THE GROUP ORDER IS NOW CLOSED

I am placing an order with BRS soon and was wondering if anyone is interested in a group order. Basically we need 10 people and they can be located anywhere as your order will be shipped directly to you. If and when we have 10 people the date for orders will be set. I would like to give it a couple of days to see if there is any interest.

BRS has a deal with UPS that they pay upfront so what is on your invoice is what you will pay! It includes shipping, GST, PST and any brokerage fees.

If you are interested you will need to add your name to the list in this post and PM me your email address that you used when you created your BRS account. If you do not have an account you will need to set it up with BRS first: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store...account/login/

More info on the group by from the BRS website:

“Bulk Reef Supply Group Buys

We have a unique way of doing Group Buy's at BulkReefSupply.com. Instead of requiring groups to place a single large order we give each group buy participant individual access to our lowest prices. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements. Each participant gets the lowest prices even if they only buy one item. This removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payments, and distribute the order. And this also means Group Buys at BulkReefSupply are not limited to local clubs! That's right, because orders are shipped separately group buys can involve people from all over the country and Canada.

To set up a Group Buy with BulkReefSupply.com simply:

• Gather a minimum of 10 participants
• Instruct everyone to create an account on BulkReefSupply.com if they don't have one already *critical*
• Pick a Tuesday the group buy will start. Group buys run Tuesdays through the following Monday.

Then what? Here is what will happen after your list is emailed:

• On the pre-determined Tuesday each participant will receive an email notifying them that the Group Buy has started.
• Participants can start buying as soon as they get this email. Please wait for this email before placing orders!
• During the group buy week participants will login to their own account to place their own order, which ships immediately.
• At the end of the Group Buy each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is generally between our retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us! ”

I had a PM asking what the disounts would be so I emeailed Brandon at BRS and here is his response:

"It varies from product to product. Some items are MAP priced from manufacturers and we have to honor those prices. Some items just don't have any markup, or are already on sale (like your plumbing fittings for example) so they won't either, but the majority of our products, especially BRS brand products, have anywhere from a 5-10% discount on them. If they join your group buy, they are not obligated to purchase anything, and if they don't it won't affect the other folks on the group buy."
