Drs Foster and Smith Discounts for clubs

Hi,

Here is an interesting link I found. Has any body from the committee pursued this?

Thanks,

I told the club about that last year and I think the reason was the club wasn't none profit back then. I don't know if anyone ever contactacted them since.

While it certainly is generous of DFS, not only does our current dry goods sponsor give us a better discount, we also get free shipping. Thats going to be a tough one to beat. We're always looking for new advantages for our members as well so thanks for the heads up. Maybe it can be parlayed into something anyway.

Yeah but our drygoods doesn't have DFS coral, TCN coral, ORA coral and all the other livestock that dr.fosters has.

I signed up NJRC for this program 6-8 months ago. LiveAquaria has nothing to do with this! I wish they did, thats why I wasted my time doing it. But for drygoods.. they can't beat our current vendor for Group Buys..

From the website, it seems that any member of NJRC can join the business partner program as long as they have basic club information at hand. Discounts are only applied to purchases of $500 or more.

Please keep in mind, NJRC is an incorporated, non-profit entity. To that end, only elected officers are authorized to represent the Club related to vendors, etc. There are a lot of rules when it comes to non-profit organizations, all of which could jeopardize our status. Conversely, we don't want to discourage members from keeping an eye out for program and such that would benefit our members. All we ask is that you bring it to the officers to be handled. Thanks for your understanding.

You're right .. it says from Dr. FostersandSmith ... no live aquaria. That sucks. It's definately not worth it then.

He may not have the corals but WIll at Aquatic Obsesssion is very accomodating in getting us just about anything he can lay his hands on. Give him a call or better visit his store.

I second that. There is very little that Will cannot get and his prices are very reasonable. I'm speaking from personal experience.
