Dear members

Singapore Reef Club (SRC) was started as a "Free to Join" Forum for all hobbyist with the same interest and passion in reefing and to provide a place for members to share tips and knowledge in this hobby. It will always remain “Free to Join” forum to fellow hobbyist with the help of the site sponsor supporting us.

However, as we grow bigger, we will have to invest in our own server, bigger space and bigger band width to cater to the ever increasing membership. This wouldn’t be deem possible without the support of sponsors in our community.

There has been many occasion where we discover the Bulk order has been abuse where members have turned into dealers, sub-dealers, or parallel importing brands or products etc . Singapore Reefing scene is relatively small, and we do not wish to see personal gain affecting the business of local LFS or company here. The orginal idea of organizing a Bulk Order (BO) is for us to save money by sharing shipping charges among members, and it is not for the purposes of personal gain or disrupting local businesses here.

To prevent such situation, we have therefore decided to segregate Bulk Order into two different groups: Personal Bulk Order (PBO) or Commercial Bulk Order (CBO) .

The organizer of the Personal Bulk Order (PBO) will remains free as long as organizer of the Bulk order is willing to produce proof of costs, freight charges ect with no substantial markups or personal profiting. It should be use to share / consolidate shipping cost among members to benefit everyone and not for personal gain. If there is any additional charges / fees that incur during the arrangement of the Bulk Order, it has to be announce clearly on your thread.

Members whom is not our current site sponsor can also apply to have their product / services posted subjected to approval. However we will be imposing a small charges per thread-per item-per month basis for all Non Existing Site sponsor for organizing a commercial Bulk Ordering in this section.

(CBO) posting will remain free to all existing site sponsor for their own pre-order sales or bulk order if they wish to.

All approved threads will be tagged as follows:

<CBO> - Commercial Mass Order

<PBO> - Public Mass Order

These standard rules will apply toward this Bulk Order section :

1. No personal commercial sales are to be done other than within this Bulk Order Section.

2. Organizing of PBOs & CBOs are to be done in this section only.

3. Authorized existing site Sponsor advertisers is allow to use this section to organize their own Bulk order or pre-order sales.

4. Other circumstances will be handled in an ad-hoc basic. All postings/threads violating the rules will be removed without prior notice.

5. Organizing of Aquarium and or non-aquarium related products is allowed .

6. We reserve the right to remove any thread immediately if any of our existing sponsor feel that their business is affected by any of the Bulk Order here.

7. For organizing of personal Bulk Order (PBO) only one items for each thread is allowed. Please start a new thread if you have various items.

8. All new threads in the Bulk Order Section will have to be validated first ( Approved by the admin ) prior to being listed here. This is to avoid conflicts between advertisers and the forum, and to ensure that the thread started follow all the rules of this section.

9. For PBO, it is the thread started responsibility to ensure that every participant of the BO share the cost equally and no one is contributing to anyone's pocket without anyone knowing it. Members taking part in the Bulk Order is also to ensure the creditability of the thread starter as SRC will not be reor any loss / agreement which result from this personal Bulk Order.

10. For CBO, it's the thread starter responsibility to ensure he/she delivered as advertised.

11. Only items which is current not carried or sold by our site sponsor is allowed.

Interested individual party who wish to start a commercial Bulk Order , please contact the site administrator directly via PM or email :
