YRCW had quite a few deals, that others weren’t taking, over PD. They also have a portal now albeit different from the others.

EMB is crushing everyone and paying so fast now - I would take them over YRCW. YRCW I thought was dead and is far behind

It's not a question of taking one over the other but diversifying among buyers. There's a lot of other groups not mentioned, and I quit selling to a couple of the groups above. For new people, it's better to go with the tried and true (which you've covered), although they also have some issues. The "perfect" group doesn't exist, but depending on your priorities some come closer than others.

I don't live in the US, but I'd like to get into this game.
Are there any issues with having orders sent directly from the retailer to the buying group? I only tried this once with Amazon and USA Buying Group, and it worked well. But I've heard others have had orders cancelled?

For the love of god, don't do business with MYS. I've received such bad customer service from them, along with similar stories from other chats I'm in. I quit them when 2020 began and I have not had any headaches. I don't care what spend they would have gotten. All it takes is one bad situation where they won't own up to a mistake, and you've just lost several hundred on an iPad.

Never dealt with USA myself, but I've gotten the impression that they're a close second for being terrible.

I would be careful about EMB. They screwed me on a shipment and were very unresponsive - fortunately, it wasn't expensive and I already made a lot of money through them during Prime Day. But will never use them again.

Placed an order for an Ipad from Aamzon for BuyForMeRetail to their original address. Almost immediately it was canceled. Any workaround? Anybody shipped to their other addresses?

Been over 2 weeks since I requested a check from MYS. I always feel like these guys are right at the cusp of being insolvent. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Have they lost any of your packages they informed me at least one of mine that shows as delivered never arrived.

Kind of. After 3 weeks of waiting for my package to get checked in they told me they never received it and that I should talk to Amazon about getting a refund. Then the next day it got checked in. When was your package delivered?

The earliest one that hasn't been scanned was Oct 16th. I went ahead and cancelled a bunch of orders because of this.

I had a package delivered on 10/16 that didn't get checked in until 10/27. They told me all the 10/16 pallets would be checked in by EOW last week. They're not as organized as they make themselves out to be, so chances are your package is lost in the pile. I suggest you keep following up. Talk to the merchant too and see if you can get your money back.

Yet you and every other person that whines here there and everywhere keeps dealing with them.

These types of stories have been circulating for at least 2 yrs.

Why is this thread even in the MS forum?

This will probably be my first and last time buying for them so I don't know who you're addressing, exactly. I also don't use FB/WhatsApp so I think it's plenty helpful to bring attention to it here where there's sparse discussion on it. Whining about the whining is really productive though, thanks for your contribution.
