Well I played russian rulette and placed an order. It arrived today. I ordered 304.00 Worth of stuff from them. Here are my problems.......

2 shrimps not shipped but billed
1 goby not shipped but billed

all fish except 1 arrived dead. here is what arrived dead...

Blue hippo
yellow tang
royal gramma
2 stripe damsel
mated perc clown pair
1 perc clown
2 lyretail chromis
firefish

I ordered like 65 snails of different kinds too but I am not sure how they are doing yet though. The water temp of the bags when they arrived was 53 degrees. 2 heat packs in the makeshift styrofoam box.

OVERALL, PLEASE EVERYONE DON'T ORDER FROM THEM. THEY HAVE NO PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH EVERYDAY BUSINESS EITHER... I AM WAITING TO SEE HOW THEY HANDLE THIS..

WOW!! That's awful! Hopefully they work with you on this! Sorry to see such a bad deal dude!

 

[03Mach]

have they said what they are going to do?

 

[Bobtail1075]

They have not called, I made it clear that I had expected to know something yesterday(friday). I am gonna try getting the card charged back, even the snails are mostly dead. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't anyone order from them.

[Bobtail1075]

Man they realy have gone down hill. I never had a problem with them. A nother friend of mine just ordered and they had several dead items and items not shipped but still billed for. He is having a tough time as well. So sorry to hear this.

 

[03Mach]

Does it look like your bank will do a charge back for you?

 

[George Grogan]

WOW!! Sorry to hear of your trouble... I clicked on one of their ads on RC just the other day and was thinking of ordering from them.... Guess I'll wait....

tagging along....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't order from them. I would give it maybe a 40 percent chance if it was warmer outside, but if you do not trust my experience. Just call the number on the website. There is an older lady that answers the phone with a simple ..... Hello... She sounded like she ws babysitting.. I honestly don't think there is an actual place where the fish are kept. I think they order there fish from someplace else and have them delivered to them on a tuesday and then they ship them out in the same bags they got them in a ay later. This place is a scam..
I am not sure if the bank is gonna be able to do it..

 

[Bobtail1075]

This place sucks.. I sorta got a refund. They refunded just about 1/2 the amount of the order. This place is just a joke. PLEASE PLEASE, if you are thinking of ever ordering from this place.. DON'T, PLEASE.. Here is another forum about this.

I started the linked thread as you can see on January 6th, 2008, It's now April 25th, and I am still $450 in the hole. They shipped out 1/4 of my order five weeks after I ordered it in February. Everything arrived dead, everything. To this date I haven't received a response or my order. I'm sure its too late to receive any money back from the bank
I had great experience with them initially and recommended them and this is the repayment I've received......

 

[Bobtail1075]

WOW.. that sucks so bad. I think this place is one of those fly by night kinda operations. Well good luck but all I can think is WOW..

OSU?? That is probably Ohio State University right? Hell for 450 bucks I would drive to this idiots house.. Might try calling the cops, because that is blatent theft.. I think I might be in a bit of shock. GOOD LUCK..

Jeremy, very sorry to hear. I feel your pain. In my early days I got clipped badly by a company called Aqua Con (shorts for convicts). I might suggest filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. No company wants that black mark on their record and they become more conciliatory and cooperative. Or at least it might help the next guy down the line. They are apparently not RC sponsors so RC will not be able to assist you. Be sure to post this in the Vendors Feedback Forum. Best of luck!
