Group Order Calculator - How much can you save?
Nice breakdown! I've found the savings really kick in once you hit that 2-3 person mark. One tip though—if you're splitting costs, make sure everyone pays with BTC directly to the vendor instead of routing through one person. That way you avoid litecoin network fees eating into your discount, and nobody has to front the whole bill. Also, double-check the escrow service safety if you're using a newer vendor. Group buys are great, but the math gets messy fast if someone flakes.
One thing to add: When doing group orders with IDGod, shipping takes longer (3-4 weeks vs 1-2 weeks domestic).
So if you need them quickly, the time difference might be worth paying more for OISF/LostID. ⏰
The tables are super helpful! 📊
Never realized IDGod has such aggressive discounts for larger groups. Might switch from OISF for our group of 12.
Glad it's helpful! Yeah, Google Forms changed the game for me. You can even make it send you an email notification when someone submits so you know who's done.
Also prevents people from claiming they "already sent" their info when they didn't 😂
The Google Form idea is genius! 💡
I was just texting people individually last time and it was a nightmare keeping track of who sent what info.
