Once in a while, those groups will also claim they never received a package, and it must have been delivered to a different address.

I think that what I am saying is that while there is some attractive upside to doing buying groups, there is a huge downside as well.

Concur completely.

I've used several buying groups, but have just sent a package to EMB for the first time. Do I need to submit tracking info to them? I'm not seeing a way to do that.

I added that # to what's app and asked to join the group. I found out about them in this forum. They are listed in the wiki at the top of the page. Says they pay fast. Though reading through all the comments, they don't seem to be very liked. I've only sent one package. All of the 4 "deals" since I've joined have been at Amazon. Embdeals.Com is the web address, not very useful without an account set up.

Would you please let us know how your experience finally works out. TIA

Deciding to buy for a group with little more than an advertisement is not very smart. The Wiki comment was from whoever added them.

I've heard varying comments about most of those, though as EMB is the newer one, I've never heard a consensus from 3 or more people about them.

They list there email for EMB DEALS in the whatsapp group, I suggest you save it.

Process with emb was painless. Item was marked as received, I requested a check and it was sent the same day. My only advice is that the embdeals site isn't fully displayed on mobile browsers so use desktop mode or actual desktop to submit tracking and for requesting a check.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Pointsmaker support? I am not receiving the password reset email.

Interesting that you have MYS, with most complaints. I’ve done thousands of dollars with them and have never had any issue. Also, they’ve speeded up their payment payouts.

Do people use their personal amazon account or do they create a separate account as to minimize the risk of getting their personal amazon account shut down?

I use my personal account to order amazon products (echos, kindles, firetv, etc), I created a business account to order apple products because they would always get cancelled from my personal account.

I imagine some day I will get shut down, P2 will be pissed, but I won't really care.
