what are classifieds/Co-ops ?

 

[k3vin]

Classifieds are where members can buy, sell, trade vaping gear..

Co-ops are where people contact (usually) a manufacturer of a vaping product, and get wholesale prices on products..the person running the co-op asks if people want to join because there is usually a minimum to order to get a good price, and also to meet minimum number of product to order so it is worth it to the wholesaler.. Everyone in the co-op covers shipping charges so when all is spread out it is much cheaper to buy from wholesaler

and the manufacturer ships the stuff to each and every one ?
and each one pays the manufacturer ?

 

[k3vin]

Everyone pays the person who started the coop.. He is the only one who contacts the manufacturer.. The manufacturer ships to him, then he ships to all who are in it..
He will also charge actual shipping charges ,usually priority to each individual, but when it is all said and done.. You are getting products cheaper than retail..

Do you have to be a verified member to be in a co-op?

 

[k3vin]

yes you do..

 

[subreptice13]

did you have to pay taxes to the customs ?

 

[k3vin]

I did not personally,and I am not sure how that works,a co-op person who puts them together would have to answer that one..
