I haven't worked out with him how shipping savings would work but I am hoping he commits to free shipping if we can get an order over an agreed amount.
1. When? When shall we place the order.
2. Where? Who can receive and float the bags until everyone arrives same day for pickup.
3. $$$ How much must we order before we see savings in regards to shipping.
Once we sort out the above questions I will begin to assemble the spreadsheet. DO NOT PM with orders at this time, I will ignore them.
Thanks!

Thanks for organizing Keith. Free shipping starts at $350 and of course applies to group orders. I have never used a spread sheet for group buys (& I've done many of them) and never had issues. If you really want to use it we can however I like to keep things as simple as possible. People just send me their individual orders and pay me directly either by EMT or through my website via paypal. The website tracks all orders and keeps track of stock quantities and updates as soon as an order is completed. All orders are individually packaged & clearly marked with people's names and each bag is clearly marked with the frag ID so there is no guess work as to what the corals are and who it's for. Please feel free to check around about my packaging of group orders and I'll think you'll find there is seldom any mix ups. All regular corals come with an "arrive alive-stay alive 10 day guarantee & advanced corals (marked as such on the site) have an arrive alive 24 hr. guarantee. It is very rare that there are any DOA corals and I always fix it ASAP. Again please check around and I'm sure this group will be able to order with confidence.
Thanks again,
Greg
