I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.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

My second MYS order ever was "stolen" off their front door, there's nothing they can do. Seems like a poor business model to have a company based on receiving packages and be unable to receive packages but I guess that's how they make money. Glad i stuck to lower end items to start but sounds like these groups are definitely not worth the time or money investment.
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.

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.

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
Listed as received right away and in some cases I must open a ticket with them to search for
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).
