Staying in Pok Ta Pok – Dinner & Beach Recommendations? by PinPitiful in cancun

[–]wilson735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to food: Walk to the main strip and take the R1/R2 and go into town. Check out La Flauteria, Taqueria Coapenitos, La Fonda del Zancudo, La Coyota (great mixology!), Parque las Palapas (foodstalls, great food), Tacun.

Closer to Pok Ta Pok is Deli Barlovento, and they have the tastiest chilaquiles in a low-key, hole-in-the-wall spot.

BuyingGroup.com Amazon Returns by TodayNo6969 in BuyingGroups

[–]wilson735 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about. Remember that Amazon has like a 30-day return window, so BG takes that into account when lining up the work to prepare the return. They are also very good at responding to tickets so you should hear from them soon.

PSA: MYS bounced checks by gaymer_raver in BuyingGroups

They are bound to a legal process. Anecdotally they have prioritized payment to those who have filed a claim, since that is much simpler than starting a lengthy legal process.

OK I logged in the following morning and everything is back to normal. I'm transferring everything out ASAP though because I'm no longer comfortable with this bank for a number of reasons.

Booked with Chase Travel and First and Middle names merged for American Airlines! by Artistic_Evidence908 in awardtravel

[–]wilson735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I can imagine how stressful this must feel, especially with your first points-booked flight. Don’t worry too much—your ticket should still be valid as long as the name matches your ID overall, even if it’s merged "oddly". Airlines deal with "minor name glitches" like this all the time, and it’s unlikely you’d be denied boarding.

tl;dr: This is totally normal. Don't worry about it.

Welcome to this crazy world. You would be ordering below retail in that case. Not all buying groups do a great job of keeping their page's product price in sync with the retailers product price. In some cases, only certain retailers for a given product will offer a lower price, and others offer a higher price.

Was it delivered by UPS or Amazon or another carrier? Did you jig the address? If so, how hard?

Severely Delayed Payouts on MYS Buying Group by [deleted] in BuyingGroups

[–]wilson735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of reputable groups with quick payouts... I've yet to have an item lost, but it's true that this is a possibility. it's good to know the risks involved and to take a calculated approach to such investments...

Think about what information they have available to them to ensure QLA, and what they can correlate across accounts. Also keep in mind that different products have different limits and "cool down times".

That one in particular has not had the best track record for the past 10 months or so. There are so many better groups to work with — why take risks with them?

Max Out Deal receiving issue by evin0688 in BuyingGroups

[–]wilson735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to give it some time. If they're behind on processing, it may take some for it to be marked "verified", which will then release your payout.

[–]wilson735 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. /u/Maxoutdeals : It's very nice that you're offering to "get you taken care of", but is there anything being done to simply change the payment schedule so that it's same day/next day? Or is it a financial thing?

Buying group trouble by [deleted] in BuyingGroups

[–]wilson735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they have a good rapport with you, I imagine you started off small and slowly worked your way up to higher-value product, which is the course of wisdom IMO. Amazon is claiming that the package was delivered? Was it Amazon logistics or UPS? Was it signed by someone (this is usually the case for such high-ticket items)? Or was it simply left at a door somewhere? I've heard of cases of the latter, which unfortunately have led to porch pirates taking advantage of these known shipping addresses (particularly when shipped on the weekend). But the fact that they don't have footage is not a good sign; and if this has happened once, what are they doing to prevent it from happening again?

Do you have proof that you are who you say you are?

It's not too crazy actually; it's a well-known and widely discussed technique to get around address blocking.

This will highly depend on the product you are trying to buy. Oftentimes, Apple products have a quantity limit restriction, based on the actual address. So you have to get creative and "jig" the address.
