Something to add is that we require people to give 24 hours volunteer time every three months in order to join the collective council. The qbp privilege is a bonus for that commitment. And, it is consistent with QBP's policy, in that the people who can make personal orders are essentially the "employees" of the shop.

I
can't
find
the
policy
on
the
QBP
dealer
site,
you
might
want
to
call
your
account
rep
to
check.
I
believe
the
deal
is
that
it's
OK
for
shop
employees
to
make
personal
orders
for
personal
use,
possibly
with
some
total
dollar
cap
on
how
much
can
be
ordered
for
this
use
in
a
year?
We
let
collective
members
add
items
to
our
orders
for
personal
use
with
the
understanding
that
the
stuff
they
order
isn't
going
to
be
given
away/resold.
If
someone
wants
more
than
$500
worth
of
stuff
it
goes
through
collective
review.

I was wondering if anyone has any policy in place that allows or
dis-allows collective members from ordering new parts, frame/forks, or
even complete bikes from QBP. Shops that do allow ordering, what
restrictions from QBP apply?
