Hi All
I am here in east central wisconsin on biz and as I was traveling today I saw the Dr. F&S headquarters....so I had to stop and check it out.
First off the place is HUGE, there are like 3 main buildings in the complex. The main warehouse that has the aquaculture center in it, main offices and lots of shipping docks. Next there is another building for returns, and last there is the retail store building.
I went in the retail building to check out the store, the Fish and Coral were at the back in a small area.
They had some nice sized great good looking frags in one tank and prices were good....most of the big sps frags were 15.00
I was thinking JACKPOT and had about 6 or 7 sps frags all picked out. Then the girl came around to see if I needed help and I told her that I wanted some of the frags and wanted to have them shipped to my house for Friday delivery when I get back.
She suddenly got an attitude and said we dont ship corals from here. I responded by asking here if their aquaculture facility was in this complex and she told me it was 50 yards away in the really large shipping warehouse building next to the store.
I explained my situation and she said that they wont ship corals from the retail store, so I asked if she could send them over to the warehouse and have them shipped and of coarse I got more attitude and a big no again.
I even offered to take them over to the shipping /aquaculture area to get them shipped and that was a no also.
I then asked if I could see the auaculture facility and, well you guessed it...NO with an attitude! She said they dont allow the public into the facility except during their annual frag swap and club tours. I understand that they cant accomodate everyone that asks but they could at least say NO in a nice way.
So I left with all of my money in my pocket and a sour taste in my mouth....Don't think im interested in going back anytime soon.
Hope they treat our club better when all of ou go there.
