got it. i just find it weird that the first set of 30 seemed to go thru. I hope they dont pull back the orders. Anyone have that experience?

Just got this from MYS, item on amazon says it was delivered on December 28 (pretty much AFTER the crazy BF/CM period)

“We unfortunately have not be able to find it by the neighbors either, please reach out to the seller and let them know you have still not received it.”

Would amazon let me claim that so long after?

I contacted amazon, they said to call back 3 business days later, I did and they told me that I need to get a police report. I messaged MYS about it on Thursday and didn’t get any response, then out of the blue I get a receipt for the items! (The ticket isn’t updated and still says active so it doesn’t look like it’s because of that rather they just randomly found it) only issue is that prices now are lower than a month ago so I got $40 less then what I spent. I emailed them back and hopefully will get it soon

IME they always corrected the price.

Mine too. I’m not really worried as I spent almost 100k and this is the only major issue I had

How much time does everyone spend per Day/ Week on Buying for Buying Groups.

[LoLo]

Would depend on the deals etc. Prime day i spent more time than the past 2-3 weeks combined.

Can you please explain what exactly needs to be processed? A person can only request a check equal to the balance in their account. Isn't the amount being verified as you scan it in? If so, why the need for (sometimes 10 - 15 days) processing of checks if the request could not have exceeded the account balance. Unless the process involves verifying your bank accounts to ensure there is money to pay.

Just like how @tmendy226 had an item scanned in at a price that was too low (which was fixed) if the price drops and they don't update the system before an item gets scanned in they would end up overpaying. From what I have been told for every check request they verify that the numbers add up and they are not overpaying on anything. This takes time. When people request a new check for every echo dot that gets scanned in all that are doing is clogging the system and wasting time. If instead people would only request once every week or 2, or get a check for their full balance when dropping off I'm sure things would go faster

yea. they are spending time verifying that they are not overpaying for every $50 set of echos that come in... Not buying it

If they started paying on time and understood that this business is not meant to be a float of our CCs they would get single check requests.

Maybe part of the business model is to use the float on the cc....

You think?

[Don Will]

Not sure if you order for MYS but things are literally within hours or next day these days

Does not help that everything is being scanned in within a day but im still waiting for a check for 11+ days

It’s part of their business model.
