    Hey All,

    Here is how MWF does group orders. It will be easier as they will have everyone's order seperated out. Just make sure you let them know it is for the WATERLOO group order & not the DM one. Also this way they dont double sell something from WYSIWYG. For those that pm'd me orders he is holding your WYSIWYG corals for you.

    We would take the order directly from the individual. They would pay>> >> for the coral. I would accumulate the orders on an Excel spreadsheet,>> >> so that the person receiving the order would know what was coming.>> >> Then each frag container would be labeled for each person so there>> >> wouldn't be any confusion trying to figure out whose frag was whose.>> >> Basically we would take and handle all the orders separately, the only>> >> thing common would be the shipping address.

    Good morning,

    I want to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible. We have done several group buys and everyone does them a little differently.

    The first thing to do is establish a "point man" -- typically the organizing person which is also where the order is shipping to. In this case "xroads".

    The way we have had the most success is to have communication through email (customerservice@midwestfrags.com) with each individual about what you are interested in. You then decide on what you want to purchase and would pay us directly through Paypal. I can send a Paypal invoice if you need me to.

    I will them accumulate the orders by individual on an Excel speadsheet and update "xroads" every few days.

    When we ship the order we will include the final spreadsheet then print each individual their own invoice. Each container will be labeled with the frag type and the individual owner.

    Trust me -- we have butchered some multiple buys in the past and have found you can't be "too organized".

    So if this is agreeable to "xroads" this is the way I would like to proceed. If you wish to participate in this group buy, please email us your list and I will verify that we have in stock, then send you a total which you would pay to Paypal.

    I will post this in the other group buy thread as well.

    Please don't hesitate to ask questions,

    Marvin

    Sounds good Marvin

    Lets set Sunday night as a order cutoff & then we can get final arrangements & pick a delivery date on Monday that will work for everyone.

    We discussed the deadline for this group order to be Sunday. Our ship day is Monday for Tuesday a.m. delivery.

    We could take orders up to Sunday mid-day. The only problem with that is if someone ordered a zoa, paly, or lps that needed to be cut we wouldn't have enough time to frag and make sure the frag was healthy enough to make the trip. SPS would not apply because they are fresh cut. So the cutoff for items we need to frag will be tomorrow. If you want to place an order after Friday for Monday's shipment, the item would have to be chosen from our WYSIWYG or SPS section.

    Please email me if you have questions. (customerservice@midwestfrags.com)

    Ok -- with Adam's order the total is $244.00 !!

    So we only need $6.00 more dollars (I'll pay the shipping anyway) to meet the $250 minimum ... anyone else?

    >>>> I Know -- a cheap way to drum up business!

    Monday is the ship date and we just added over 100 new items to the WYSIWYG section of our site.
