Someone has to do the leg work of collating everyone's requirements. On the last group order I did this. I contacted LB with the full spec for all rims / wheels and they provided a quote. I asked for the Tax Paid Delivery option so that everyone could see the total landed cost before they committed. Once everyone confirmed they were happy with the price and that they wanted to go ahead I then took payment from everyone. Once that was all in, I paid LB and then shared all the tracking info. The rims got delivered to my flat and then everyone collected from then.
Roughly the savings are 10% on standard rims / wheels and 20% on pro rims / wheels plus around another £40 in delivery savings. At the moment the Black Friday offer of 10% negates much of the savings on standard rims in a group buy (although a group buy is still cheaper but only around £40 ish). However, it is a much better saving on Pro series rims and in particular complete wheel builds on those rims as the 20% is applied to the whole wheel not just the rims.
For Farsports the prices are as per the two pricing documents I posted above, there is a minimum quantity of 10 rims to qualify, the group discount is better than their current 10% 11.11 offer.
