LadAShark Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Been meaning to replenish my clean up crew for a while, but have been holding off. Now I need a pretty sizable supplement but would like to see if anybody is interested in taking advantage of bulk pricing/splitting shipping (I think they may have something regarding shipping above a certain amount of items ordered too?) Not sure if general is the best place to post this. Anyway. Just want to gauge interest. Edit: started a poll for those who want to take part in a bulk lot that we can split up, while other purchases will be individual, we unfortunately need to have one person buy the bulk lot and split the payment later.

Shar_Zard Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I need a bunch of bumble bee snails, maybe a few trochus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandVib3s Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I could use some snails and hermits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadAShark Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Alright. With a little more interest I'll start the group buy. If not, it'll still be fine if our total comes to more than $200 (for free shipping). One other person pmed me, so there's 4 of us so far.

Savo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I bought some chaeto from them this week and it came with bristle worms. Threw it out. Edited October 22, 2021 by Savo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure if you guys are ordering *'d items that require overnight but reefcleaners has free shipping on their tank cleaner packages. I've ordered quite a few over the years I've been reefing and they do fine with the 2-3 day. I just got a 50g order to reup my CUC this week in fact. Came in healthy and happy!

I also got my cuc with them this week and they all came in healthy and happy. I did upgrade the shipping to overnight. I think there free shipping would of been sufficient. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group buys have free shipping above $200 and have their own select shipping option. I am not sure if * marked species will affect it, but their group buy page does note that they will message the coordinator (which in this case would probably be me) if they do get a shipping charge. I've had experience with their * marked species even without overnight shipping, and didn't have a single DoA even with a mid summer delayed delivery. I think it should ultimately be fine. Personally I prefer to select my cleanup crew myself because I avoid hermits and also have a triggerfish, so their packages do not, unfortunately, work for me. Side note: if anybody wants to order something from the bulk lots option and save that way, a single person will have to pay for the bulk lot order (otherwise everybody pays for their own lot) and have it divided up later; savings that way are significant, just have to divide the payment for the individual bulk lot later. Personally I'd be interested in bulk lots for trochus snails (starting at 10 at $3.50 each), Florida ceriths (100 $0.45, 250 $0.40), dwarf ceriths (500 $.12, 1000 $0.10), and blue/green ricordeas (10 at $8 each)(only interested in ricordeas if someone wants to divide three or four ways at least). Please let me know if you would like to order one of these categories, and we can work it out at payment. I'm sure between all of us so far we will readily hit the $200 minimum, but I'd still like to give some time for the weekend for more people to join in before I officially start the group buy.

youcallmenny Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Right on. I've never done it like that so I was curious how they handled group orders. Thanks for explaining and yea I agree, I heartily recommend John and his company to everyone. He's great and does great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadAShark Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Alright, I will be starting the group buy. What days (Wednesday-Friday) are most suitable for you guys to pick up your livestock (so that I can set the group buy to deliver that date)? I am in Tigard, Bull mountain area, And that's where I'd likely distribute the livestock.@wegotjs @islandVib3s@Shar_Zard@Parzifal@Leonardomanzano Edited October 28, 2021 by LadAShark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadAShark Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 https://strawpoll.com/wx3sdfpr5 Here's a poll for individual items that can be purchased via bulk. You can vote for multiple items; this way, we can see what people would like to have so we can opt for bulks buys instead of separate packages where possible.

Tiny Reef Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Is there still time to get in on this? I could use a few snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got delayed a little bit on starting the group buy, but if that gets a few more people in on it, all the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
