I am new to this ordering so I took too long.

I would also like a German Blue Montipora Digitata.

Total is $60.00.

Please let me know if this is OK and I hope the pick-up in not too far down the valley as I live in North Vancouver. If my order is too impracticle/complicated just let me know and I will cancel.

If the orders discussed in the thread are confirmed and added to what I received via email & PM you are good for free shipping.

Thanks everyone, keep those orders coming.

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!
Keith.

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

Thank you for your reply Greg. In the past we used the spreadsheet primarily to ensure then vendor has correct information at all times to minimize the likely hood of incorrect orders and to track that we met the free shipping requirement. If the spreadsheet is of no use to you then I have no problem not using it.

Sounds like payment is easy enough. Is shipping automatically added to the final cart purchase? If yes do you refund this somehow?

Keith, I can receive the order at my place if you want, it's pretty centralized location. I'll be in for purple poison and red dragon. Thanks

Sounds fine by me Bblinks, if anyone has a better suggestions I think your place to receive is perfect.

When to ship? I was thinking anytime really. How does ship Monday Sept 24th to arrive BBlinks morning of Tuesday the 25th sound to everyone? Snapper would these dates work for you?

Is everyone planning on ordering SPS? I'm interested in LPS but it seems like the stock is very low on LPS.

Keith what's your email address, I have done a few orders from back east the same way with spreadsheet just so everyone is clear of what they are getting. We can then put it through Greg's website as a single order, I don't mind slapping it on the visa and you guy can pay me back on pick up day. Or we can just place separate orders on the site and let Greg work it out. Either way I m good.
