Last couple weeks they've been a little slower than normal to check items in -- but we're talking 2-4 days instead of 0-1 days. Sounds like it's still vastly quicker than some of the other groups reported on here.

Since switching to their new address I haven't had any problem with Amazon deliveries, so I've started ramping those back up again.

Nothing but good things to say about them.

Anyone have an experience where an item to BFMF is received but the status shown in "Return"?

Item was delivered earlier this morning and I checked the website late this afternoon. When I look at the Shipping Summary page, the item has "Return" as the status next to the relevant tracking number but no other information.

I hope/assume they'll let me know what is going on but was curious if there were other previous experiences.

First time posting here. I'm curious about the tax implications of this (not sales tax - but rather income taxes). If they do ACH into your bank account, will you have to report that as income to the IRS?

From what I know, if you earn commission then you should declare that on the returns .. otherwise the amount is a reimbursement of your purchase price so no income..

so maybe we need to have multiple laptops but basically if you use resellers address then it’s not going to scale in any way..
heck even if you use your own address to ship multiple items frequently, they will still block it with non possibility of unlocking!!

once they block it’s pretty much gone ime but ymmv.

with BB try going I store and shopping with GC’s.. I have done that and yes it takes time :-(

BFMR has been. Pretty good till date for me.. check in within 1-3 days and payout next day automatically thru ach.

They should follow up in separate email. most probably item damaged or wrong item received.

Update. 3 weeks that pointsmaker has been sitting on my coins. Not even answering my tickets.

I guess it's possible that I'm the only one, but doubtful. They have plenty of time to send out 20 emails a day with "NEW DEALS!"

It took them like 10 days to check in my last package to them. From their updates it looks like that is what its gonna be for a bit. Its taken a couple days for ticket responses on what usually takes a couple hours. I'd hit them up on whatsapp though if its been awhile on ticket w no response.

A friend mine has about 50 banned target accounts he makes his orders in the store on the display laptops, does in store pickup, and then goes to pick it up on his way out.

Just a quick note that I had two bigger ticket items from two separate delivery services go "missing" to EMB within 10 days of each other. Since I'm at least 500 orders in to various BGs and only two ever went missing ... to the same group ... in a short period of time ... y'all see where I'm going with this?

Can you elaborate? Does the delivery tracking show delivered and EMB is showing as not received? Have you already submitted a ticket and did you get any resolution? Once an item confirmed delivered to EMB wasn't marked checked in for about a week, but I sent in a ticket and then they found it or credited it me.

Exactly
Submitted two tickets - one for each item. It took them 3 weeks (almost a month from delivery date) to tell me they didn't receive item #1. About two weeks to say the same for item #2 ( this time I emailed them directly after a week since they never bothered to reply to my ticket).

I'm going through similar things with PM. How convenient that they say they don't have my 20 Mint coins that were marked delivered by UPS. Coming up on a month and I'm still out the money. I'm getting this resolved and then I'm done, at least with PM. It's just not worth the headache given all the shadiness.
I just hope everyone completely understands the risk of the BGs.

​​​​​​When you say "shipping directly" are you saying you've been shipping from your own home (or wherever) or you've had no problems getting your orders through retailers? I eventually did get an Amazon order through to then no problem but I've been seeing negative reports on Walmart and Best Buy despite them saying they have a separate address that works better for those two retailers. I hear Dell and Target are basically DOA if you attempt anything
