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.


I am definately in!!
I think mainly we are looking to save on shipping with one big order rather than have several small orders, each subject to their own sihipping charges.

If I have to pay for all of the shipping cost, count me out.

last time I was part of the group order I did not find that big of a discount on pricing. In fact prices on most items stayed the same.

I was in on the last group order organized out of Calgary. The discount on gate valves, TU ball valves, and BRS pumps and chemicals etc made it worthwhile.

I have a shipping address with Security Mail Services in Blaine, so free shipping applied to Blaine. I co-ordinate a trip thru the city with a midweek border crossing (no wait times), and pick it up.

I do that a couple times per year for various purchases. Shipping and brokerage charges to Canada can eat up any savings, and then some.

My shipping charges eat up all my savings last time, the prices were very good but the shipping was terrible. It was cheaper for me to go and buy it at a lfs and not have to wait for it to arrive by ups. My 0.02
