I know buying groups are still catching up from Black Friday, but has anyone been getting really long response times for support tickets from BFMR? I submitted a ticket on Monday evening, and I still haven't heard back. My last ticket during Black Friday was about 2-3 days, and I'm now pushing day 5.

A lot of other people are waiting too. There is speculation that they may be having cash flow issues, and thus the reason for the delay in scanning and subsequently payments. 🤷‍♂️

BFMR is doing ok I think but PM delayed payments are 2 weeks behind. It happened every year so it is not a surprise. They don’t have spare cash that can handle a huge surge during holiday

My Dell order seems to be lost. Did anyone here have luck with asking for refunds without inviting a lot of trouble from Dell?

PM seems to be very responsive to tickets in my experience but scan ins are about a week and payments are another 7=10 days

To BG. The address was jigged

BFMR has been a disappointment this season... I'm actually starting to get worried at this point about the remaining packages delivered to them... -.-
On the plus side EMB has been killing it... same day scans and payouts.

Seems very likely... hope they resolve it soon!

Hello folks, do you know of any BGs with Oregon addresses besides TDB?

Did bfmr lose many packages this season? I have pretty much stopped MS but they were pretty prompt when I was doing it. Other than them always paying the lowest cost, it was pretty decent.

Any one else seeing much slower payout for PM? The last request I have is almost 20 days

arl12 Jan 9, 2024 11:39 am

They didn't lose anything for me at least. Just painfully slow payouts and ticket responses. Their main differentiator was always next day payments and they haven't been doing that for past 1-2 months.

That sounds about right. They are around 12/20/23 at this time for payouts.

I received payment today for 2 Amazon orders placed on 1/2/24 and received by BFMR on 1/4/2024, fastest payout I've seen from them in awhile
