I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.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.

Best Buy is a no-go. Nothing works for me for drop shipping.

For WM it seems they cancel orders based on a number of factors. I'm 50/50 on cancellations with them. I could be wrong, but I think they cancel orders if others have sent the same item to the same address too frequently, because I've had success when new items are listed and less success on older items. But that is purely speculation.

To jig addresses, you can always add 4 nonsense letters before the numerical street address. And misspellings that show your obvious intent will often work.

Example:
123 Fairview St., Building 5
New Haven, CT 06501

Becomes:
DTGM 123 Fairvew St BLDG Five
Nevv Haven, CT 06501

Link doesnt work. Can you resend?

Anyone facing the issue with Amazon that shipment was cancelled due to OTP but now it is saying it is On the way back but Amazon is giving run around for Freight Forwarded excuses and now wont refund till 30 days or so. Ever after that an ticket will need to be file? Anyone has same scenario?

Good suggestion since TDB advises not to change their address.

Anyone know why there's no bfmr deals lately? Do the shipping address work for any merchant aside from Amazon?

What do you do when the buying groups claims to have not received the item but the retailer's tracking is showing as delivered? The specifc case here is UBG and Amazon. I've had them pull this before on me a couple of months ago and they've just done it again now for an iPad at $250. Do I have any recourse with Amazon?

Secondary question. Is there a credit card that protects the buyer in these cars?

Most all protection benefits have clauses that exclude items purchased for resale, so that depends on the details and how honest one would be.

Other than a charge back, there’s not much you can do. Theft is becoming a huge problem. Some accounts do get shut down with chargebacks.

The payment may take up to 10 days or longer sometimes. They also asked many proofs for missing packages. The ratio of missing parts is higher than BFMR. Only sent coins and several laptops to pointsmaker and it works well.
I'm new to this type of MS, though I've done credit card bonus signups for over ten years. Is this worth the time?

How do you determine how to optimize with cash back sites and such?

That's a decision only you can make.

There!s a learning curve and a lot of different groups. They all have different scan and payment time frames. Most deals are below cost, other than a few select groups, and there’s often issues. Lost, stolen, missing, damaged products. You may or may not get a refund. Amazon is no longer refund friendly.
