KeysCritters Group Buy

Phyllis,
  I sent you a PM earlier this week, not sure if the PM function is not working but I have yet to get a reply from you, can you tell me if you got it?  It was about keyscritters.

Sorry Mike. It's been a hectic week. Lots of great goings on for the club.

As for the keys critters order, we've done one of these before, fairly recently. Not sure when they decided it had to be a club sanctioned event. Our last order was VERY successful with a lot of critters being ordered. In any case if there's enough interest we can certainly do a group buy on critters again. They gave us really good prices last time.

Any one up for some snails, etc (their brittle stars are the absolute coolest)?!
 
Hi,

Is this the official group buy thread? Who is coordinating it and where will the pickup be? Hopefully in the Jackson area ;)

Thanks,
Chris

Since I started this thing I am hoping that I will follow it thru and not have it taken over by the club, the whole purpose of this was so others can add to my shipment and save on shipping costs, not sure why this buy had to be sanctioned by the club but whatever. I think by now you all know that I have driving issues and thats one of the reasons I keep putting stuff like this together, just trying to save some shipping costs and save other local reefers the same. I emailed keyscritters and they told me that I could only call this a "group buy" if it was sanctioned by the club, then I contacted Phyl to make sure it was okay to do this. Apparently, if this "group buy" sticks and we get 300.00 order together, we will get more of a discount. That being said, I want to make sure that I will be doing the order and have it shipped to me, you can pick up any additions at my house, very easy to get to, in Whitehouse Station NJ, I have plenty of room in my display and my QT for any additions. Maybe others who have done groups with me can chime in about experience, I am not looking to make any monies here, just to help local reefers. Someone with club athourity, please let me know if this buy is still as stated above. BTW, I had a hectic week as well Phyl and I appologize if I "pushed" you in my post.
Great weekend all!
Mike.
BTWX2....I find the hermits a little expensive at keys but they might do better if we get a good sized order together.

I think for the last buy, they shipped to two locations, one north and one south. I would imagine that if we got enough of an order together they may do the same this time around. Whitehouse Station, although beautiful and "easy" to get to, is a tad bit out of my way. That being said, if we can get split shipping, or set up some meeting points and network the stuff further south, !!! IM IN !!!
 
Oh well. Whitehouse ststion is too far for me but if anyone in the Jackson area is ordering and wouldn't mind picking up for me then I'm good for about $100.I guess I'll just wait and see. I would do a south order but Ive been battling FW's and don't want to infect anyone by holding them in my system.
 
Just checked the Keyscritters site and I'm ready for $100 dollar order. Where do we stand on the joint venture???

Mike,

The NJRC sanctioned buys are done by officers. If you want to go ahead and add some people to your order you should feel free to though. NJRC will do a critter buy in the near future for those interested in a club sponsored group buy.

Thanks,
Phyllis
