As interest in wet
shaving continues to rise, the B&B family is rapidly growing. As a proactive measure we have developed some basic guidelines and requirements for group buys that are designed to keep the B&B the premier gentlemen forum that it is.
If you are considering organizing a group buy, please contact a moderator via private message prior to starting any group buy post. Posts made prior to obtaining approval from the mod team will result in the thread being deleted.
At a minimum we will need to know who is going to be the focal point of the buy including contact information (full name, address, phone, email etc.), who the proposed vendor is, what the proposed product is, who will be collecting and handling money, and how shipping will be handled.
Members may not use the B&B name in any way to endorse the group buy, the products being purchased or attempt to gain special treatment or discounts from vendors.
The B&B does not endorse or guarantee member run group buys or "unofficial" cooperative buying efforts. Sales of this nature are private transactions between members of this community. Engagement in any of these transactions is strictly at your own risk and discretion.
As always feel free to PM any of the friendly
Moderators with your questions, concerns or comments.
Group Buys should meet the following for approval, in addition to all previous rules:
1) Initiated by ANY established B&B member in good standing, other than a Vendor or Hobbyist.
2) The object of the GB must be from a seller's established stock, not a "custom order". Some exceptions may be authorized on a case by case "special product" basis if approved by the Moderator Team.
Established stock might be demonstrated by prior sales of the product, availability on a website, etc. The vendor need not stock all 100% of a product, but it needs to be in stock prior to the GB.
3) The GB initiating member will be the one to facilitate the GB from payment options, to shipping, etc.
4) Group Buys are approved, but not endorsed by Badger and Blade.
5) Custom group buys that are not initiated by the B&B will not be allowed on the public boards.
