Big Fireworks “2009” BUYING GROUP sign up for Pyro Universe members

[sparky]

All members of this group will receive Exclusive Pyro Universe Pricing for everyone. No minimums, you may purchase one at a time or as a group. Buy whenever you want, this just makes it easier for everyone.

The two biggest differences in this years group are scheduled price discounts and how to order your fireworks. It would be appreciated if your order would be complete at the time of submitting your order. The Web Site will be accurate indicating what is in or out of stock. All orders must be placed online.

We will also get together for a scheduled group buy May 16 2009 at the Distribution Center in Lansing Bigfireworks will have food, refreshments and other fun things going on. We are still putting together the events that will take place at the group buy and will be announced at a later date. If any of you have any ideas you'd like to share for the meet, please PM me. We may schedule more than one Saturday for a group meet but we will start with this one on the 16th.

Also as a group we can arrange splitting of cases to get more variety.
*Reminder Bigfireworks will sell whole cases only any splits we do will be on our own.
I will set up a case split thread separate from this one, when it gets a little closer to May for case splits at the May 16th group meet at the distribution center. UPDATE the link to the splits thread for 05/16/09 at the distribution center is http://www.pyrouniverse.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=18802

To get signed up just follow these easy steps. If you are a current Group Buy Member you still need to follow the instructions below.

Step 1: PM or email Sparky (mark@bigfireworks.com)- your email address, real name, user name for Pyro U & working phone number (in that order please). If you have an established web account user ID and password with bigfireworks.com indicate that in this correspondence to me and your done. *I don’t need to know your bigfireworks user name and ID I just need to know that you have an existing account.

If you don’t have an established web user name and password with bigfireworks.com then follow Step 2 (below) and also indicate in the PM to Sparky that you are completing step 2because you don’t have an established account yet.

Step 2: Set up a new account, go to bigfireworks.com. Click on Log In located in the upper right area of the home page then click on New Wholesale Customers Sign Up Here located in the center top area of the new page. It opens an account and contact info, billing info and shipping info page please complete the following requested information and click on Create Account. In the account and info section it asks for an approximate dollar amount of initial order, it doesn't matter what you put in this area. Within a few days of signing up for the buying group your bigfireworks web account will have the Pyro U Pink List pricing updated accordingly to your account. So as you go from item to item the case price that appears under each item will be accurate including the correct percentage of discount. If you print a price list from your web account it will be the regular pink list prior to the discount.


***UPDATED ORDERING INFORMATION

Ordering and Web Account Information

All ordering for the Pyro U Group will be done online this year, go to bigfireworks.com. This is why it is mandatory to sign up this year even if you have purchased in the past so your account can be updated with the correct Pink List Pricing. Below will be some helpful hints for navigating on the site. This may be a little boring for some and or useful for others.

Once you have an established web account please verify that you are on the correct Price Level, it should be the Pink Price List. You will be able to tell this by looking at the right top of the page. You may also download your pricelist for reviewing and or printing. This Price List will indicate the true Pink List Pricing prior to any discounts. As you go to different categories and items, the item description will reflect the retail individual price and the wholesale case price. This wholesale price is the Pink List Price less the current Price Discount, (10% until 05-16-2009 this will change accordingly to the Discount Pricing Schedule). This will allow you to complete your order with the correct pricing.

When ordering you can make a list of desired items a few different ways, add to Shopping Cart or Wishlist. The Wishlist option will allow you to play with you order until you ready to complete it. These items in your Wishlist will remain in your account until you delete them or move them to your Shopping Cart. When you’re ready to place your order you may move these items from the Wishlist into your Shopping Cart or you can make a fresh order If you know exactly what you want.

Step #1 - Go to the category list you want (200Gram repeaters, 500 Gram Repeaters…) then select the individual item, select item quantity and click on it then click the Add to Cart or Add to Wishlist tab. Do this for all the items you want. When you’re done click on the Checkout Now tab. This will take you to the Shipping Options page.

Step #2 - Select the desired Shipping or Pickup tab.

Step #3 - Go to the #1 Shopping Cart tab, located in the top section of the page. Put in the notes area when you would like to pick the order. If you are having your items shipped you will skip Step #3 and proceed to Step#4, someone will contact you to complete the shipping arrangements and confirm shipping costs.

Step#4 – Go to #4 Payment Info tab, located in the top section of the page. If you are paying buy credit card enter your credit card information or If you intend to pay with cash (or check) when you pick up your items click on I want to request a quote tab. Continue by checking the box that says “I agree to terms and conditions below” and click Continue Checkout.

Step#5 completes your order by clicking the Place Order Tab. Whether you’re having your items shipped or picking them up someone will contact you to confirm the order.

Congratulations you’re done with the ordering :-)

If you live to far away to drive to Lansing MI, you can have the fireworks shipped closer to you. They have very competitive shipping rates. If there are several of you from the same area, you can form a "sub-group" and group your order to have it all shipped to one place (this saves a ton on shipping fees).

Below is the new Exclusive Pyro Universe Buying Group Price List. The pricing will be offered in the following pricing discount time periods:

Purchase or pay for your order before or on the group buy date 5-16-2009 and receive 10% off all prices.

Purchase or pay for your order on or before 6-7-2009 and receive a 5% discount

Apparently they made the decision to use it a while back, that's how I spelled it until earlier this year, some people still do. Good thing I trademarked it!

[ck89]

[RudyG]

I'm in again this year too. PM sent.

Thanks again Sparky for all the hard work you put in, to set this group buy up.

The prices on the web(when upated) will be PINK list, but will not take any %ages into account...correct? That will be accounted for when we show up?

Thanks..pretty sure that's what you meant..just making sure before I start browsing.

Your web accounts will be updated with the Pink list soon. And yes your calculations of the discounts and time periods are correct.

I will also put together a spread sheet that will have a column for the discounts so you can use it to put your order together prior to ordering. This sheet will also have a section for similar effects and or a rewrap of the item. With time maybe we could add a video link also.

The price list will be tweaked as they added a ton of new items this year, I found a handful of errors also.

PM sent....

The distribution will be moving in January to Lansing. So they will continue working from potterville until they move.

For those of you familiar with face book their are a ton of videos and pics for 2009 on Bigs page. just go to the bigs website and link to them. Some of them are not on the list yet, and some of them have changed. Ex. Crazy Bitch looks like it is now Domestic Problems . I have been searching the list by the product codes.

Would it be wrong if I got the new vids from the facebook site and added them to the Product Demo videos here on PU? I don't want to step on any toes but it'll give me something to do today.

[Brantrock Bandit]

Do I have to attend the group buy in Lansing to pick up my fireworks order or can I receive these prices, and have them shipped out to New Hampshire? Even without going to the group buy meet?

Thanks Bandit

The product will be in Potterville Dec 31st-ish. I would recommend contacting Tom or Eric, in advance for a pick up around those dates.

Anyone may request shipping as long as its a friendly state to ship. You may also buy anytime you want. The group meet is just a day to visit as a group, Its a good time.

Hi Bandit - I think we discussed last year about a southern NH group buy to help divide the shipping costs to something reasonable. We should get a few more people together and get something together for the spring.

Anyone who wants to place an order and pickup in southern NH can PM me. I still don't know what shipping costs will be to our area.

-Mark

[pyrosatan]

I think the case packing on the liberty shot shell is wrong it says 12/6 but the one I tested there where 12 shells in a box.

any idea when the reloadable mines and comets are coming in.

I thought about doing it the second I saw them but then figured it was not my place to put them in. I am sure someone a little closer to bigs will take care of that. jmho (Eric, Sparky etc)
