Reef Chicks Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I am working with a diver/collector to get Florida Ricordea at discounted rates. Right now, we would need to purchase 100 in order to get the rate, which is currently $8. If we purchase 200, it goes down to $7. These are all prime ricordea, with multiple mouths and in varied colors which sell at LFS for $12-15 each. Shipping would run $10 flat fee via USPS Priority, or $30 via USPS Express, if your zip code is within their next day delivery zone. Shipping would be from Florida and does not include a heat pack or an ice pack. Please reply to this thread if interested, so that all communications are kept public and there are no misunderstandings. NO PMs please. Also, please post how many you'd be interested in. I should have some pictures posted by tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 How many Stanton? Link to comment
malady Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm in for 3 pref. all different colors(purp,green,blue) Link to comment
Bonsai Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 If these were bright polyps and healthy ... I'd be down. Count me in for 10. I can send you a heat pack to include with the Priority Mail shipping to ensure they get to Michigan safely. By the way - does come with any sort of substrate in their "foot" so we can superglue?

Reef Chicks Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Bonsai, I believe they would come with a little bit of rubble (they did last time), but not much since they are only allowed to collect them with a certain amount. Malady & Stanton24 - Post your numbers please, so I can get an accurate count. Link to comment
stanton24 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sorry, I'm in for 10. Link to comment
DC Rabbit Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Very interested! Would this be an assortment of colors or can we pick and choose? Link to comment
orly20 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm interested!!! I'm in Miami!! Let me know if local pickup is available?? Thanks Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 It'll be an assortment of colors but I'll try & get you what you want... or keep away from what you DON'T want. Orly pick up would be in Cutler Bay, and since your order would not involve shipping, I pmd you my number so you can text me. Link to comment
jeffvmd Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Will the $10 priority work for shipping them to NYC? Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 I believe Priority shipping to NYC would be fine. Link to comment
GOSKN5 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I believe Priority shipping to NYC would be fine. Is there a minimum? I mean if I wanted a few (2-5) would that be ok? When would we need to pay? Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 There's no minimum. Orders need to be finalized by Sunday. I'll start taking payments tonight, after I post pictures of the lot. There may be other goodies available too Link to comment
MysticReef Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm in for 4. I would also like to send you a heatpack or purchase one from you (if available) to insure the rics make it okay to Maryland. Link to comment
mdisalvo55 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 How do we find out if we are in the next day delivery zone? Also, how much would it cost for a heat pack to be added to the shipment? If I can figure those things out I'm in for 6. Link to comment
initial_reefer Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 If I Order some could I wait two weeks to have them sent out ? Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yes but they must be paid for in advance Link to comment
Acielot Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Interested but no one will be home when mail gets delivered :/ Can it be dropped off on a Sat or is it only on business days. EDIT: I would only be in for 1 since i have never worked with them before. Link to comment
YankeePete Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Interested but no one will be home when mail gets delivered :/Can it be dropped off on a Sat or is it only on business days. EDIT: I would only be in for 1 since i have never worked with them before. They are great to work with and can handle a lot...super easy to take care of. One of those things that look better with more than one. Any chance there might be some Sexy Shrimp in the mix?!?!? Link to comment
ericchris Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 how much money are you looking to make on this group buy ? Link to comment
Reef Chicks Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Shipping would not begin until Monday Oct. 15, so deliveries would begin happening Oct. 16 forward (depending on your choice of shipping). I will not require signature on Express Mail so that post masters can leave boxes. However, to say that a particular shipment will arrive specifically on a Saturday, would be a stretch. I suppose if I ship on a Thursday, Saturday delivery is a possibility but there's a risk they get stuck in the mail till the following Monday. No sexy shrimp in the mix that I am aware of. how much money are you looking to make on this group buy ? $1.75 per shipment, built into the shipping costs (not the price of rics), but if anyone would like to pay more, I will gladly take it. Woohoo! I'll be RICH! And if you ask around, group buys are not "money makers", but "opportunities" to get something for less than normal prices. Link to comment
