42 bucks.

[captexas]

I might be interested if I can paypal you the money. Also depending on when the order will be in so I know if I'll be around.

[Sherri]

can PayPal whenever ready...:bigsmile:

BTW - you can tell Reeftopia how you want things separated & they will do it - no prob....really makes it easier to deal with when they come in - no counting out snails or hermits!!

[FSU]

Sorry, am caught up in classes and for tomorrow night too. I will get it all together this weekend guys! Thx

[chuck4824]

If you get the order together I would like to order 100 turbo's, got a big algae problem. If you PM me the address for paypal I will send payment that way, or else I work Sunday at NE Methodist Hosp in Live Oak and I can drop by before or after 11 a - 7p shift to leave money. Just tell me the adddress.

Appreciate it.

Well, I stated before that for me to do the order, I wanted to do cash. That way, people would be paid for and I would have their list, to make a master list for the order. Not sure where everyone is wanting to use paypal from, but Paypal is just something I don't want to deal with. Paypal has fees, takes time to transfer, and is just a pain IMO for all these people that want to order. So if paypal is a must, then we should get someone that doesn't mind dealing with it to do the order. I don't mind doing the order, but I don't want to do paypal. If paypal is someones way of ensuring themselves, then maybe we should get a local BOD member to order. Otherwise, if someone esle wants to step up for a paypal order, let me know, as I will be dropping off cash for my part.

[erebus]

Are you going Sat? If so I can pay then

[chuck4824]

Just PM me your address and I'll drop off the cash on Sunday which ever time works for you. I'm also over on that side of town on Saturday and NE Baptist from 9-1 so I could come over after that if it works better for you. Forgot about working on Saturday.

Thanks for you efforts.

David

[captexas]

Paypal has always been an easy way for people to transfer money to each other for online things like group buys. By using it, people don't have to drive across town just to drop off money to you. It takes 2 minutes to transfer funds from a bank account to yours. That's all. You can even pay your MAAST membership online using paypal. And they don't charge fees unless you use credit cards. If someone wants to use their credit card, you usually make them include extra for the fees.

If you don't like Paypal, that's fine, I'll respect that. But it will prevent some people like myself from joining in on this order. Maybe someone else can put together another order later on that I will join.

[Sherri]

I brought up PayPal myself as to take off the burden on you FSU...no prob..a lot of people don't deal with PayPal...just LMK where & when I can get cash to you & I will....:)

[FSU]

If Paypal doesn't charge fees for paying without using a credit card, then I am mistaken, as I haven't used paypal for a while.

My paypal address is rickstull1@yahoo.com What I will do then, is accept payments until Sunday with your orders. ANY PAYMENTS AFTER SUNDAY WILL BE RETURNED!! It will then take a few days to transfer into my account, unless by chance Reeftopia takes paypal. So, I guess get your orders to me via paypal for those that wanted to and cash for any others. As soon as it transfers to my account, I will get the order in. Note this takes from 3-5 days. Plz include your name, your EXACT order and the price for the order. If people are splitting packages, plz work that out before hand so it doesn't get to confusing on my end. Any questions plz pm me or you may call if you prefer. For pick up reference later on, I live in Universal City, right off of 1604 a couple exits down from the forum.

OK David.

Anyone want to split some turbos?

[chuck4824]

If no one wants to split a Turbo order with you I will split mine with you. Probably getting more than I need and the hermits will help out in their place.

David

[Darth-Tater]

When doing a group ordrer with reeftopia they like you to use their spreadsheet. They will verify the order and ship it out with everything seperated. I will ship FSU their spreadsheet.

Tater

can't figure how to attach xls file

[Sherri]

georgeortiz....where are u? :bigsmile:

[erebus]

Thanks David! Sending payment now

[FSU]

got everyone that us listed so far. Still waiting on Georgeortiz. I also just got a paypal payment, so the order will not go out on Monday as planned, but after it transfers. Anyone else that wants in, plz contact me today, as after today I WILL NOT change the order or accept anymore payments.

