Hi Steve I have an account that let’s me buy bulk now but I am not sure how everyone does it on here monetarily. I’d like to get a bunch of people together around the area and go in on a pallet which would save a ton compared to shipping a single bag with a total cost of 55-60 bucks. The potentiality of savings could be huge!

 

[SteveHeff]

I'm in.

We've been doing group grain buys in the DC area for many years.

We had a spreadsheet to keep track of orders, and moneys due. We now use a website. We also do organized splits, which is a mixed blessing.

Moneys are collected through the group buy organizer's PayPal account. When the order is complete everyone pays him from their PayPal account using F&F and only direct drafts from their bank account so there are no delays or CC fees. When everyone has paid up, the order is placed with the supplier. A few weeks later when the order is received we gather to distribute and pick up.

5 years ago it ran us more than $60 to get a full pallet shipped, more like $300, IIRC. We now have a different supplier, and we are not bound to full pallets (40-42 sacks) anymore, and we get charged per sack for shipping, which runs only a tad more per sack, regardless of quantity.

Island lizard-

Oginme-

What would you be looking to get and I can tell you if I can get it.

 

[Oginme]

Rahr 2-row, Crisp Maris Otter, Weyermann Barke Pilsner for sure. Possibly a bag of Weyermann Munich Type II. Much depends upon the fully loaded price.

I can get

Rahr 2-row, Maris Otter crisp malting, Weyermann Munich dark, weyermann german and German bohemian.

Briess 2row would be around 45-48
Rahr 2row would be around 56-59(more expensive than I thought)
Maris otter crisp would be around 70-75
Weyermann dark would be around 66-70
Weyermann bohemian around 70-74
Weyermann German around 63-67

These are rough calculations based from if there was around 12-15 bags ordered. If there was more then it would be even cheaper.

 

[Oginme]

Thanks for the feedback on the prices. I'll opt out for right now, they pretty much match pricing at Jaspers (or maybe just a buck or two more for most, 6 to 9 more for the Rahr).

 

[MistaCitra]

If we got enough people together to get 20 bags or more on the pallet those prices would look a hell of a lot better

 

[MistaCitra]

How many people here that were interested let me know how many bags you would order for real and I will ask local HBs and collectively should give me an understanding of how many bags total. I think this will be the best approach going forward because I was giving a rough estimate on shipping that I would get charged for parcel when shipping a 50lber.

I'm interested in a group buy but those prices looked a little steep. I would expect most of that stuff to be around $1/lb or less after shipping unless the prices have gone up drastically since I last bought grain in bulk. What supplier is this?
