US Cook Groups UK Cook Groups Blog

We Tested Every Cook Group. Here's What We Found.

We buy the memberships, run the monitors, and spend at least 30 days inside before writing a word. US and UK cook group rankings based on what actually happens, not what groups claim about themselves.

How We Review Cook Groups

We pay for every membership ourselves and spend at least a month inside before publishing anything. No sponsored placements.

01

Alert Speed

We run monitors side by side during live drops and clock who gets there first. Seconds matter here.

02

Retailer Coverage

Which retailers are actually monitored, and whether the ones that matter to most resellers are on the list.

03

Community Quality

We ask questions, read the guides, and see how staff treat new members — not just during launch week.

04

Value for Money

What a typical member is likely to make versus what they're paying. We don't factor in edge cases.

05

Tools & Resources

Bot guides, drop calendars, group buys, sell-through data — whether they exist and whether they're any good.

06

Member Feedback

We cross-check our scores against what real paying members say. If there's a gap, we investigate.

Reseller Cheat Sheet

The 8 terms you need to know before joining your first cook group.

01
RaffleA draw-based system for hyped releases — winners get the right to buy at retail price.
02
PayoutWhat you actually receive after platform fees, shipping, and returns are deducted.
03
MSRPManufacturer's Suggested Retail Price — the original price before any resale markup.
04
RestockWhen a sold-out item becomes available again — often briefly and without announcement.
05
Price ErrorA retailer's accidental pricing mistake — may be honoured or cancelled, so speed matters.
06
BrickA product that resells below retail — low demand, hard to flip without taking a loss.
07
Sell-ThroughHow fast a product sells on resale platforms. High sell-through = strong demand, faster flip.
08
ROIReturn on Investment — your profit as a percentage of what you spent. The only metric that matters.
