Best place to buy Instant Ocean salt online

[Fish Keeper82]

I have always been a supporter of my LFS for the last 10 years but it has changed owners recently, employees are less than knowledgeable and prices have gone up significantly. I no longer feel a responasbility to help this LFS out.

So where are the most resonable priced places online for Instant Ocean 200 gallon box?
Please post if you have had bad experiances as well from some of the online vendors. Last thing i want is hardened salt.

Petsolutions.com has always worked for me, free shipping on $49 or more, including 200g boxes of salt.

Fosters and smith, great place and free shipping. I usually get it overnight also, must be from where i live though

Amazon

 

[CStrickland]

amazon $39.99
free shipping w/ prime or $7 without

I've never had any hard salt. One time there was a hole in a bag, but it was inside the intact box so more like a factory mess up.

I get mine from Amazon also. Various dealers and have never had an issue. Usually get it for around 39$ but have gotten it as low as 24$.

Normally filled by amazon, but seeing as amazon is out if stock, all orders are being filled by pet solutions. Being filled by pet solutions is the only reason prime isn't available.

Amazon filled by pet solutions is 39$ + 6.99 S&H = 46.98$ - S&H could be free using prime when filled by amazon directly, but does not apply in this case.
Pet solutions direct (on sale) 39.99(normally 46.99) + 9.99 S&H = 49.98 they do offer free shipping, but only on orders over 49$ which the salt alone does not qualify.

3 dollars more then amazon but still fulfilled by the same company. If it wasn't on sale, their starting price is more then amazon including S&H. These figures are done when shipping to upstate NY.

Now who's loling?

 

[CStrickland]

nevermind. what he said
They had a really good sale before christmas, like $25 a box. They probs ran out, but should be back to normal prices soon

F&S is 39.99 for a 200 gal box and free shipping on $49 or more

I am LOLing.....who ever just orders 1 box of salt?, There is always something else you could add to get to $49 & free shipping, I get 2 items for $49, you get one for $47, now who's LOLING? Why would I go through a middle man like Amazon for this item when I regularly shop online at Pet Solutions & I promise you when Amazon fulfills this order, the price is not $39.99 & shipping is more than $7, & I'm never giving Amazon $99 for prime, when they jack up their prices to compensate for free shipping over $35, do you think you 2 are the only ones who can shop online & compare prices?

Free shipping over 35.00 with prime? Ive ordered 5.00 items before and got the free 2 day shipping

same.
Also, the listed price is legit. I've bought that salt for $39.

 

[ReefKeeperAiden]

I would recommend Dr.FosterandSmith.com for salt. They have fast shipping and items are packaged well.

How can you hate on Amazon? its literally the best store on the internet.

 

[kewadiak]

+1 to pet solutions often use them to for io salt.

Nah Shifty, I meant without prime, free shipping on $35, fulfilled by Amazon, prime is free 2 day shipping on anything fulfilled by Amazon but it cost $99 a year & I have recently found that they purposely delay delivery on non prime orders as well, what used to take 3-4 days now takes a week or more. I agree with you on F&S $39.99 & free shipping on $49, the only reason I Use Pet Solutions is I get mine next day from Ohio, same as you do from F&S in Wisconsin.

I don't hate "on" Amazon, they are just not the best place for reef keeping supplies "on" the "reg"
