   How It Works
 
The MobShop Network is based on a committed principle: discount prices should not be the exclusive privilege of large-volume buyers. Thanks to the Internet, these preferred savings, once only available to large businesses, can now be put into the hands of individuals and small businesses making single purchases—customers like you.

The MobShop Network of websites pools large groups of individual buyers together from all over the Internet, enabling each of you to acquire the products you want at substantial savings. These products are featured in Buy-CyclesSM, limited-time offerings designed to accelerate the group buying process.

The Buy-Cycle

The Buy-Cycle is a proprietary process that enables us to assemble the greatest number of committed buyers together for the lowest possible price our suppliers can offer. During the brief period a Buy-Cycle is in force, the price for any item you select can only drop as other buyers join in the Group Buying NetworkSM.

Your purchase will not be authorized until after your Buy-Cycle closes. At that point, you—and everyone in your Buy-Cycle—will be billed the lowest price the Buy-Cycle actually reached, and your product will be shipped directly.


Placing an Order

Step 1: Get On the Network
It's easier than you think. You can log in to our site directly or connect to the MobShop Network through one of our many Community Partner sites.

Step 2: Find What You Want
The MobShop Network offers three simple ways to find the products you need:
1. Click on a featured item
2. Browse our product categories
3. Use our search function

Step 3: Buy It!
Once you've decided on a product, click the Buy Now button and proceed through our quick (yet secure!) checkout process. Complete your order to enter it into our Buy-Cycle.

Can't Make Up Your Mind?
We offer potential buyers two ways to opt into our Buy-Cycles without committing to a purchase. Save a SpotSM reserves your order until the price reaches the tier you selected. (Important note: Save a Spot orders ALWAYS count towards filling your designated buying tier.) Or choose Buyer Flash to have us send you an email alert whenever a product you desire reaches a selected price or is about to close out.

Powerful Features to Ensure Your Satisfaction
Any time before or after you place your order, you can track the progress of your purchase by accessing our Buy-Cycle page, which tracks the number of buyers, the current price, and time remaining until the cycle closes for any item. Once a product has been shipped, MobShop usually enables you to track it via the UPS site depending on your product's supplier's shipping arrangements.

You can also help accelerate the success of any Buy-Cycle that interests you with Click & Tell, which emails Buy-Cycle information to friends you specify.

Guaranteed Satisfaction
We want to make sure you're satisfied with your purchase. If any item you purchase through us is ever defective, contact Customer Service at 1-800-733-5612 to arrange for an immediate replacement or refund.
