Bulk Reef Supply / Two Part Solution Group Buy

ninjamini, they ship each person's stuff individually to their own address. As I understand it, shipping fees are based on weight, so there's no real benefit to shipping everything to a single address. If you're not buying heavy bulk items, you might want to buddy up with someone and place a combined order for lightweight items. The also discount shipping costs if the combined orders for the club exceed certain levels. I think it's 10% for $500 combined, and 20% for $1k combined.

I am in Jeff. I will buy something cheap for now like reefwreak.

What information do you need from me?

Thanks,

I am in Jeff. With a response like this, why don't you try to see if they will automatically extend this offer to all FMAS members?
 
I'm in.

The reason they probably wouldn't extend it to all FMAS members automatically is because that's not easily trackable by their company, whereas everyone that buys one item can be added to a database.

I'll get in touch with the guys at bulk reef supply this week. I suspect there will be some sort of group code that you'll need when you sign up on their website, indicating that you're part of the FMAS group buy. Once I have everything set up, I'll PM the specifics to everyone on this thread, and send an email to all club members.
 
Yep ;)

Bulk Reef Supply runs group buy promotions Monday-Monday, so I'm setting it up for next week (starting 3/24).

If you're in, create an account on www.bulkreefsupply.com THIS WEEK and send me your name and the email address you registered with them. Get me your info ASAP to ensure you are in.

IF I DO NOT HAVE YOUR NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS THIS WEEK, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE GROUP BUY DISCOUNT.

Group Buy pricing will be available for NEXT WEEK, 3/24 through 3/31. After that, everyone who participates is converted to Preferred Customer status, which carries a smaller, but permanent, discount.

Here are the details from them:
All you need to do is the following.

1)Decide on a week you want to run the promotion (Monday-Monday)
2)Make list of everyone's name that wants to join as well as the emails they used to create an account on our cart.
3)Make sure they all create accounts. If they don't create an account we won't be able to upgrade them with the new pricing lists.
4)During that week log in and submit your order.


Few common questions your members may have.

How much will the discount be ?
In most cases the discount will be the maximum quantity discount you will find on most of our items. Items without quantity discounts will have a different discount and will vary. A few of our items are already at the maximum discount allowed by our manufacturer and can not be discounted any further. This is mainly lighting fixtures and electronics like reef keepers.

When we are done it says we will be members of the Preferred Customer Group. What is that?
It is a special pricing group for people who are active in the reefing community. On most items it automatically moves you into the second quantity discount pricing tier, on other items it is a modest discount.

When will the prices be updated?
We typically update them Monday Morning at 10am CST. On the following Monday when the promotion ends we will permanently upgrade the accounts to preferred status at the same time 10am)

How come I can't see the new prices?
You need to log into the site for the cart to show you the special prices on your account.
