Trem is a group buying service that allows any individual to group together with others to access premium food at exclusive low prices direct from wholesale distributors and farms. The larger the group, the larger the buying power, and larger the discount. We are starting with premium ramen from high-end suppliers but hope to add more products soon.
There are no fees to use Trem, joining a group is free, the only cost you pay is the price you pay for the product and shipping.
Each product has listed our current range of progressive discounts on your dashboard. Examples would be group minimum rate for 3 people, additional 10% for 6, 15% for 15, etc.
The group minimum is the minimum number of people needed to fulfill an order within the specified order time frame in order to qualify for a bulk discount from our suppliers.
We have group maximums in order to fulfill and batch orders as quickly as possible in a short amount of time.
We have order time frames in order to get orders out to all of our group members in as quickly of a manner as possible.
You are given an invite link specific to the group purchase that can be shared via social, text, or email.
Private groups are created by Trem users and get access to lower rates than public groups. Users who create or join a private group are able to share their private group link with friends and family to get the best discounts possible.
Public groups are created by default and still get great pricing, but are open to the public.
Our suppliers will ship your ramen in their original packaging direct from their warehouses.
Shipping depends on the partner, and estimated shipping will be noted on the website during checkout, but on average once an order is completed it will take 5-7 business days.
Currently our partners ship to the 48 continental states in the US via Fedex. Alaska and Hawaii are currently not supported.
We use Stripe (used by Amazon, Google, Zoom & more) to process payments and do not store any credit or debit card information ourselves.
You are only charged when a group minimum is hit within the order time frame. This typically occurs hours to a day or two after you place your order, but you can always check the status of the specific group on your dashboard and the website.
You will be emailed to optionally try again to reach the minimum and not be charged.
