Salt Group Buy?

I'll swing by DP this weekend and see if they have a number of buckets per pallet yet, and what kind of pricing they can do for us.

The count is somewhere around

15 and 9 for Oceanic an IO respectively.
 
Here is the dealio folks:

A) We can buy at least half a pallet of Oceanic @ $32.99 each
B) We can buy close to a full pallet of IO @36.99 each

There are (40) 200g buckets to a pallet according to Discount Pet. I didn't want to get into it with them but I can't see there being more than (36) buckets per pallet (a standard pallet is 48x40" and a bucket is about 12" diameter you do the math)... and I have seen at least one reference on RC that there are 24 buckets per pallet. What this means... I don't know yet. If anyone feels like researching it and posting your findings let me know.

The plus side of dealing with DP is they will hold the pallet at the store and we can just go get our salt whenever.

Another option is to take this to an online vendor and see what they can do for us, if it's only a savings of a buck or two I'd say just stick with our local sponsor, but I don't like the idea of getting a suspicious number of buckets per pallet from them.

Thoughts? Opinions? Drinks anyone?
 
Hey alright! You better watch it cause the BOD likes to drink... and so does everyone else in the club apparently!

To clarify my previous post:

Discount Pet REQUIRES us to buy either 20+ buckets of Oceanic or close to 40 buckets of IO to get the deal. We should be able to do the Oceanic for sure, we just need to get everyone comitted.
 
Jake, since it looks like the price is about 32. Put me down for 4 instead of 2 oceanic bucket.

jesus
 
I'd say we go online and see what we can do.. I picked up three buckets of Oceanic a while back from a BAR guy for $27/each...
 
Wow, thats a good price. Who did you get them from?

Maybe he can tell us where he got them. I'd really prefer to support a sponsor but $5 less per bucket adds up to more than just a few dollars.
 
I talked with DP again today, they mentioned that Oceanic will have some pricing specials going on around the end of November that should get us an even better deal. So lets wait it out a little and see how it looks.
 
Bump for a great GB (although it is only the beginning of Nov... couple more weeks before those pricing speacials are supposed to kick in :))

Oh, and when this GB picks back up please put me down for 2 buckets of Oceanic :)
 
I will take 10. Might as well buy them for my big tank, figure it will need salt by Febuary, so while the price is good :) I will pay in advance, no proplem.
 
This should be ok as it is a club event, not an individual advertisement. I'll try to talk to DP this week/weekend to see what the deal is. We should be looking good, I just need to determine how they want us to make payment, and take delivery.
 
Update:

I talked to Danny at DP yesterday and he is going to give us the price on tuesday for Oceanic in quantity, he did say that they (Oceanic) didn't do the promo as planned, so the price may not change. I also asked that they tell us how they want to receive payment and handle pick up of the salt.


For folks using IO we should note that we will not be doing a group buy, there was not enough interest. It will be on sale in December though (fyi).

One thing to note is that both Tish (Store Manager) and Danny (Fish Room Manager) are leaving in the next month. I don't know how this will affect our current situation with them as our sponsor and/or this group buy...
