Fragalot Group Buy Lower Mainland Spring 2012

[ScubaSteve]

I'm in. I don't mind coordinating with him either. I can receive the shipment and hold things provided that most people pick up their stuff within a day or two as my tank isn't huge.

Some recommendations:
1) Let's set a final date that this goes through so we're not waiting forever for people to figure their stuff out.
2) Pick ups have to happen that day unless you make arrangements with the receiver to hold your shipment as they'll have to take them out of the bags and acclimate them to their tank rather than just floating the bags.
3) By a certain date, have everyone submit their orders to a coordinator who will check the availability of items as his site isn't always up to date. Coordinator will inform those who may be affected by availability. When he gets bombarded by emails is when mistakes start to happen.
4) Let's make a list of who's in.

New frags baby!

[Kryos]

Is there a minimum we need to reach? about how much would we save? do we just save on shipping? There are a few frags I'm interested in, but depends on how much I save/spend.

[Flash]

$300 is the min...and you have to add tax on paypal payments... but email money transfers are tax free! with my group orders, i just tell everyone what they owe after it's confirmed in stock and they pay on their own!

[Paigee]

I might be interested! I'll keep checking in for more details!

[Snaz]

$300 gets us free shipping which saves everyone $45 so there is your savings. We should keep this as simple as possible perhaps if we pay individually as per Flash's group buys.

I am fine with ScubaSteve hosting the frags and coordinating the sale. Anyone object to Steve's 1 day pick up rule?

Dates. We should hard set some dates.

Ship date. The date everything ships and expect order to arrive at host next day.

Cut-off date/time. Last chance to order and be included in this group buy. This is needed for Burc for obvious reasons.

Inventory date. A firm date with accurate inventory list from Burc. This is when we begin to order our purchases, first come first serve.

Discuss please.

I am in if it happens within 2 weeks, I'll spend minimum 60 dollars.

I am also interested but only for $30 -$40 bucks. ( 3 or 4 corals )
Also to make order easy, we shouldhave alternative corals in case he is out.
