I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

MYS has the most complaints of all, from very late payment to not receiving items.

Thanks for updating! yeah my latest package that got checked in was also on December 7th but the carrier delivered it on nov.30. It's definitely common for them to delay scanning in due to the holiday season but i would recommend switching around between different groups and keep your order amount low just in case.

DP:
MYS just checked in my Dec 7 delivered item. It appears that they are swamped and working throughout the weekend.
and if each trackingid number their system represents a package then they've received more than 80k boxes in December.
not sure how many people are working to scan them but 80k boxes surely sound like a mountain over there.

They have never had any deals on their deal page. Neither do the other groups that use the same website design. Deals are via WA, email, telegram, or Slack depending on the group. There's some posts about it in this thread. Q4 is the busiest quarter of the year. Signing up new people is not a prority for any group. Better to start out next year and submit a new ticket/request for them to add you to their WA group or message them at 1 (718) 290-6349.

I would be careful with EMB -- they screwed me on a shipment. UPS said it was delivered -- EMB kept stringing me along for weeks saying that they were still checking in packages. Then they finally just claimed that they never received it, but over 6 weeks had passed, and I couldn't get a refund. Haven't had that problem with the other sites.

Another warning DP for EMB:
Had 2 packages delivered on December 28 and 29 containing 3 iPads in total. Still waiting for confirmation.
EMB usually checks in deliveries within a day or so, so I'm hoping it's just a holiday delay.
Update: Both packages were checked in today.

My shipment shows received and error on the order management.
opened a ticket, but no response atall since 10 days.
Message them still no response.
How did you contact them for a response?
Thanks

Trying to buy this laptop from WM on BFMR and it keeps getting canceled. I had 4 other purchases for different items go through without a problem. I guess I should stop trying after 3 attempts?

I live in a tax free state and from a quick read of this forum seems BFMR is one of the better sites?
Shipping home and then reshipping using pre-paid labels seems safer, so how can we get them to ship us pre-paid labels?

I see many deals on BFMR where they say they are paying above retail BUT when I click the link the price shown on retailer's website is more than what they show.
For e.g - today there is a deal for Apple iPad 8 - 32gb and they will pay $303and they say its $4 above retail, But on visiting the retailers website we see the price to be $319. I assume this means the price has changed since they posted and this deal does not make sense anymore ?

For me, I had an Amex offer (40% off for using at least 1 MR point, capped at $40), so I could buy it for $290 or something, even though the official price was $319.
