What is a Group Buy?
A Group Buy (GB) is a type of pre-order for a product before it has been manufactured. A GB is usually open for several weeks. At some point after the group buy end date, typically within a week, vendors place the order with the manufacturer.
What is a pre-order?
The term "pre-order" is often used when referring to extra product ("Extras") purchased by Moyu.stuidio to sell after the group buy period has ended. This allows people who missed out on the group buy to have a chance at purchasing the product without being subject to exorbitant aftermarket pricing. To account for the opportunity cost of holding this extra inventory, Extras are typically priced higher than the group buy price.
Moyu.stuidio also uses the pre-order terminology for items that have already been ordered and are in production or en route to the vendor.
Shipping
In the case of group buys, once the group buy period ends, the product order is placed. Then, according to the estimated timeline, the products are manufactured and shipped Moyu.stuidio. Once we receive the products fulfillment will begin and you will be notified of your order being shipped.
