If you are already on the website WELCOME!
Welcome to 2025 !!
2024 Sucked, 25 is going to bang, so lets get right into it !
GCBC Turns 20 this Year! Yes, folks, we have been around for 20 years now. When I think about that, it's just crazy, but here we are.
As part of the Celebration of turning 20, I am going to be giving away gifts to random coffee buyers, there will be a separate thread on that which you can read and get more info about right here: https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=22590.0 (https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=22590.0)
Only other major change is that I will have a Topic on the board now where I will post discrepancies at. Using pay pal, e-mail, forum posts etc seems to have issues at times getting in contact with folks so I am going to put a dedicated link on the website for you to check if there are any problems with your package.
To check if your order has any issues, you can click BELOW to go check.

If you are new here, please take a minute to read the following. I really hate the wordiness but HAVE to do this to protect us from those who would try to cause trouble.
Remember
AT ANY TIME EVER
That you have any questions, How To?, Where Do?, Which Way?, Where At? and so on.
PLEASE ASK !
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
New Coffees are going to be displayed on their own individual threads. The thread will contain notes about the coffee, a link to the Cupping Notes for that coffee and any other information concerning the coffee that might interest you or be needed. The coffee thread will ALSO contain the commitments from OTHER members and other comments and questions they may have as well.
Along with the Coffee Listed there will be a Price Listed:
Please pay attention as different distributors will sell their coffee's in different modes. Some only sell in 5 lb or 10 Lb lots, while others such as myself may allow you to order as little as a pound at a time.
Also remember that different distributors are DIFFERENT PEOPLE, so you can NOT mix one order up between two distributors, you will have to do 2 orders since each shipment will be from different origins.
When you see a coffee you like, back up in the thread and COUNT from the last Pounds left verification, THRU how many other people who have ordered ahead of you, up to YOUR POINT to see if there is any of the coffee left. If there is coffee left and you want some, POST IT. As an Example: I want 5 lbs, thank you. I'll take 10, I'll take 20 if it's still there etc.
If all you want is just that one coffee, then click the one click link to be taken directly to Paypal and follow the directions for when you get there.
If you want multiple coffees in your order then proceed as follows.
Do the amount verification / post for each coffee you want to get, and when you are done shopping:
Add up ALL of your coffee prices, and the number of pounds of coffee you ordered.
THIS IS YOUR COFFEE PRICE.
Next, look at the shipping table and pick which shipping method applies to you. Shipping goes by weight.
Look up where YOUR ORDER falls on the chart and
THIS IS YOUR SHIPPING PRICE.
Add these two prices together and.
THIS IS THE TOTAL YOU OWE FOR YOUR ORDER.
Next step is you goto Pay Pal.
Once you have logged into your pay pal
*** VERIFY THAT YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS AND CONTACT INFO IS CURRENT AND CORRECT !!! ***
Unless specifically told otherwise on THAT ORDER, I will ship to the address you have on file with pay pal.
If there is a problem with an order I will typically reach out via Pay Pal's Messaging App if it is available, if not there, I'll use either a DM in the Forum or an E - mail sent to the name you provided to Pay Pal.
I WILL ALSO POST A COMMENT IN THE ORDERS / ISSUES SECTION OF THE FORUM. CHECK HERE FIRST IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!
https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=22460.0 (https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=22460.0)
If you pay using Friends and Family, or using the Pay Pal APP to pay for your order, pay pal often does NOT include your shipping information with the payment, so PLEASE make sure YOU included it!
When you are selecting how / from where you are paying for your coffee, there will be a little box on that screen where you can put notes, instructions, etc. Include your address in there. If you can not find this box or it is not interacting properly on your phone you can always send me an e mail as well with this information, or send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE IN THE FORUM with your shipping info.
ALSO MAKE SURE that you include your FORUM NAME on your order as well.
This way if there is an issue, I can try to reach out to via a DM.
We currently have OVER 2000 members in our family, so I do not always remember that Jonathan Rodwell the person - uses the Forum name Bean Buddy etc.
I do NOT keep personal records of people's contact info, so you MUST VERIFY that this is accurate with EVERY ORDER. I have a number of you who seem to move every few months. If your beans end up at an old address because you did not verify it properly, then all bets are off whether you will see your coffee, and this will be YOUR responsibility to fix the mess.
If there are issues with your order I will make a good faith effort to contact you concerning this and try to FIX the issue, before just issuing a refund.
Paypal does NOT REFUND FEES Anymore !!
If you get a refund due to an issue with an order that was not my error, you may lose up to $5-10 DOLLARS from the price you sent.
SHIPPING:
I will be using UPS as much as possible, ONLY using the Post Office when absolutely necessary.
If there is some reason you HAVE to have the mail man for your order. YOU MUST, state this BEFORE you order and a price agreed on BEFORE you place your order. The post office's prices to ship to you WILL BE HIGHER.
Prices listed for shipping are only good in CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY up to 15 Lbs.
If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, one of the US Territories and want more than 15 Lbs per order, then you must ASK FOR A PRICE FIRST.
I will ship coffee to Canada and Out of the USA, however shipping is VERY EXPENSIVE. Ask and agree to a price BEFORE making any payments for coffee.
Once a coffee is paid for, posted for and everything looks good, I will process your order as quickly as I can. Typically I try to get orders out within a few days max HOWEVER, at times there may be delays. If you have ANY questions about a shipment please feel free to ASK. I prefer DM's for this.
