GVRD Acan Plus Group Buy
 

Anyone in the lower mainland wanna go in on me with an order of Acan Plus food from Red Coral in Alberta? They're the only distributor of this stuff at this time.

http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69638



Cost:
1-9 Bottles @ $19.99+GST=$20.99 each + Shipping @ $12 / ?
10 Bottles @ $17.90+GST=$18.80 each + Shipping @ FREE!!*
10+ Bottles @ ($17.90 - 10%**)+GST=$16.92 each + Shipping @ $1/bottle

* Carmen of Red Coral Aquarium has offered Free Shipping if we order a case of 10 bottles
** I have a 10% coupon which I will apply to the order if we order more than 10 bottles (Cannot be combined with Free Shipping, but Carmen has agreed to give us Flat Rate shipping of $12)

Deadline:
Sunday, May 7, 2011

Payment:
Payment will be to me, as I will be placing the order. I am not making any money off this, so if you want to pay me via Paypal, please add 3%+$0.30. Or else we can meet up and you can give me cash (I work in Burnaby, live in South Vancouver, and I am in Richmond quite a bit).

Pickup:
Pickup will be in person. We'll have to make arrangements for you to come to me, as I am not a delivery service (and gas is not cheap!) :P

I would Gary if we can figure out how to get mine to Victoria

Forgot to mention shipping would be $12.00 for up to 10 bottles! Same price as for 1 bottle! So the more you can get in there the better the deal!:wink:

Shelley, no worries, we'll work something out. I'll PM you.


NICE! Who else is in??

I'M IN:lol:

Cool. 1 Bottle?

I've started a list up top. Everyone who's in, please state how many you want. Let's set a deadline for 1 week today to jump on board.

GST not HST:wink:

So price is actually...
19.99 + 5%GST=$20.99
10 @ 17.90 +5%GST=$18.80

2 bottles for me
 

yup im in for 2.

so who do i pay and how does this get to me?

GOD I MISS LIVING IN ALBERTA. I REALLY HATE THE HST. I WILL TAKE 2 BOTTLES BUT IF WE NEED TO BUMP THE NUMBERS UP A BIT THEN I TAKE A HIT FOR THE TEAM AND GET 3.:mrgreen:

if someone can ship to me either in Nanaimo or to shelley in Victoria, whichever is easier, I'm in for 1 bottle

i would like one please.

Im in for a bottle.. And can take delivery for christy if she wants

Hi Gary, I am in for 2. Thanks.

ottoman, just curious how the rbta is doing? hopefully it has split for you too.:smile:

Contact Info
 

Alright everyone looks like we've already achieved the 10+ pricing of $16.92+shipping! Good job! Anyone else who wants to jump in, please do so ASAP.

For those who have signed up, please PM me with your name and contact info (cell#), and how you wish to pay me. I'd like to start making arrangements before the deadline, so we can get the ball rolling.

As it stands for shipping, I think it's fair that shipping be divided by Quantity Ordered. So right now we have 12 orders, and shipping is $12, so that's +$1 for each bottle you order.

Cost:
1 @ $16.92+1=$17.92
2 @ ($16.92*2)+2=$35.84

So everyone, please PM me and we'll go from there. Thanks!

Great job guys! Ready when you are!:wink:

i'll in for 1 bottle. pm'ed

Payment
 

Hi Everyone,

Looks like we're pretty much set on the quantity, with just a few more people trickling in.

So I'd like to get the ball rolling and start requesting payment to confirm your orders. If I've dealt with you before, then I will trust you with payment due upon pickup. Else, please PM me to arrange payment in person or via paypal.

To make things easy I'll set the shipping share at $1.

Cost:
1 Bottle: $16.92
Shipping: $1
Cash Price: $16.92+$1=$17.92
Paypal Price: ($17.92*1.03)+$0.30=$18.76 to gmgq23@gmail.com

2 Bottles: $16.92*2=$33.84
Shipping: $1*2=$2
Cash Price: $33.84+$2=$35.84
Paypal Price: ($35.84*1.03)+$0.30=$37.22 to gmgq23@gmail.com

If everyone can get your payments to me this week, then I can place the order by Friday.

Thanks everyone,
Gary

Deadline
 

Ok, just a reminder that the deadline is TOMORROW, Thursday, May 5, 2011!

Most people have paid me, or arranging to -- so thanks a lot guys.

Anyone else who wants to jump on, please do so ASAP. At this point, please consider using Paypal to get me the funds ASAP (to gmgq23@gmail.com).

I'm really hoping to place the order by Friday.

Thanks for everyone who's joined this group buy so far! It's been great meeting you guys ;)

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I was busy today. I was waiting for payment from one guy, and Carmen is away this weekend anyways, so the earliest she can ship it is monday.

So since we cant do anything about this order on the weekend anyways, I'll still take any stragglers who want to join in (someone just PM'd me wanting to join).

You have to paypal me at gmgq23@gmail.com
or
Call me at 604-790-9588 to arrange dropoff of the money to me THIS WEEKEND.

Order will be placed first thing Monday, May 9, 2011.

Thanks everyone.
Gary
