As per the e-mail i have received.

"Manh-Tu,

Thank you for your e-mail, apologies for the late response.

We do offer group buy rates at 10% off standard prices for group orders of
12 or more racks ordered. You can see details below, there are no exclusions and 10% applies to all products. Items are packaged in 1 large package (to you), and it will be up to you to distribute to your reef-club members.

All you need to do is to tell me the number of items and style (Onyx vs Translucent), and I'll send you an invoice. We can prepare within 1 week and have it to you the following (roughly 2 weeks).

If you can reach an order of 24 or more racks, I can offer you an additional 5% off (for total of 15% off).

Let me know how you would like to proceed.

Example of a typical request:
1x MR2.M Onyx
5x MR3.S Onyx
5x MR3.S Trans
1x MR3.L Onyx

Blackrock Reef "

To make this group buy easy and simple. Please send me a PM with your Full name, e-mail address, phone number, model, color, and quantity please.

I will close this group buy in 1 week to give enough time for everyone to have a chance to see the group buy and consider the offer. (DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5TH 2014)

Once the group buy is closed. I will send you an email and text message with your total including shipping and taxes if applicable. You also must pay in me in advance. You can either pay me in cash, Paypal, or EMT and once I've received everyone's money, i will send the order through. Most of you should know me by now and if you don't please check my Itrade Ratings.

I move around quite a bit throughout the week between Mississauga and Etobicoke so I will provide you with my cell number and we can schedule your pick up.

Here is a link to their product page Blackrock Reef Rack Product Page

Thank you!

[manmadecorals]

Order has been sent in, and now waiting to get an invoice. Will keep you guys updated

 

[manmadecorals]

I have just received the invoice from BBR. Even though we didn't reach the min order to qualify for the discount, i decided to ask for one anyways and good news! They agreed to give us a 10% discount. I will email each one of you with your invoice and payment instruction shortly

 

[manmadecorals]

"Expected ship date is on or before 2/25/14 as long as payment is received prior to 2/21/14."

As per BRR. Please ensure to have the payment sent to me by the end of the 20th so i can in turn send the payment to BRR and have our shipment sent to us in time.

Thank you!!

Quick Update:

As per BRR correspondance:

"Should take 5-10 business days. Canadian shipments shouldn't take too long, but 1-2 weeks is expected.

Just to confirm, I will be on business and family travel during mid-February (this and next week). We won't be able to prepare your shipment until after I return as we are a very small operation, so I just wanted to keep you informed. I'll be in touch -- send me an e-mail when all is said and done with your collection of payment and submission of PayPal invoice.

Daniel @ BRR"

I have received payment from everyone, paid our invoice, and emailed BRR. Now it's just a matter of patience

I will update you as soon as I received the package

Thanks everyone for the prompt replies to my emails

After several request for an update for the last few days, i have finally received a reply from BRR. Please see our correspondence below for our group buy update.

"
It has been 2 days since the promise ship day and I still haven't heard anything back from you since I forwarded you your payment (well beyond your requested payment date). This is completely unprofessional and not at all acceptable. Please respond IMMEDIATELY!!

Manh-Tu,

I understand your frustration, and apologize for the delay.

Your order is going out first thing Monday morning 3/3. I've been out of town for personal reasons during the better half of February and as a result have been unable to fulfill previous orders at a reasonable time frame. Since this is a one-man show, at times it is challenging to balance my professional life, my personal life, and my "hobby-life".
Please understand that we are NOT a large corporation, rather a hobbyist with a passion for reefing.

Regardless of the past delays, I can guarantee that your package will leave my hands and into the post-office by Monday 3/3.

Thank you for your understanding.

Another option is I can refund your order in-full as you are so unsatisfied. It's up to you.
