On vacation and completely forgot about this  :? will put the list in for this upcoming Tuesday as I obviously missed this one. Let me know if anyone else wants to be added.

We need a minimum of 10 people. Each order is treated as an individual order and shipped to your door. All prices are in $US and the highest discounted price on bulk items will be given to participants. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements.

If you want to participate, please PM me your full name and your BRS account email address. If you do not have a Bulk Reef Supply account please sign up here. [glow=red,2,300]*critical*[/glow]

Group buys run Tuesdays through the following Monday. On the pre-determined Tuesday each participant will receive an email from Bulk Reef Supply notifying them that the Group Buy has started. Participants can start buying as soon as they get this email. Please wait for this email before placing orders! During the group buy week participants will log in to their own account to place their own order.

Shipping Details:

Shipping to Canada:  All Canadian orders received before Thursday @ midnight are shipped on Friday. The shipping program we use to save you brokerage fees only allows us to ship on Fridays.  Canadian orders will arrive at your door with no extra fees due. Here's how: BulkReefSupply.com pays all brokerage charges out of our pocket to UPS. We also pay the GST, customs duties, and other Canadian government fees however these are passed on to the customer via a flat 15% Canadian tax assessed at checkout on our site. In a nut shell we pay brokerage and you still pay your government fees, but you know the cost up front and there is no surprise bill presented when the package is delivered at your door. The 15% tax rate is based on the Ports of Entry our shipments pass through Canadian Customs and on the duties required on the wide variety of products we ship to Canada. Please note all prices on BulkReefSupply.com are in US dollars, not Canadian. Canadian orders are not eligible for any Free Shipping offer.


The deadline to pm me you name will be July 7th, and the order start date will be July 9th.

My 110.00 dollar order has a 55.00 dollar shipping charge to it?!?!

I think I might pass on this... It doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

What are you ordering to have such huge shipping costs? I have had a 500 $ order, 5 stage rodi unit, pellets and gfo, 2reactors, mj1200, and other ods and ends and only had 40 $ shipping.

Also, my last 300 $ ordrr was on 24 $ shipping

I can't remember my previous order exactly, and also my "status" has changed. It used to say "reef group buy" or something like that. Now it says "preferred reefer" But I doubt that changes much.

My shipping is 60 bucks for this order! Yikes!

I played with the shipping calculator.

CA / ALK + Carbon + GFO: 61.15

CA / ALK alone: 52.16

CA / ALK + Carbon: 55.43

CA / ALK + GFO: 56.66

Carbon alone: 22.95

Carbon + GFO: 27.29

GFO alone: 24.08

Is the CA/ALK kit huge or something? I can't imagine a 1 gallon kit being THAT heavy.

After the week of the group buy is done your status changes to preferred reefer until you participate in another group buy.

No idea about yhe shippihg weights. Maybe someone has an idea or contact them.

The full kit comes in a pretty big box, there are 4 plastic containers of the 2-part (never knew why they don't call it 3 part or 4 part), and two mixing jugs.  It weighs a bit, but I think size is the issue.  To be honest, you can use any 1 gallon clear jug that didn't once have gasoline in it.

Just buy the mix, and find a couple of jugs, much cheaper on shipping I'll bet.  Maybe clean out a couple of the 1 gallon jugs of lubricating jelly?  8)

That Preferred Reefer status gives you a small discount outside of normal group buy times.  You get it by participating in a group buy at least once.

2 part dry mix is 7lbs each plus shipping size and weight of the jugs, so at least 14lbs and a large shipping footprint.

Your carbon is only 3 lbs
Your GFO is 4 lbs.
So only 7lbs combined

Shipping makes sense to me when ordering over 20lbs shipped UPS from the US. Shippng does suck and for some it is not worth it. There are places locally where you can get 2 part locally, maybe royal still has some, even IA has it I think, then you can save on shipping.
