Have you contacted BRS with your group buy intentions?

if so, what have they says about individual payments & single address shipping?

I was under the assumption when you group buy, that all items are bought by one account and shipped to one address, then everyone pics it up?

Usually I just paypal OP the money and pick it up when it arrives.

That is 1 method, yes.

However some vendors have decided to become a little more modern in their approach & allow individuals to purchase items with their bank card directly from their website & then simply add a group buy code like "MAAST group buy for Tom" & then when the organizer informs the vendor that everyone is accounted for(made their purchases), the vendor then ships the goods to the organizers chosen address.

This method was created for those who cannot or do not wish to utilize Paypal for whatever reason.

Traditionally, yes.

just to pass some info but Elegant reef stock many of the bulk reef items such as reactors dual and single, ro/di units and also bulk media.

A lot of the stuff I've had to order he didn't have in stock and I tried ordering and never heard back. Well i did about the bulkheads i need. But it was a couple weeks after. Might as well go through BRS directly.

its easier to call and see when his brs order is coming in it sells out quickly, but he does price match so thats a plus same price you see online

[malofish]

In a GB BRS ships ea members order to ea members address. There is also free shipping over $175 and a GB discount.

Yeah. I liked stopping by anyways. Fun to window shop. But if I talk to anyone but Louis about ordering stuff. I normally never hear back about it coming in or it even being ordered. Louis is normally pretty on top of it. He did forget to call me a couple times about tech M I wanted. But I'm not complaining. He is still on top of it.

[akaewlium]

Count me in.

Sorry , been busy. The group order process has changed since I last bought from BRS. It appears that each payment and shipment is dealt with separately. We must have a minimum of 10 people and if we begin process on a Tuesday we then have until that Monday to close order before it is shipped. Everyone that participates must create an account through their website. Then email me their name and email they have on file. After the names are added to group order they can than view prices and shop away. I emailed for any other info and waiting for reply. If interested then setup account and pm me real name and email on file. I would like for as many people to jump on board so if everyone agrees I would like the order to begin next Tuesday and not this one to allow a week for people to jump in. If not then I'm ready as soon as you.

[malofish]

Count me in. I need afew brs goodies as well. Paul if ya get too busy and dont mind waiting a week i plan on paying my chartermembership and dont mind hosting. Best thing to do is get 10 commited in the group before contacting brs.

[ramsey]

If they can ship straight to my door, I'm in as well.

[malofish]

yes sir they do. Once the gb starts you log on and you can see the discounted prices. Fill yer cart and check out like normal. At checkout you will see that shipping fees have also been removed. After you have finished paying fer yer goodies they get shipped to yer doorstep.

[paul]

I don't mind hosting. I know I will get 10 to join. I have a few already. My Monday I bet we will have our ten once everyone sees how much easier the process has begun. In the past the person accepting shipment had to get everyone to meet up and at times it was a small amount of work. Now everyone receives their shipments to the door.

[malofish]

Yep! Ive hosted afew back when i was in dfwmas. So yeah, count me in:-)

[Southern Flame]

O cool imma have to check see if they have anything I need

[paul]

Ok. So far I have the people listed below as joining in. Its up to you all if you want to start the buy the moment we reach 10 people or wait until next Tuesday. if we wait until next Tuesday then the shipment wont send until the following Monday. I suggest if you are thinking of getting something then you message and join quickly. If the majority vote to begin asap then we will send request in when 10 is reached and shipment should be shipped this coming Monday. Paul, Koa25, Akaewlium, Malofish, Ramsey, Ducati996, Scutterborn and maybe Southern flame? For everyone listed don't forget to register an account with brs and then send me your real name and email you listed with brs so I can add you to group buy.

[Scutterborn]

Pm sent

[BBQHILLBILLY]

bad timing for me otherwise i would be buying carbon, gfo . . . lol

[paul]

Ramsy thanks for the info

[paul]

Still need a few

[Southern Flame]

What dates is this buy for? I wanna check make sure it lines up with my payday

[paul]

We were aiming to start this coming Tuesday and end the Monday 6 days later

[Southern Flame]

Okay thanks imma check with hubby and see what he wants to order

[paul]

Who else is going in

[malofish]

Lets see if ol' troy valentine will chime in. We had a brs chat the other day

[Fracture]

Ok if the order will start next week we will jump in for the largest 2 part they have and maybe a skimmer but our payday isn't till next Thursday

[Tempset]

We have an existing account with BRS, but we're happy to help the group buy by ordering within it.

If you order over $175 individually, shipping is automatically free.

Any idea what percentage discount we get with the group buy? A new skimmer carries a thick price tag.

[paul]

I won't know until group buy is started

[malofish]

Paul can you email and ask BRS how the individual shipping fees go. Im almost 100% sure everyone involved gets free shipping not only the members that spend over $175

[paul]

You are correct. Once the group reaches 175 we all get free shipoing

[paul]

We still need a couple more to join

[malofish]

I was chatting with tristan and i wanna sy he is also in on the gb

[paul]

Ok

[paul]

We didn't get 10 to join so I'm thinking I'm going to place my order tomorrow night

[malofish]

how many are you short?

[ramsey]

We didn't get 10 to join so I'm thinking I'm going to place my order tomorrow night

That sucks man. I guess I'll do the same. Maybe next time. I don't know how much it would have benefitted me anyway since I'm not ordering much BRS branded stuff.

[malofish]

Well if anyone needs that extra lil kick to get past the free shipping PM me and maybe we can get in together to get that free shipping.

[paul]

Ok
