Hello All,
I received this e-mail from Floridapets.com. Looks interesting but I would suggest we find out what the parameters are regarding discounts (25% off and flat rate shipping). I think we would still need someone to organize this. I wouldn't want to order anything unless I was assured what the price would be. I like that they ship directly to the buyer though. Any thoughts as to going about this?
Bill,
Thank you for suggesting us for a group buy. I would like to give you some info. about our way of handling group buys.
First, we establish a time period for the group buy, like a two week period of time and set the dates.
Then, we offer a particular group an attractive discount, as much as 25% off anything from the site.
Depending on location, we may be able to offer a bit of a shipping discount or flat shipping rate as well.
We take all orders during that time period directly from each group member via e-mail or phone. This means no-one from the group has to keep track of orders or collect any money.
We then confirm each order after the money is received and ship each individuals order to them directly to their door.
This makes the group buy much easier and usually faster.
Take a loook at our site and check out the prices. We have among the lowest prices on the internet and we also carry a few items you wont find anywhere else. Some of our exclusive items include; the lg. Feather Caulerpa, the turban snails(true turbo), Virgin Nerite snails and and our portion o'pods.
We thank you again for suggesting us for your group buy. We hope you will pass along our method to your group. We hope to hear from you again soon.
