I agree. You have to be willing to float with them.

Unlike buying groups, they don't actually want the products, they just want images of the product and its serial number for research purposes to counter counterfeiting. I end up with the product, which I always return for a full refund. This of course means I don't end up with any net spend, but it's still a great deal on its own.

Sounds interesting. The link that you provided does not work. May you double-check? Also, wjat do you mean by the "counter counterfeiting?" Is that a legal activity?

For those of ya'll buying for MYS, when was the last time you received payment (when was it requested)? I have a few payments that are a little over a month since I requested that haven't been paid out yet. Unsure if the holiday shutdown in early April is delaying payments, as usually they pay out within a month.

My payment request on 4/5/23 is not yet fulfilled.

That's close to being 2 months! Delay or not, it should never be that bad. I would Never buy for them again!

Your eChecks are probably on the 2022 server.

They are not actually.

I haven't done much buying with them comparatively since last year, but my payouts with them were consistently a month just like you. I'd definitely be asking where it's at after 2 months.

Anyone experiencing missed package check-ins for BFMR? More specifically with secondary addresses?

I have with them Over 12k in outstanding balance and they send 1 check at a time and week between each check, they are getting worse by the day I'm finished buying for them.

Similar boat, it's been over 5 weeks from when checks were requested.

it’s been a long time since I paid out within 2 to 3 days. Maybe when they were new. Now it’s 10 business days typically give or take.
