I'm looking to put together an order soon. Anyone else interested?

We need 10 participants to qualify for discounts. I'm looking to do an order during the week of 5-24 through 5-30.

What kind of discount?

You get premium price on their stock... typically the lowest price offered while you look through their stuff.

When you buy in bulk you get a better price, but with the group buy you get the discounted price even without buying in quantity.

For example, the awesome Oceans Wonder glue (my favorite) is usually $6.99 a bottle. Each group buy participant gets the lowest price even if they only buy one item, so each bottle would be $6.30, a 10% savings.

The savings really matter if you need to stock up on more expensive items like high quality carbon or two part solutions.

If you were to get one of each of these items, your bill would drop from $88.97 to $75.90. That savings will cover a good part of the shipping.

The best thing about Bulk Reef Supply Group Orders, is the simplicity of payment and delivery.

Everyone makes their own individual payment directly to BRS, and the product will be immediately shipped directly to your address.

Any one else interested? They have great prices all the time, and the extra discount helps cover shipping costs.

I'm interested. How does it work?

I have several things I need to order from them, so let me know if this is a go. Thx.

You have to have an account with BulkReefSupply.com. Even if you order on your own, you have to set one up, so that's not a big deal.
Once we have enough participants, the group buy begins on a Tuesday and runs through the week. Starting that designated Tuesday, you can log in to place your order and make payment. As soon as you place your order, it will be shipped--you don't have to wait for the other group buy participants to place their orders. Your stuff will be sent directly to your address. So, no sending your money to someone else to pool funds for quantity discounts, and no driving across town to pick up your stuff from someone else's adress.

Couldn't be easier. :)

Here's the running list of people interested in participating. Any other takers?

Don't forget to send me your last name and the email used on your BRS account!

I'd like to send in the forms today to get this going, but I'm still waiting on a few names and email addresses. We have to have all 10 people participate. If I don't hear back from a few people soon, the order might have to be next week. I don't know the cut off time for BRS to process the forms and I can't do it from work today. Hope no one is too put out by the delay; I'm still working on it.

Thanks. :) I really want to see this happen, so please don't back out folks! I just need a few more names and emails. I'll send out some pm reminders.


This means we're delayed another week, so if anyone else wants to join in, there's still time!


Bulk Reef Supply always has great prices on necessity items, and the extra discount is nice when it's time to stock up on stuff you need to buy anyway.

Okay everyone, I’ve sent in the list of participants to Bulk Reef Supply. The group order begins tomorrow, Tuesday, May 31.

You will receive an email from BRS acknowledging that you are a participant in this group buy. (Wait for this email before placing your order!) Once BRS has everything set up and has sent out the emails, you can place your order. You will have until Monday, June 6 to place your order.

I was just adding someone to the list, and it occurred to me that today is a holiday for most people! I tried calling BRS to add another name and the office was closed... I sent an email asking if their would be any delay. I'll keep you all posted.

tebstan
Tue, 31st May 2011, 11:50 AM
The order should still begin today! BRS was closed yesterday, but they got the email this morning and let me know that they should have it all set up in the next few hours. Keep an eye out for your email so you can begin your order.

Thanks everyone, for participating!

The emails for the group buy have been sent out. If you're on the list but haven't gotten one, let me know and I'll contact the group buy coordinator at BRS.

If there is anyone else interested in joining, it isn't too late! Let me know if you want to jump in on this group order for great discounts.

I have placed my order and the group buy price was no different than the regular price... I was going to order anyway so doesn't really matter to me. I looked at prices side by side and saw no difference... Hmmm I don't know.. anyway my order is placed

LuckySingh
Thu, 2nd Jun 2011, 01:57 PM
sme of the items they say they cant gve discount like zeovit products because the manufactures wouldnt let them offer discounts.....one price for every one..
it does makes sense...

BRS is also running a Memorial Day sale this week. It looks as if some of the items are on sale at the lowest discounted price, and they are not allowing stacked discounts for group buy participants.

I'm sorry about the confusion.

I'm not sure if this is the same for all items... an email from Mr Westmark at BRS earlier this week said that we will "probably just get even better deals than usual with the memorial day sale going on at the same time." I will try to get that statement clarified, but Westmark is away at the moment, and his fill-in may not know all of the details.



All group buy participants will still qualify for Preferred Pricing in the future.


At the end of the Group Buy each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is generally between our retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us!

My order came in Monday, and I can guarantee you that I was just as excited. Mag supplement, aqualifters, kalk, test reagent (Hanna) and bulkheads. It was kinda like Christmas, only I got JUST what I wanted.
