Vortech Group Buy - It's On! ENDED!! Thank You

It's not 100% confirmed. I go that info from the fellow at reefcentral who was organizing the group buy there. Those are the prices he quoted me and shipping was included in that price. If you aren't in the lower mainland then you would probably have to pay shipping from here to your location. He was a bit busy and didn't have much time to talk so I told him I would follow up with him next week when I had some idea of how many pumps we might be interested in.

At this point, I'm not looking for 100% commitment but interest from people who were probably buying one anyhow at full price or those that would be highly likely to buy if we can get some sort of discount. I can then give vendors a range of quantities and find out what discounts they might do.

We would likely have to pay PST and GST at the border too but we would probably pay that where ever we bought them.

I am apart of a Hemi forum and when they do group buys with a vendor usually they dont do a big group order what they do is have a coupon code and only members of the forum know it. When you type in the coupon code it will knock off a certain percentage or dollar amount.

Didnt really matter if it was 1 unit or 30 units the vendor just gave a discount because we were apart of the forum.

Post the prices when you get them. It may intrest me at the time, especially if it is pay day.

Might be a mute point and this is just fyi. Group buys like this are the reason there is no distributor for vortech here. So in a way you are contributing to the problem. Not trying to start anything....just telling it like it is.

I agree, support your local shop or soon they won't be there at all. I can appreciate trying to save a few bucks, but personally I would rather spend a little extra and have the peace of mind knowing that if something went wrong and I needed service I had somewhere to take the item without having to ship it off somewhere.

Good luck I just picked up an mp20 about 3 weeks ago. I love cranking it up and watch it clean off all my rocks.

Note I was going to get into a group buy through another forum but with the price plus conversion and shipping it was less to buy it frrom JL

There are a couple of Canadians carrying the Vortechs. I'm all for supporting local vendors but for some reason many of them refuse to budge on pricing whereas US vendors seem much more willing to offer a discount. I do plan on approaching the Canadian vendors as well to see if they will give us some discount. I don't mind spending $20 or even $30 more on something if I can get it locally but if it is closer to $80 or $100 difference or even more in some cases I will go where I can get the better price.

After exchange etc. the difference on these Vortech pumps is probably something like $65 or $70. That's a fair savings. If the Canadian guys are willing to come down in price by $40 or $50 I would be happy to buy from them.
