Agreed
Us poor saps in Canada aren't treated the same as their US consumers, and I'd like to see what the stats are. Why do we need to do all these Group Buys? 'Cause we are Canucks.
Stuff you BRS, I have spent well over $1000.00 with you since Nov 2011 and I have to pay for more shipping ?
They have already received more than 1 e-mail from me on this topic.

OH, was this rhetorical ?
Hahaha, I love BRS ... they are the best with great prices on great products .... I was never here .... shhhuuutuuuppp
Shhh ... Let's go out the back door, real quick

Now, Old Mr. Johnson had troubles all his own.
He had a yellow cat, who wouldn't leave his home.
He tried, and he tried to give the cat away.
He gave it to a man going far, far away.

But the cat came back the very next day.
The cat came back. They thought he was a gonner,
But the cat came back. He just couldn't stay away. Meow.
:twised:

You missed the point.. If you start a group buy and set it up brs gives you 20 bucks worth of brs points I believe to organize the buy as a thank you. So every group buy the op gets 20.00 which is great for them but kinda unfair to the rest of the ppl in the group buy IMO. Don't get me wrong its nice for the organizer as an incentive to hook buyers for them so they don't have to frequent forums. And they do have great price and great service I've saved some cash ordering. I just think they should disperse the reward to all in the group buy as an Incentive.

Just my random thought. It is what it is lol

Receiving from nowhere in particular as my tappy-talkitty-thingy I just bought is broke :razz: And, honestly, filtering through a bad night of crappy build stuff ending in beers .....

I disagree too with the $20 reward to the originator.
There should be a larger reward for the buy as a whole. We all still pay the shipping. 5% for a group order? Come on. Even 10% is, well, insulting.
Lets say anything over $1000 is 10%, $1500 is 15% and so on.
I spent over $400 on my first order with them, paid with PayPal, and nadda for Greg. I still paid dootie to boot.
And I find their shipping on small items to be unfair.
Fine, ship it UPS, but why charge me $18.99 for something that fits in a cigarette box? And then I still have to pay dudie. And they make me wait until the following Friday before they ship as 'they say' it's cheaper'. Ya, maybe cheaper for them, but we still foot the bill, so they profit on our shipping on top of the sale.
No, I'm not bitter

I think BRS should readjust their shipping costs. It's ridiculous what they charge for small items.
They have not once remembered my large orders when I needed smallers ones.

I wish you the best of luck collecting. I know it's always a bad experience.
Luckily we got away with 'collecting' our stuff from 'his' warehouse after he removed it from ours.
In our 'case', a previous joint owner felt he 'owned' quite a lot of our stuff.
It was removed from our premises, say, during the twilight hours, so to speak.
Some people met with some other people and stuff exchanged hands.
The courts never had a chance to look at what happened.
We got lucky and still kept the business running until the boss retired.
23 years and, well, I guess I should have bought him out.

Good luck with your collections. I hope you get back what you are looking for

I hate that, I even used to have contractors sign contracts when I was in business.. Still got the run around for up to 60 days sometimes, and a few times never got paid, since I was the little man, I couldnt afford the lawyers they could so often times lost out.

You don't need a lawyer. Just sell it to a collection agency, they take a good chunk but you get some money.

Nano 04-13-2012 03:38 PM

did that once, only got about 30% in the end... I miss Taping so much lol, just not worth the hassle IMO

subman 04-13-2012 03:51 PM

I never said it was a good option lol....They may be worse than lawyers!

What do you need?

edit: I know, an electrician :) , but what's the specific problem?

Flash 04-13-2012 04:43 PM

I need him to pull a permit and wire my basement! lol!

reefgirl189 04-13-2012 04:48 PM

You don't need an electrician to do that. You can do both of those yourself.

Flash 04-13-2012 04:54 PM

nope I am not the home owner.. my parents are and they are in bc. they can't pull the permit unless they are here...

subman 04-13-2012 04:59 PM

The problem is you need a master electrician to pull permits in AB. (outside of the home owner of course)

Ill call a couple buddies Lyndsy (I forgot before)

Flash 04-13-2012 05:00 PM

YUP!!! an thanks jason!!!

reefgirl189 04-13-2012 05:35 PM

I knew I should have been a sparky instead of an instrument girl.

I've been seriously condidering a career change lately.

I'd like to own my own business someday. Either that or strike it rich on lotto 6/49 and eat bonbons on my couch all day while watching trashy daytime TV. That seems a bit better. Time to go buy a lottery ticket.
