The only purpose on a group order from them is to maybe save on shipping costs. It has been done before, someone just has to let Barry at CD know ahead of time and he will hold all the clams up to a certain time and then ship them all together to the one person. If you are in the group, you just have to put a note on your order comments that you are part of the group. He keeps them marked so there is no confusion over which clam is which.

As mentioned, the biggest problem is just being there as soon as their online store opens so you get a better chance at finding a clam you like. If someone were to just blindly order a large number of clams for a club meeting, this would be expensive and there is no guarantee that the clams would be quality ones that people will buy. Someone could get stuck with a bunch of clams and an empty pocketbook.
