So I will be doing a GB from Bulk Reef Supply within the next few weeks. The delivery date will be right before March 14, that way I can bring stuff ordered to Prop that weekend (incase anyone can't or doesn't wanna drive to North Phx). I will make an appearance at frag this weekend, but I probably will not be there the entire time so if you would like to give me the money and your order then, I can place it for you. Keep in mind, the more we order, the less each individual item will be. Shipping will be split between all who participate.
I am definately ordering
1 or 2 pounds GFO granules
1 gallon Kalk,
and either a BRS reactor or Dual reactor
but if anyone else would like to order a reactor, we can get a price drop. Just start a list here of what you would like and then PM me when you would like to meet up to pay. Thanks!
 
Cool, I want to order some stuff too. Them shipping to our houses, does that mean we don't need to wait to set up a group buy and can buy when ever we want? Or does it still make it cheaper on the shipping to do it as a group.

"Group and Club Buys

***NEW*** Group Buy is now available any time and as many times as your club would like to utilize it.

This promotion is designed to maximize the discounts and remove all of the organizational hassle that normally goes along with a group buy. All you need is 10 people who want to buy at least one item from us at drastically discounted prices.

Here is how it works: For one week we upgrade every member of your club who signs up and creates an account with special "Club Wholesale" status. This gives them individual access to the maximum quantity discounts without quantity requirements on all of our bulk material as well as considerable discounts on much of our product line. Each member of the club handles their own order individually. There is no need to organize the order, schedule a pickup/distribution day, or collect payments. If that isn't enough we offer one more exciting perk: All club members who participate in the group buy will have their accounts upgraded to "Preferred Reefer" status giving them a smaller but permanent discount. The only requirement to be eligible for this Introductory Reef Club offer is that a minimum of 15 club members sign up. If you are interested in setting up a group buy with us please contact Andrew to get you started Andrew@reefchili.com

***Please note that with some items we are obligated to honor manufactures pricing guidelines. All of these products are already set at the minimum price allowed by the manufacture and we cannot lower them any further.***"
 
This is the email I recieved after asking about the group buy

"Allen,
Basically our group buys remove all of the hassle normally associated with a group buy by giving individual access to the lowest quantity discount to each participating member. This means each member gets the lowest price even if they only buy one item. Everybody handles their own order separately so you don’t have to spend a lot of time organizing an order, collecting payment, and disbursing the product to each member. And as a thank you we give each participating member permanent Preferred Customer status which gives them discounts on their future orders.
All you need to do is pick a Tuesday that your group will start and send me a list of members who will be participating. We update accounts on that Tuesday and send everyone an email notifying them that they can buy. Members should have created an account with us prior to the group buy start so we can update their accounts. Members who miss the first list are welcome to send us an email and sign up at anytime during the duration of the group buy. Orders are shipped individually so there is no waiting for one big consolidation. The following Monday we set all account to Preferred Customer status.
Make sure you send me the name of your club or forum with the list of participants. Let me know if you have any other questions."

So let's start the list so I can send it to him on March 3rd.
 
K, so everyone that wants in, please open an account with BRS first if you don't have one yet... then PM me with your full name and the email address you used that's connected to the account. I will then compile the info and send it in to Andrew on the 3rd or maybe earlier if we get everyone in that wants in right away.

When they say "drastic price reductions", roughly what percentage range are we talking?
Saddler, from my experience with them since I've become one of their preferred customers, they knock off the 1st base price of the item and start you on the second tier. For example, a 1lbs Bag of GFO granules ranged from $23.99 to $18.99 with 1 bag being $23.99 for a general customer. However, after signing into my account, the price range for the same item was $20.99-$18.99 with a single bag being only $20.99. So usually if two of one item is ordered, we get placed onto the next lowest tier. I hope this helps!
I've got a few PMs already, but haven't responded just cuz I wanna keep my mailbox clean. I have it recorded though so keep em coming.
