liveaquaria group order

[leeweber85]

Is anyone still interested in a group order? They aren't offering the free shipping over $250 anymore but with a couple people ordering it wouldn't be too bad.

Maybe I would have to check their webpage and see if they have anything I want. How soon you going to order?

 

[waverz]

i was just checking out their live base rock....how soon are you ordering?

 

[musty baby]

when are you going to order?

 

[leeweber85]

I'm not in a big hurry.

Waverz, I don't think they will combine shipping with the rock

 

[musty baby]

you'll have to let us know when you're ordering, only then will we be able to browse through the corals... can't really tell you I want something right now that won't end up being there in [not a big hurry] from now. Just let me know and I'll get back to you immediately before ordering.

 

[Nykademus]

Yes, also let me know when you guys plan on ordering if you would. I need to pick up some rock as well.

 

[jbrunken]

I'd be interested in ordering a few things from them too, but I'm in C.R., so I don't know how well that would work out...

 

[mwood]

I could go for a couple Bumble Bee Shrimp.

Are you ordering just before the Oct meeting so we can get our stuff then?

 

[leeweber85]

I've always wanted a bumble bee shrimp, I ordered one from petsolutions.com once, and I got a bumble bee SNAIL!.. what a joke that was.

Nykademus, I'm pretty sure Live rock shipping is a flat rate no matter what.

What date would work best for everyone?

 

[leeweber85]

I should mention, I could hold corals for a little while, but not really fish as I will be ordering about 8 for myself.

 

[got2lb]

I can't find the thread but have you considered getting ahold of that guy that was shipping the stuff in from Hawaii or wherever at wholesale prices and doing an order that way?

 

[leeweber85]

I'm pretty sure that guy got in trouble with RC and they never got to order.

 

[phishcrazee]

If the order will be here by meeting time, that would work better for me, then I'd probably go in on it

 

[mwood]

We could pop for the Saturday delivery.

 

[leeweber85]

We could, do you think the livestock would be alright floating in the sump for a day? they do have the 14 day guarantee.

 

[leeweber85]

or if anyone else plans on putting in a big order, I would be willing to travel an hour or 2 to pick up my stuff.

 

[einsteins]

RC seems to put the axe to any threads that have people getting together for group orders...
They killed the one where I got my AC Jr. in a group buy.

Those guys never posted any prices either...all info and details were passed thru PM's.

 

[Covey]

It depends on what kind of group buy it is. The Keys Critter sales always went thru and I don't think there would be any issue about group of people getting to together to order from a sponser either.

They seem to have issue with members circumventing the normal supply chain to get factory direct stuff. They pulled the orignal Reef Octopus skimmer thread because there where going straight to the manufacter in China and I think it was ticking off sponsers.

This type of order goes down all the time with out a problem.

Still planning on doing this???
