I should have read the comments here about USA Buying Group. They scammed me out of 4 packages worth about $1000. They were all delivered on different dates and also have proof of delivery. USA is saying it was never delivered. I would have paid them a visit if it was only a few hours drive ! Stay away from these crooks!

This is really sad to hear , Thanks for sharing

I’m sorry you’re also scammed by them. I was victim blamed by other posters here for being scammed by USA Buying Group for some bizarre reason.

The deal buyer late scanning
hey group , any body know how fast is the scanning process at deal buyer group , I sent them 3 different orders , it has been 5 days since the first order was delivered and still not showing in the receiving page , I hope they are just busy , I can’t imagine they lost all 3 orders

Guarantee they’re just backed up from all the Prime day deals. The discord link posted above has active communication from the owners/employees of the group.

Thank you Droff , I hope you are right

I bought a few things related to the prime day deals. It's took about 5-7 days after delivery for them to check in and another 1-2 days for the check to post.

ok, I feel better now , thanks Jsteele

Hassle of buying groups may not be worth it anymore. Had a few Airpod orders to BFMR via Costco and one of the packages they checked in only noted 2 of the 5 Airpods in the shipment. I didn’t get any email about damaged items so I opened a ticket with them. They claim they only received two and closed the case telling me to reach out to the retailer. I reached out to Costco support and they said "when incidents of suspected package theft happen we kindly ask our members to file a police report with their local precinct so that their refund claim can be properly investigated. Please file a police report with your local station along with a UPS claim and once obtained please send a copy to [email protected]. Please also include in your email your or email your order #, phone # of the police station you filed it at, the police precinct #, and the officer's name who assisted with the report."

I don't believe its BFMR although they have been extremely shady in the past. I had the same issue with costco. I receive my mail at a center that scans all packages (with the dimensions and weight). I had placed two exact same orders for the same number of airpods. One of the orders were significant less weight and only contained 1 out of the 4 airpods. The packaging was 100% sealed. I personally think that Costco has some criminal employees in their stock room that steal high value electronics knowing full well what Costco's policy is and how well they're protected. Its even more pathetic to think about considering how well they get paid as it is.

Where do these buying groups normally resell the items. Is it through websites like eBay, or they sell it overseas? I am just curious.

South America, from what I've read. Electronics are much more expensive there.

Shipping labels for Alaska residents?
 

Has anyone heard of a buying group that will supply shipping labels if you don’t live in the contiguous US? I would buy a lot more if they did! I’m wearing Amazon out!

Does anybody have experience buying items in-store locally and self shipping to BFMR?
A bg is my only viable method for ms. I currently only stick to buying items from Amazon since orders are so easy.
However, for the purposes of meeting MSR, I thought I would be able to scale up a little bit more if I could get some items locally and ship it myself. I know I'll have to eat sales tax and shipping cost, but this again would only be for meeting MSR for CC subs.
Does anybody do this? Is this actually a reasonable strategy?
