Group Order for Bulk Reef Supply

[scottsr]

I am trying to get a group order going at BRS. I will post the instructions that I got via e-mail later.

You might have more luck/interest if you try in your local area forum... Just a suggestion... :)

[scottsr]

This does not require anymore than 10 people who want to place an order; we all do everything seperately there is no need to collect money and haggle over shipping costs. They do all the work. I will post more detaiiled instructions that they sent.

[jb61264]

I'm in...I was about to buy some stuff from them anyway :)

[scottsr]

When I get home tonight I will post the e-mail that I got from them. We would be able to order starting next Tues if we get the people for it, which will not be a issue.

This is the page it is not as hellpful as the email I got but I will post the e-mail later.

I'm in. I want to get a refractometer. Do we just need to sign up and create an account on their website.

[mcoomer]

I need some things so post up the email info and let me see how this works.

[scottsr]

These are the instructions I got; I would like to try and plan for a Tues in the near future, say 7/21/09

We have a unique way of doing group buy's at BulkReefSupply that remove all of the hassle normally associated with a group buy. In a nutshell we remove all purchase quantity requirements and give each participant individual access to our lowest quantity price. Because everyone gets the lowest price no matter how much they order it removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payment, distribute the order and try to calculate each person's share of the shipping cost.

BulkReefSupply.com group buys are super easy to set up. Simply:
1. Gather a minimum of 10 participants
2. Instruct everyone to create an account on BulkReefSupply.com if they don't have one already
3. Pick a Tuesday the group buy will start. Group buys run Tuesdays through the following Monday.
4. Send an email to Andrew@BulkReefSupply.com that includes the following:
1. First and last name (please do not include forum nicknames/handles).
2. Email address associated with each participants BulkReefSupply.com's email address.
3. The name of the group buy and it's start date. For example, "nameofclub May 18th 2009".
Then what? Here is what will happen after your list is emailed:
1. We will update each participants account sometime on the Tuesday morning you chose and email everyone that the buy has started.
2. Start buying only after this email is received.
3. During the week that the buy is open members will individually login and place their own order which will ship immediately.
4. The next Monday each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is between regular retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us!
If you have more question check out our group buy details page: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/i8/Group-and-Club-Buys/information.html or send me an email.

[austinaqualung]

Sounds good, count me in...

[scottsr]

I am confident that we have enough intrest. What date should we plan for 7-21 / 7-28 / 8-4 or 8-11-09?

[austinaqualung]

The sooner the better for me. I vote for the 7/21 date.

[bjhubb]

The 21st sounds good to me.

[scottsr]

I am voting for the 21st too.

[scottsr]

My email is scottsfreecyclmail@yahoo.com, e-mail me to be added to the list that I have to send in.
Scott

[austinaqualung]

Scott, I tried sending my info to your email adress, but it bounced...

-Doug

[jb61264]

I vote for 7/21 as well

Also tried email provided and it bounced back to me...I tried again with scottsfreecyclemail@yahoo.com (with the "e" added after "cycl" thinking maybe it was mispelled)

[scottsr]

Sorry it does need the e, I have had the most typo's where it counts lately.

[luther1200]

I'm in what exactly do I have to do. I sent you a PM with my name and e-mail.

[scottsr]

That will do it luther, I will send them the group list 7/19/09, and they will send us seperate e-mails on 7/21/09 letting us know we are signed up then we get the discount and they ship out our stuff imediately, no waiting for everyone to buy.

[Znut Reefer]

I sent you an e-mail also to be added to the list. :)

[Osaka-san]

PM also sent. Please add me to tge BRS group buy.

[scottsr]

This is going to work out great, so far there are about 20 people.

[Hal]

So the pricing for each item will be the lowest price listed in the Quantity Price Chart for that item?

Dang it, I just bought a RKL1 and a dosing pump from them. I could've saved $10.

Oh well, I've had my eye on the dual reactor for awhile now. Might as well pick up a 5th stage for my RO unit and some more mag chloride while I'm at it. :D

Sent you a pm. I'm in.

[kajung2k]

[calkulon]

[USC-fan]

We need to start doing this like once a month. I too just made an order last week. It would have savef me like $30. :-(

[chillncm]

count me in as well..thanks

[scottsr]

Thats an idea USC-fan, maybe it could be an a certain week each month, then if you missed it one month you could get it next.

[luther1200]

Awesome great idea Scottsr.

[jackcarp]

Count me in too. I really like their products. This is great.

[scottsr]

[scottsr]

I do not know. I submitted the list 7/20/09.
I am sure there will be another one in the future.
Scott

[jb61264]

when are we supposed to get an email from BRS?

[rando45]

and when do we email them? sorry never done a bulk order thing before

[herozero]

brilliant idea, wish the timing were better and i were low on stuff! we should seriously do this every couple of months.

[Amoore311]

Heads Up!

Just got my email from BulkReefSupply about the Group Buy

Check your inbox everyone :p

[rando45]

got mine too

[scottsr]

Just got mine; I see that the discount for the hcGFO is down to $157.99 from $174.99 for 7lbs, not to shabby. Are any of the test kits less now?
Scott

[Amoore311]

The test kits are not discounted.

[Shane Hoffman]

Got a few small things I need to order from them.

[scottsr]

I do not know how to arrange one each month, but I would like to see it as a monthly thing. It only requires 10 people.

How do you determine your status?
If you bought during the group buy they upgrade you to preferred customer after the group buy is over.