*IMPORTANT*
Although I can not stop you, I kindly ask, that any personal information, you ONLY send me in DM's, and please do NOT post this stuff in the public forum. It is for your own safety that I am asking this.
Problems With Orders
Occasionally there will be a problem where an order gets lost, damaged, sent wrong etc, and we have to deal with that.
Please CONTACT ME HERE FIRST! to attempt to fix any issues.
If there is ANY issue with your order that you are going to claim on, think you may claim on, going to want 'fixed' etc.
YOU HAVE 14 DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER TO FILE THE CLAIM !! Receipt = Delivery Agent saying package was delivered.
(Obviously for lost packages you did not receive and this is a different situation, but for claims on packages received)
After 14 Days, you are on your own if you don't let me know there is a problem with your delivered package. I have had people order coffee, throw the box in a closet when it arrived and literally 10 months later, open it, say- oh there's a problem, I want my money back! NOT happening anymore !!
If it is a Damage claim, YOU will have to work with the Carrier as well. They WILL need to see pictures of the Damage, so please have numerous pictures from a few angles to show them exactly what happened.
If you are going to submit a Damage Claim, you MUST take pictures of the Damage BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PACKAGE. If you are claiming damage and you tore the package up already, then go to take pictures, they will probably DENY the claim. Take Pictures BEFORE opening the package, and Take pictures of the Contents AFTER you opened it to show the Loss / Damage you are claiming.
If the claim is for a LOSS, ie, the package never made it there, then most of the times I can take care of Most of that on my end however you Might be asked for additional information from the carrier to honor the claim.
YOU AGREE to Co-Operate with any claim process' in order to honor any claims you make on a package, or your claim may be denied.
If you do NOT agree to co operate in getting a claim settled, then do NOT order coffee from me.
No matter what the problem you may have with an order is, I ask that you PLEASE contact me FIRST. Often times I can simplify process' and help us get it settled a lot faster than if you go it alone. (Been down this road many times sadly, so am fairly familiar with how all this works)
*** MISC ***
If you have a complex order, are ordering multiple coffee's, a lot of coffee, etc, or simply want to verify a price ASK and I will gladly help you figure out the final price for your order.
If your order needs special attention. For Example: I prefer you ship UPS only. I need it shipped 2 weeks from now, The address is different than my pay pal address etc.
Then you must VERIFY with me FIRST. It needs to be AGREED upon FIRST, the price, and instructions.
Always ask if you are unsure of something.
============
Fraud - Please, just don't. I will prosecute and I really hate seeing someone sent to prison on interstate wire fraud charges for a bag of coffee. Ruining your life is NOT worth a bag of beans son, please, think for a moment before you use a stolen credit card or something else foolish.
* <-- this is your butthole before prison
O <-- this is your butthole after prison.
DON'T STEAL !!
*****
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
By ordering coffee you ACCEPT the terms stated above and AGREE to abide by them.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Now that we got the wordy stuffzzz out of the way.
Onto the Ordering:
For those who are just getting one coffee, I still have the one click ship links for you to click and pay for a fast turn around. Please, remember to still post in the thread that you ordered coffee. Thank you
*** Availability Issues ***
Sometimes the numbers don't always match what is shown for various reasons. If a coffee is getting close to being sold out, for example, there are only like 15 lbs left, ASK BEFORE PAYING FOR IT !
A. Post a note in the forum, I'd like 10 Lbs of this if it is still available. This becomes YOUR place holder. If the coffee IS available, I tell you so, and you pay for it and it's yours. If it is NOT available, we will see what can be done, for example, can I order another bag? is there an order that was cancelled so the beans are coming back into inventory? etc.
As mentioned before PayPal does NOT refund their fees anymore, and I really hate to see you pay for a coffee and it's sold out, and now you lose a few dollars in the refund process, or you take a different coffee instead that you may not have really wanted etc.
This also lets OTHERS know it's spoken for so they don't jump on it as well, further aggravating the situation.
Remember, popular coffees, can sell out VERY FAST. Posting becomes very important then. When it comes to crunch time, Courteous posters get served first. ALWAYS If You don't bother to post, you go to the back of the line and probably will end up NOT getting that coffee.
If you do post asking about the availability of a coffee, and are told that it IS available and you can now pay for it:
You have 3 Days from Receipt of my reply to pay for your coffee.
If after 3 days you have not paid, the coffee is then released to everyone else, and the next person in line who said, I'll take XX if it's not gone gets their shot at it.
** Onto The Goodies !! ***

You are always welcome to mix and match my coffee's when ordering them, and this new template hopefully makes it easier for you to calculate payments needed.
As ALWAYS, if you have any questions or the math is fuzzy, PLEASE do not hesitate for a second to ask me for a quote.
I strive to ship the coffee out within a few days or receiving the order (many times the next day) but many circumstances can prevent that. Holidays, Work Schedule, Huge Orders, Coffee Sold out, Hurricanes, waiting for next bag to fill your order etc. If you are in a rush for some reason, state that BEFORE you send money, because if you pay me Wednesday and then say it HAS to be on your porch on Friday, I can't guarantee that.
As always if you have any questions comments or concerns, suggestions, please feel free to Post them or send me Private Message at any time.
Thank you for your awesome support. If it wasn't for our members, we would not be here today.