Thx, Rick

[FSU]

Plz contact me BEFORE you paypal.

Rick

[FSU]

Ok, I am closing the order for anymore payments. The ONLY person I will still accept payment/order from is georgeortiz, since he is supposed to be splitting with Sherri. I will wait a couple days on him to what is going on. In the meantime, it looks as if I will order hopefully on Thursday.....depending on paypal and how georgeortiz pays, it may not be until Monday the 17th.

Thx, Rick

[Sherri]

I've sent georgeortiz messages...we'll see if he answers...hopefully tomorrow (Monday)

[Sherri]

Rec'd email from george this am...he pulled out of order...sooooo, unless someone else wants to split the turbos & hermits, I'll have to pass...?

[Sherri]

Anyone want to split 100 turbos & 100 sm blue legged hermits???? I need some badly - it would run you $42.00 for 50 turbos & 50 hermits...........???

Just spoke with them and they have emailed me the spreadsheet! TY for the heads up!

Rick

[erebus]

Ok I sent pms to FSU, and Sherri. Everything should be good to go. Sherri I will split with you.

[FSU]

ok, updated list for the last time, all orders are in and paid for. Waiting on a reply from Reeftopia about shipping and a transfer from paypal. Aiming for Thursday or Friday, at latest will be Monday for Tuesday delivery. Looks like we also will get a 10% discount for ordering over $200. I will wait until everyone picks up and then figure the difference. Thx, Rick

fixed!

[FSU]

Just a quick heads up. I am being sent a new cell phone, so it may not be in for a couple days. You can reach me at 210-771-0196 (wife's cell which I will have on me) if anyone needs me.

Thx, Rick

[FSU]

Ok, a couple people won't be able to pick up orders on Friday, and I also have a small conflict with school and my classes. So, I will put order in first thing on Monday and I am guessing we should receive order on Wednesday. Hope this doesn't cause any conflicts.

Rick

[Sherri]

Thanks & appreciate the hassle!

[FSU]

order has been placed and looks like it should be here on Wednesday, assuming no problems with it. I will reply here with any problems or if something is out of stock.

thx Rick

[FSU]

This will also be my last time doing a group order from reeftopia. I may be part of one, but will not be the one to order and pay them. The lady I have been dealing with is being a total Bit**, acts like I am an idiot, then completely changes what she told me to do.

Sometimes prices aren't always better than customer service. You think she'd be a bit nicer and more wanting to help along with someone doing a group order for the first time.

[FSU]

OK, got confirmation of order. Will be here Wednesday!

So sorry about your troubles with the company!! You have been getting it from all sides on this one. Thanks for going to the hassel.

David

[Sherri]

Sorry this has been a hassle...I've always had Reeftopia be very helpful...guess there's always one in a group...and you got her. Really sorry!

Will be in contact with you tomorrow...

[FSU]

Will be in contact with you tomorrow...

Maybe it's just me and my luck on catching people on "bad" days! lol
Or maybe it's just me! :P

[erebus]

Thanks again Rick! Sorry for all the problems!

[FSU]

Thanks again Rick! Sorry for all the problems!


no problem, just be sure to pick up or I have no choice but to stock my tank a little more! :P

[FSU]

6734-1442-0436 tracking number through fedex in case anyone wants it

[FSU]

evidently Fedex is behind because of some weather in Memphis. It's on the truck to be delivered, but they can't tell me when, even though it was supposed to be here before 10:30.

[FSU]

still waiting! :at_wits_end:

[chuck4824]

Well, what should we expect. EVERYTHING else about this order has biven you a hard time. Hang on it will be all over in just a few hours!

David

[FSU]

PACKAGE arrived! Don't know if theres anything DOA yet! :nailbiting:

[Bill S]

Just read the update on this thread. Now folks know why, for a while around here, it was "...Bill doesn't do group orders...". It's a total pain in the tail, and thankless. So, from someone who DIDN'T participate in this order, "Thanks for putting this together!".
