Message them on WhatsApp and ask if you can just drop them off. That's what I do with their DE warehouse since I'm only 10 minutes from there, and they don't do pickups in DE.

Sell them via a service such as CardCash or similar.

Slow month
 
I started BG's in October, so haven't been through every month yet. Is Spring time typically this slow? TDB and have a few deals here and there, but BFMR and PM basically have nothing.

This has been the worst year ever especially with all the BC deals.

Dell cc auth declined
 
Trying to make a first purchase through BFMR for the Dell computer using a GCC virtual VGC. Got a Authorization Denied message so went through the chat and it went through ok. Email came from Dell saying approved.
Fingers crossed the tracking number comes through and all goes well.

I was depositing my USA checks into Ally until they sent me an email that they will close account as it’s a personal account.
Need to have a business account.

Dang! Hope Ally doesn't shut me down. Were you keeping the money in there for a while or just transferring it out right away? I wonder what caused them to take that action.

No idea. At least they gave a warning.
This was around 2 months ago.

Yep, a few months ago Ally told me to cut it out with the BFMR ACH deposits. 15+ year customer with substantial balance. They specifically used the term 'buyer group' so it seemed pretty clear they know what's going on and don't want any of it.

YoungBubbie Jun 3, 2022 5:41 pm

Exactly. They mentioned “buying group” to me, too.

I ended up opening a Wells Fargo business account.

I only use ACH buying groups but I use a local CU account that has been open for 10+ years and gets a tiny real DD and then exclusively ACH from buying groups. Hit mid six figures last year/into this year and not a peep, so maybe that’s your answer?

I've never had a problem, but it might also help that I use Bank of America, which the main BG I use also uses, so I've never had any problems even with mobile deposit.
