Glad i stuck to lower end items to start but sounds like these groups are definitely not worth the time or money investment.

Just wondering...

How much money did you lose and did you insure your package in case of such an event?

$45, and it ships directly from Amazon to them so I'm not sure if I'd qualify for anything, especially in the case of shipping to a buying group. MYS claims they have signs saying "don't leave packages here," and that they're going to try to get CCTV but I plan on following up with UPS and/or Amazon to try to get my money back if that's the case.

Do you guys use a prime business account to get larger quantities shipped?

WM is definitely getting harder and harder to get orders through and there isn't much rhyme or reason. Some times an order will go through on my actual wm account, sometimes it only goes through checking out as a guest with a burner email, sometimes one bg address works and another doesn't, etc. I don't try too many different cards because I only work on a few ms at a time. For me it's worth a couple goes if it's a 300-1000$ item but I don't spend all day at it. Amazon I think by far is the easiest for me if you're only doing low quantities.

all of my Amazon Prime deals have been getting canceled that are non-Amazon products. Need to figure out a trick to get some through.

Is MYS still legit? Its prime day so thinking about doing a bunch of orders.

dr0832 Jun 21, 2021 11:25 am

Yes, this is ridiculous. At least 50 orders have been cancelled for me by Amazon.

Do you have more than one account?

dr0832 Jun 21, 2021 1:27 pm

I'm just using one for the orders. Not my personal account. Is it better to have several accounts?

sempervivum Jun 22, 2021 7:18 am

Does amazon flag you? I ordered about 3k of laptops, tablets, drones for bgs on my personal amazon and everything went through. Nothing was cancelled but I wonder where the threshold is.

someone needs to update the wiki

Apparently, I had to voice verify with someone from Indian team at Amazon before they would let many orders go through. The problem I have found is if I order the max, say 3 units, they sometimes cancel the order. then I try to order 1 unit and it says I am over the max, even though I haven't ordered any because the other order was declined. It seems their system just registers it as if I have already ordered.

I normally have a good response/luck with BFMR, but as of last week my shipments are not being

My “missing” item, has anyone has experienced something similar, recently?

I haven't had that at all - everything I've shipped to BFMR in the last two weeks has been tracked same day or at worst next day if it arrived later in the day. For me, TDB is lagging - they haven't tracked any of my packages that delivered 6/22 or later but I assume they're just behind.

Noticed that BFMR hasn't "received" any of my delivered packages since 06/22, but figured they are slammed due to Prime Day and just being patient. Otherwise, it's usually 24 hours after it is delivered (minus weekends).
