I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.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
  1. Pointsmaker - pointsmaker.com - Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick same day most often via echeck once item is checked in
  2. MYS Buying Group - mysbuyinggroup.com Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick once item is checked in echeck
    MYS has the most complaints of all, from very late payment to not receiving items. Many people have given up on MYS.
  3. USA Buying Group - usabuying.group same as others regarding loading the tracking number. slowest payment of all. alerts come via whatsapp and email and response time is medium to issues
  4. YRCW - app.yrcwtech.com same as others alertss comes via whatsapp - payments can be slow. response time to issues are pretty quick via communication thru wahtsapp to owner
  5. Buy For Me Retail - The best. buyformeretail.com deals are posted on page. offers sent thru email. payment sent ach when they are checked i
  6. EMB - embdeals.com same as above - a great one as well. alerts via whatsapp. payments can be requested same day and will arrive same day. lots of offers last amazon prime.
  7. EMB - From late 2021 through August 2022, Several reports of missing packages, more complaints than most of the other groups. Buyers Beware.
  8. TheDealBuyer - thedealbuyer.com - Seems to be very new to the game. Not using whatsapp, but Pushover to send deals.

EMB slow for me too this week

Last week EMB was really fast for me. Not so much this week. They finally processed an iPad that was delivered on Monday today. We'll see if any of my other packages get marked as received today.

Just wanted to let those of you who are also waiting on EMB to process your shipments, it's not only you..

Same day payment from BFMR. Probably not as busy as the other groups that went heavy for Prime Day, but my experience with them continue to be the best among the ones I use.

Update: half of them marked as received today. Also got response on WhatsApp that all of them should be scanned in by Sunday. I guess they are just slow.

Exact same thing to me. That's why I was worried

BFMR is always fast and responsive. But not many items they are buying compared with others I believe

Good to know. I have 3 more packages from earlier this week that I'm waiting on, so far only the 1 scanned in today. At least it was the most expensive one

EMB seems to have lost another package of 3 laptops (arrived July 13). This is the second time they "lost" a package for me now, anyone else having this issue?

Not personally, but I've seen 2-3 other reports of the Acer laptops delivered on 7/13 not being checked in and EMB saying they didn't get them.

So there's no recourse, we just have to take it?

Probably the only recourse is calling the seller and trying to get them to give a refund. Other than that a charge back would be the last resort because you'd most likely burn your account you have with the seller

That’s typical. They’re slower to scan and pay than some other groups but faster than some.

Does BestBuy always cancel orders for buying groups? Any way to get around it without ordering to a home address?

This is exactly what I also want to ask. All by orders from BestBuy were cancelled since roughly one year ago. Before that, almost all orders went through.
