Anyone ever use homeschool buyers co-op?

[chasingbutterflies]

I am curious if anyone has used the Homeschool Buyers Co-op that Cathy Duffy keeps advertising.

Can anyone give me any info related to this?

I have purchased through HSBC quite a few times and I have had no complaints so far.

I always buy Memoria Press products through them since they are 25% off. I have bought a variety of other products through them as well, and have always been pleased with the service. As an added perk, you can get bonus points with purchases, so with the points I accrued buying MP products for this past school year I got a free subscription to the Happy Scientist.

I buy from them all the time! It's a great resource! :)

[ByGrace3]

All the time. :)

[KarenNC]

I've bought several items through them and been very happy.

[Myeightkiddies]

I have purchased several items from them over the year. There has been no problems at all.

[MomatHWTK]

Far too often. LOL

[deannajo]

Yup - for years and years - no complaints!

[momma2three]

Far too often. LOL

 

 

Pretty much this ;)

I've purchased from them once, and had a great experience. I like the fact that you can commit to purchase something only if enough others join so that the price drops to a certain amount.

They have sales that periodically appear and disappear, so it's good to have a vague idea of what they offer because it changes.

[NittanyJen]

All the time. In the rare event of a problem (lower price found elsewhere, a subscription hiccup, etc) they respond pretty quickly. They offer pretty reputable stuff most of the time.

I think the real question to ask here is who hasn't bought from them. Probably only you. :D

 

But all kidding aside, I've used them several times and it's been great.

[QuirkyKapers]

I have used them for several items. I have never had a problem with anything.

[Ecclecticmum]

I live there....jokes.

 

I've been a member for ages, and purchase off them every now and again. I have the newsletter sent to my inbox, and look through that when it comes, but every now and again I will still go to the site and check what they have.

 

The only con is that some of the items (usually the ones I want the most) are US only. (Like Looney Tunes Phonics, PBS Kids, etc)

[Seeking Squirrels]

I love HSBC. I check there often and have purchased several times.

[houseofkids&pets]

I'm another customer. No complaints!!

[blessed3x]

I have purchased from them many times over the years. Another happy customer who will be buying from them again. :thumbup:

[Forgiven]

I buy through them all the time too.

[KristenR]

Another happy customer here. I generally use it to get all the fun extras and supplements.

I guess I'm the only one that ever had an issue. I bought RS Math a few years back, the one and only time they they had them on special. They lost my order and I was told tough luck they wouldn't honor it. At first I couldn't find my confirmation email, so it was a bit understandable however when I did find it and sent it to them as proof they just ignored it (it had been so long I had deleted it and had to dig through my email trash to find it). That deal was a huge mess though all around. It really messed up our school year, as it pushed back our start time waiting for it to ship and then waiting for a response from then and finally just ordering it myself.

I've used them several times. Besides draining my budget, no problems lol!

This is a great resource! You can track current sales and those on the horizon, especially for those who want to budget curriculum. I have purchased numerous items and have been very pleased.
