BFMR: The fastest and most consistent payment out of ALL groups. Usually, the scan is done on the same day or the latest by the next day. They offer lots of deals with no limits, including a mix of at-cost/below-cost deals. However, they also have the highest amount of theft among the groups. It's quite an issue with warehouse workers in NH stealing many items. If you check Discord, you'll hear about numerous reports. I've had packages show up with just the box and no Apple items inside. I no longer purchase from BFMR because it's hard to break with the theft unless you're sending $70k+ worth of items per month. If you consistently send to them, expect stolen packages and factor that into your profit/loss calculations.

.
So when it comes to BFMR I would say the stuff with regards to theft/missing is mostly Amazon (which i would never send to BFMR) and specifically Apple. Take these products out the equation, and there is not much missing with them otherwise. Just don't do Amazon to BFMR.
