A group buy is when a member/vendor is prepared to take the time, trouble and administration for a group of members to get hold of vaping stuff at a better price.
- It must be not for profit.
- Realistic estimates must be included in your offer.
- Cost may only include actual cost of the stuff bought, actual Customs charges and actual courier charges. Nothing else. Not your time, phone calls, data costs, repackaging costs, etcetera. You are doing this out of the goodness of your heart and as a service to the community. If this does not work for you, register as a supporting vendor and do "Pre-orders" for members.
- Totally transparent to all involved. All costs included as per above must be fully documented and recorded in a spread sheet detailed for each buyer. All documentation must be available at the request of any participating member or any administrator.
- Outside of fraud, recklessness or gross negligence, the risks are on the shoulders of each participant according to value bought. For example, if an item does not work properly, you cannot look to the Group Buy Co-ordinator, unless he/she volunteers to help. Thus, you get vape stuff cheaper and without trouble, but you have more risks as would have been the case if you purchased from a vendor.
