Dan's warning to DDF:
Quote from: Dan on February 10, 2019, 10:47:31 PM
I hope people realize that any buying group or anyone else that gets merchandise in advance of payment can go south at any time. That's even if you get a check at the time of delivery.
Quote from: Dan on February 10, 2019, 10:51:55 PM
X-posting as I don't want anyone to say that I never put a warning here.

A story that ended up in court - https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/DocumentList?docketId=iRcRHuyZUdOIx69D00a5XQ==&display=all&courtType=Kings%20County%20Supreme%20Court&resultsPageNum=1


Quote from: halperng on July 24, 2023, 06:00:12 PM
I am one of the biggest buyers for buying groups, I have done millions in transactions and have sent to every group there is over the past 3 years. Most buying groups are okay, some scan in slower than others, some pay slower than others - most will lose a few packages over the year. You can research and find which are better for you.

However there is a bigger problem now with Amazon itself.  Amazon in the past has been great with any problems always ready with a refund for lost packages even if it was thousands of dollars. Lately Amazon has clamped down and has tagged these buying groups addresses  in their systems as "freight forwarder" and now no longer will fix any problem you have whatsoever. Doesn't matter what the problem is, even if it shows the package was never delivered, amazon will not help you in any way. Their copy and paste response will always be "this item was sent to a freight forwarder and we're unable to replace or refund the item. We recommend contacting your freight forwarder for more details, as we don't have any more insight or information regarding this matter, For more information about sending items via freight forwarders, please visit our Help Pages: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201117950." As well the amazon drivers either must know this or have been increasingly bad at delivering packages because the numbers of packages missing has gone up astronomically. Previously you would have very few packages missing, now the past 3 months I have had 59 "lost" packages. I now have over $15,000 of loses and some guy in Delaware is probably living the life with all the stuff he stole from me. I will survive, I have made a lot more than $15,000 over the years however just a warning to others here that things are not as they used to be and it really is no longer worth doing buring groups with all the loses piling up

just saw this ad on yeshiva world for a new company called Deal and Runner.

http://www.dealandrunner.com

they are saying they are not a buying group but rather more of a direct transaction between the buyer and the dealer.... to me it sounds just like another buying group. anyone have any experience or thoughts on his?
Sounds like a buying group to me.

Please disclose if you have any interest in this game. Nothing personal but this is your first post in three years and it’s a serious accusation.
Which warehouse are you referring to? The Delaware or the Lakewood one?
I sent to Lakewood some stuff and everything was immediately scanned and it says on the site “available for payout “. Meanwhile I think they gave me a better experience than cnj. But BFMR was definitely the best before their addresses got flagged by every serious website.

One of the owners wrote that they're doing daily pickups from USPS for packages being held there, when were your items delivered?

Anyone have an issue getting return labels from Amazon if the order went to a buying group? They started offering only UPS pickups (no printable label) when the order was to a buying group. CS cannot change it. I recently received an empty AirPods box and refurbished (returned?) iPad, and cannot get them returned/refunded.

They also started this new habit of kicking the can down the road when I ask for a refund for an order that even the tracking page doesn't show as delivered, telling me to wait another 2-3 weeks and then another.

A lot of DPs around this. At this point you need to get used to just eating the cost of these types of things, and also sending packages to BGs that have some sort of "package loss insurance". Game has changed.

Sorry I wasn't clear, Amazon is the one "kicking the can down the road" and refusing the refund. The buying group agreed to wait for the label, but I don't know what happened after that. How did BFMR do it? Waited for the label and matched the RMA#? Or is there a better way?

I just used for the first time a BG, have been avoiding them, but decided for this purchase the benefit outweighed the risk.
I shipped to BFMR and it was delivered last week wednesday, still does't show that they received it, is this the normal way they operate?
THey write they process quickly and send payment that night is this accurate?
