I am putting together a group buy at BRS. This will be available to all ARK members and non members in CT area. Below is an excert from the BRS website on how it has to happen. I will schedule the group buy to start the tuesday following the accumulation of 10 participants. Will most likely try to start the buy on next tuesday the 23rd. Please post or PM me your info (ARK members that have already pm'ed me info for other club group buys please resend if interested in this buy) if interested in participating.
We have a unique way of doing Group Buy's at BulkReefSupply.com. Instead of requiring groups to place a single large order we give each group buy participant individual access to our lowest prices. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements. Each participant gets the lowest prices even if they only buy one item. This removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payments, and distribute the order. And this also means Group Buys at BulkReefSupply are not limited to local clubs! That's right, because orders are shipped separately group buys can involve people from all over the country and Canada.
To set up a Group Buy with BulkReefSupply.com simply:
"¢Gather a minimum of 10 participants
"¢Instruct everyone to create an account on BulkReefSupply.com if they don't have one already
"¢Pick a Tuesday the group buy will start. Group buys run Tuesdays through the following Monday.
"¢Send a "master list" of everyone participating to GroupBuys@BulkReefSupply.com that includes the following:
"¢First and last name (please do not include forum nicknames/handles)
"¢Email address associated with each participants BulkReefSupply.com's email address
"¢The name of the group buy and it's start date. For example, "nameofgroup May 18th 2009"
Then what? Here is what will happen after your list is emailed:
"¢On the pre-determined Tuesday each participant will receive an email notifying them that the Group Buy has started.
"¢Participants can start buying as soon as they get this email. Please wait for this email before placing orders!
"¢During the group buy week participants will login to their own account to place their own order, which ships immediately.
"¢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!
