Here is an idea. I was looking for buying some straw beach mats, and the cheapest I could find were on ebay for like 3 to 4 bucks a piece. I was wondering if there is anybody who would go in on a group buy from some place like Alibaba. Lots of those companies/businesses will only take minimum unit buys of 1000 or 3000...but the cost would be like 1.00 per mat or less. Could we set up a group buy...maybe just putting an idea out there? What do you guys and gals think? I dont really know the logistics of setting everything up, but maybe some of you have done group buys and would know a way?

I dont do much with beach mats, but shipping tatami is almost as much as buying the stuff. The shipping costs should be less as beach mats arent as heavy but definitely check out what it could run you so you don't have a nasty surprise.

After the order is shipped, someone would need to separate and ship each individuals mats at a separate shipping charge per individual.
It wouldn't be cost effective unless you were buying for a local group and everyone would meet up and pick up their own. Not sure where you'd put 1000 rolled mats while waiting for the next group meeting unless you have a spare garage you're not using.
