1. What is Big Value Box?
- Big Value Box is an innovative collective purchasing platform where buyers commit to a percentage of a box filled with various products. Once the box reaches a minimum commitment threshold set by the seller, it is shipped to a warehouse for distribution.
2. How do I get started as a buyer?
- Simply create a buyer account on our platform, explore available offers, and commit to a percentage of the Big Value Box that suits your needs.
3. Can I change my commitment percentage after confirming?
- No, once you confirm your commitment, it cannot be changed without contacting customer service. Ensure you commit to the right percentage before confirming. You can create another order with an additional percentage, however we encourage you to speak to customer service should you need any help.
4. What happens if the Big Value Box doesn't reach the minimum commitment threshold?
- If the box doesn't reach the minimum commitment threshold within the specified time, the Big Value Box is cancelled and the commitments are removed. The buyers will not be charged.
5. How is shipping handled?
- Once the box reaches the minimum commitment threshold, it is shipped to a warehouse. The respective portions of the Big Value Box are then sent to buyers (if they’ve chosen delivery) or held for pick-up by the customers. You will receive email notifications about the progress of the Big Value Box and when it is being shipped.
6. Can I see the progress of the Big Value Box I committed to?
- Yes, you can track the progress of the Big Value Box in your buyer dashboard. It shows the current commitments and whether the box has reached the minimum threshold. All the Big Value Boxes also have a graphic which shows how much of the box is filled.
7. How do sellers set the minimum commitment threshold?
- Sellers determine the minimum percentage of commitments needed before the Big Value Box is dispatched. This is communicated clearly on the product detail page under “Acceptance Threshold”.
8. Are there any additional fees for buyers?
- Buyers only pay the committed percentage of the Big Value Box and any delivery/handling charges depending on their preference. The total that you will pay for the Big Value Box will clearly be shown in your shopping cart. All supplier and warehouse related fees are included in that price.

- Yes, you can commit to multiple Big Value Boxes, provided they are different offers. Each commitment is separate.
10. What happens if I miss the commitment deadline?
- If you miss the commitment deadline, you won't be part of that specific Big Value Box. You can explore and commit to other ongoing offers.
11. How do I contact the seller or other buyers?
- You can use our questions and answers section for each product to engage with sellers and see what other buyers might be asking. Ask questions, share insights, and build connections.
12. Can I cancel my commitment after placing an order?
- No, commitments are final once confirmed. If it has been done in error, please contact customer service immediately to resolve the issue. You will not be charged simply because you place an order. It is when the Big Value Box has met the criteria for being successful that the charges will be placed. We recommend that you review your commitment carefully before confirming.
13. When is a Big Value Box determined as having been successful?
- A Big Value Box is successful when enough buyers have placed commitments and the Box has been filled to over the Acceptance Threshold before the expiry date. Only when this level is met are the payments taken from the buyers and the seller is committed to sending through the Box.
14. Are the products in the Big Value Box pre-determined?
- The products in the Big Value Box are determined by the seller. They curate offers to provide a variety of products to buyers.

16. Can I request specific products in a Big Value Box?
- The products in each Big Value Box are predetermined by the seller. Buyers commit to a percentage of the overall box, not individual products. However, if there are any specific types of products you are interested in, we encourage you to let us know on bvb@bdynamic.com.au.
17. How long does it take for the Big Value Box to be shipped after reaching the minimum threshold?
- The Big Value Box will be shipped soon after the expiry date is reached on the condition that the minimum threshold has been met. Once the products reach the warehouse, it will be forwarded on for delivery or available for pick-up within 24 hours.

- You can receive notifications about the progress of the Big Value Box via your registered email address or through our platform.
24. Can I combine commitments with friends or family members to reach the threshold?
- Absolutely! We encourage this because the concept of collective buying relies on having enough buyers coming together to buy as a group, thus providing a win-win for both the seller, in terms of volume of sales, and the buyers, by getting the best possible value and savings.
We have affiliation sharing links on the order and product pages which you can use to share details of the Big Value Box you are interested in sending to friends and family.
25. Are there discounts for larger commitment percentages?
- Each box will have a certain value or savings associated with it. This percentage will apply if you order the minimum order quantity or if you order the entire box. The concept is to provide all buyers a fair share of the savings. Please check the details of each offer to understand the pricing and the savings associated with it.
26. Can I return a product once I receive it?
- Big Value Box has a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after collecting your part of the Big Value Box to request a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unused and with original packaging.
Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective or damaged or if you have received the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
To start a return or raise an issue on the received goods, you can contact us at bvb@bdynamic.com.au. Please see our Returns Policy for more information.
