I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.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

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 dont 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

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.

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.

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.

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
