OH boy. In general, what do you do if the buying group denies receiving your package?
I provided proof from Fedex that someone signed for it.
This sounds like a big headache coming.

I'll hold off on saying which group it is for now, but rest assured I'll shout from the rooftops if they don't do the right thing.

This will likely be enough scare to get me out of this risky game.

Start making your list. It happens with all the groups.

There's been some chatter in groups about the most recent wave of Amazon delivery (not UPS or USPS) changing their tracking to include airport codes, EWR for instance. A lot of these are coming up as damaged, undeliverable, or running late. Hopefully it's a transitory issue and only seems to be affecting BFMR address.

I just got an automatic refund for an item that was ordered but was "undeliverable" even though I've used that saved address multiple times.

The same thing happened to me.

Why not just mobile deposit from the computer screen? Why bother to print.

Which bank would allow mobile deposit from screen? I can't seem to take a pic of a check on a screen and make it work

During the prime days, I ordered many things for two buying clubs. Three orders are missing (delivered, but the clubs claimed that they did not receive them). One order was from Amazon, and the other two orders were from Walmart. I am not sure what to do right now. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have already submitted the tickets, but the clubs insisted that they did not receive them and they could not do anything in this case. They asked me to contact the merchants. But the merchants said that according to their record, the items were already delivered, and they could not do anything.

Maybe you can contact the shipping company to open a case? If it is Fedex or UPS, they should be be able to open a case, and tell you exactly where it was delivered. I had a package delivered, but they did not receive. Then Fedex admitted it was delivered to the wrong place.

Thanks for the suggestion. How did you open a case with FedEx? By phone call or online chat? Thanks!

I would call in. If your unable to do that, then you can file a claim online on Fedex website.

Thanks again. That issue was resolved before I contacted FedEx. For the two orders delivered by FedEx, the buying group finally found them. They have actually received them but forgot to check them in. For the third item which was delivered by Amazon itself, I contacted Amazon, and they are investigating this case now.

Tax
 
Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question.
Will I receive a tax form or need to pay tax if I receive payment above 600 from the pointsmaker?
I am not sure if this is a kind of rebate or not.
Thanks.

Just a word of warning RE: Dell orders. I had one show up damaged to BFMR (has happened a few times) and BFMR didn't accept it. Typically Dell will refund/replace as long as I send them a pic of the damaged box. This time, they got my pic and replied back and told me I was flagged as an unauthorized reseller and Dell would not be willing to refund/replace the order.

Thankfully, they emailed it to me so I replied asking them to confirm it for me again and if they continue to play hardball then I'll do a chargeback and include their response. I should get made whole but still a headache that I don't need. Seems like Dell is cracking down and I'll likely stay away from those deals for now.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. What has been your success rate with Dell orders? Have you tried to order anything since being told you were flagged? Also, is your account enrolled in Dell rewards?

That's annoying.
I was able to place first order over the phone couple weeks ago.
placed another one last week, and that one got cancelled.
maybe i'm flagged by now as well.
