Hello everybody!

I am interested in organizing a bulk reef supply group order!

We need at least 10 buyers!
For those who didn't know, buying in a group order gets you lower group order prices and the "preferred customer" price for any orders placed afterwards...its pretty cool!

We can arrange that via PM

Feel free to contact me if you need further info!

Note that you need to create an account on the bulkreefsupplies website to be able to enter the group!  here is a link to do it!  https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/customer/account/login/

For those interested the infos i need to start the group is your last name and your email adress used on Bulkreef supply's website account!
As soon as we have 10 buyers in i will contact them and from that point we will have a one week period (from tuesday to monday) to complete our orders.

Here is the nice stuff...each banking (payment) transaction is made separately and shipping is also individual...no need to pick up and arrange payments afterward  :)
There is no minimum item number or amount...you can buy whatever you want even if its only worth a couple of bucks  ;)

I hope to get many answers because I would like to confirm them the group ASAP so we could start shopping next week, in order to received everything quickly!

is there any way we can know the price we would get before we order?
I may be interested in some of the propagation tools.

I don't think so, but I seem to recall it is about 15%-20% on the group order.

IIRC, once you're setup with a BRS account and are involved with a group order, you will see the group buy prices on the webpage.

I'd probably be interested in some Cal, Alk, and Mg supplements. Need to figure out exactly what when I get some time.

Here is what they say for shipping on my current shopping cart:


United Parcel Service

Canada Standard $xx.xx

They also charge us a 15% tax to cover the duty fees so you dont have to pay anything at the post office when you pick it up...they take care of paying duties when they ship the item so it doesnt end up as a surprise for you!!!

Ok so the usual rebates offered by BRS is the lowest bulk order price shown on their website!  So its really worth it IMO!

Send me a PM to join in!! :)

Count me in.

Nice thing about a group by:
"At the end of the Group Buy each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is generally between our retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us!"

In case you want info about how a group buy works with BRS.

I picked up the stuff in the States and brought it over myself. Being close to the US saves me about $50 on the average order. Especially if the customs folks are in a generous mood!
