By now some of you have notice that your sales thread have moved move to the Garage Sales forum or one of the sub-forums there. This is done by me. The reason being is that some sales thread do not qualify in, as I believe as, the 'essence' of what a Bulk Order is.
Bulk Orders are product orders that benifit not a single person but a group of people at one go. That is to say, if a group of people came to your shop and bought several types of items and put it all under 1 receipt they will receive some sort of benifit in terms of a discount or something. Not, that they still pay the same price as if they all bought the items on individual receipts.
So following my own guidelines, Bulk Orders should be in these 3 catagories:
MOQ - Minimum Order Quantity. You all should know what this means. And there is no such thing as a MOQ 1. 2 is cutting it close but should it be cheaper than buying 1 then who am I to complain?
MOQ is not needed for BOs that state that a single unit is at a certain price and multiple units are at cheaper price e.g. 1 unit = RM60 each, 10 units = RM40 each. This acceptable for bulking by group of people with a group order or a single buyer with large order. I'd prefer it would be group orders as not many single buyers can really buy large quantities especially on high price items there for rarely benefit from this type of BO.
Time Sensitive - This means that the orders have to be received by a certain time/date. I'll accept this if there is a price differential stated. For instantance, 2 orders gets us the item at RMXXX while 5 orders gets it at RMYYY and 10 orders at RMZZZ.
Limited Stock - This means that the thread starter has already bought a number of items at Bulk price so the savings can be passed on to you guys. Limited Stock threads that replenish their stock too quickly will be moved to the appropriate forum as it is considered fishy. Limited Stocks of 1 item is not considered a Bulk Order thread, consider the quantity like MOQ.
Please state the above condition(s) clearly in the 1st post or in the Order/Buyer's List post so that buyers can refer easily.
Please always state in your Order/Buyer list and completed/successful Order/Buyer's list:
The buyer's nick.
Quantity ordered.
Date delivered.
If you have an item(s) and are not sure whether belongs in Bulk Order post it here and I'll or some will direct you.
Any suggestions and sensible comments are welcomed.
New Rule For Bulks.
Any time a Bulk reaches the amount of RM15K of paid but undelivered orders, it will be closed until all outstanding orders are cleared. That means no more new orders and payment are to be accepted. Once the outstanding or backlog of paid, undelivered orders have been cleared the Bulk will be reopened and can continue as usual.
Should the owner of the Bulk attempt to side step, use a loophole or any other trick to bypass this set limit their Bulk will be closed, any Safe Trader Tag will be stripped (the return of which will be up to consideration) and a Dispute Tag will be issued until all paid, undelivered orders are resolved.
If the Bulk owner has 2 offending threads of this sort then all their Sales threads will closed until the issue is resolved.
Finally, any buyers waiting for 2x the max delivery date of their item or longer can choose to have an immediate refund when they request it. Failure to do so will earn the Seller a Dispute Tag and removal of the Safe Trader Tag.
