What is a group order?
A Group Order is when a bigger group of people from the same country/region places one order in the store and split the costs of shipping. Usually one person will collect all the orders and payment from everyone, place an order in the store and then redistribute the orders to the buyers. The shipping fee is split between all the participants in the Group Order.
Since there will only be 1 international package sent to 1 person, and then the orders are sent out domestically within the country, this can potentially help save on shipping fees for the customer, since multiple people can split the expensive international shipping fee.
For example, shipping 1 order to the UK is $17, but in a Group Order, shipping 10 orders together might cost just $100, and domestic shipping within the UK cost $2. So joining a Group Order might mean you'll just pay $12 for shipping instead of $17. (*numbers here are all made up just for this example, and are not accurate to the actual prices).
Every Group Order has their own rules and ways of settling the payment; it depends on the person organizing it. If you find a Group Order you want to join, contact the organizer and they will guide you through it.
However, joining a Group Order can also have risks, such as potentially untrustworthy organizers who delay orders, steal money etc. So please make sure to assess a Group Order and it's organizer carefully before joining! We are not responsible for the actions of the Group Order organizer.
We will keep our socials and Carrd updated with any Group Orders if someone organizes one for the Cross Guild Merch Collab!!
