Hi Neighbours, here are the guidelines for the group!

1. Group Buys for non Ready-To-Eat meals

I do see that there are some Non Ready to Eat (NRTE) meals that have been pushed here, such as frozen food etc. As much as there is a demand, we would want to empower everyone to have a chance to bring in something they enjoy and would want to share/meet demands. NRTE stuff may be a group buy, so what I could suggest, is maximum of 1 push here per 2 days so as to garner interest. However, consolidation can be done via another dedicated group chat, joined by people who is keen and not via individual PM advertising so as to respect the integrity of the numbers in this list.

To all NRTE hosts, please indicate [GB] on your title in full disclosure if you are earning, I believe willing seller/willing buyer principal, but I hope that transparency will lead to a harmonious estate.

2. Group Buy for Ready to Eat Meals

Those are food that people may order, share cost and get fat together. For those, do share direct link to the menu, and can be consolidated here. Items may include Cakes, BBT, Hokkien Mee etc. Those RTE orders should be consolidated here.

If you're hosting, and getting delivery, do proceed as usual. However if you have some neighbour picking up for you (eg. Yihan) * please add  [Addon : 50cents per order] so people can choose to give or not- which I hope everyone would give and support* Also, if the food is Halal, please indicate it here too.

3. People who own business here

If you do own a business here (with a proper UEN), to support you, we would like to invite you to post a link once a day if needed so as to allow visibility and support you as a neighbour. Do also list your listing in bit.ly/westbuys for more visibility.

I hope this guidelines help in resolving some queries one have, and I'm sorry for the delay in coming out with the guidelines as I'm really really preoccupied with work/motorcycle problems and other community matters. I also hope that it can be used to resolve conflicts/queries. If there are any conflicts, please dont slam in main - this aint drama channel and we ain't emo nemos, please PM and deconflict as adults (pointing at myself too) . And please don't play politics in here, we are neighbours not organisations yeah.

If you have further queries/suggestions to improve, feel free to PM Brian.

The consolidator can be used, free for all, so go ahead.
