How is the LUGBULK process managed.

Jumper Plate handles the LUGBULK process in four phases

1. Participation
Your members can request to participate, and you approve them or as an admin you can also select eligible people yourself. The system can then generate an Excel file that you can use to send to LEGO

2. Element Selection
Currently, there are four ways your final 85 can be selected

  1. By Allocation
    Your approved participants can choose parts they wish to be considered for the final 85. Example, everyone could have 5 choices list in order of preference and can see what parts have already been included. As an admin you can see what everyone would like and you can add them to the final 85 list. 
  2. By Open Vote
    This option allows participants to see the list of what elements others have chosen and can then add their own choices or include current ones to help get that element in the final list. The system then collates the votes and allows the admin to see what the most popular parts are and add those to the list.
  3. By Private Vote
    This option allows participants to choose and rank elements in preferred order up to the allocated amount, but are unaware on what others have voted for. Just like the both "By Vote" options, the system collates the votes and allows the admin to see what the most popular parts are and add those to the list.
  4. By Admin
    Ultimately, the admin has the final say in what is in the 85. So if your leadership team chooses to organise it themselves, the system can skip the "Element Selection" phase

3. Ordering
Once you have your 85 parts finalised with all the appropriate details, participants can start to create their order much like a shopping cart. Jumper Plate calculates the order including tax and shipping so that the member is well aware of how much is due. As an admin, you will see all the final totals for when you place the order with LUGBULK.org.

4. Delivery
Once you receive your shipment, admins can export and print out a checklist of peoples orders as well as files designed to make parting out the elements easier
