Livestock order

[RCS]

I've had orders in from multiple places (Sharky's Reef, Reeftopia, LiveAquaria, Fraggle Reef, Just Coral, Under the Sea Coral...I could go on and on). I've never dealt with saltwaterfish.com thought, so I'm no help there. F&S (liveaquaria) has always been my first choice for actual fish. For corals, it's kind of whatever they've got on hand. Does swfish.com have a similar guarantee to LA?

I'm nowhere near reaqdy to order anything right now, but in a couple months I'll likely be placing orders from a variety of places every couple weeks, or at least once a month. I'll always ask at that point.

I'll take the following

royal gramma $9.99

Lettuce Nudibranch $4.99

Frogspawn coral $17.99

Total $32.97

If you get it on Monday, I wouldnt be able to pick up until after 8pm that day.... would that be a problem?

I would order on Friday. It would be shipped on Monday and arrive on Tuesday.

update since I can no longer edit...

Orange Linkia Starfish $19.99
Peppermint Shrimp - Group of 5 - $19.99
total: $39.98

 

[RCS]

You know, I can likely throw together a couple of 10g tanks for these guys, so if you put the order together, put me down for these:

1 group of 5 peppermint shrimp
5 lettuce nudibranchs

I've bred both in the past and am hoping to start again. If their sexy shrimp weren't so expensive, I'd grab some of them too...

 

[jandlms]

RCS and Debssisterflo. Your orders have been added to the master list.
Anybody out there know if they have any price discounts for larger amounts ordered. This is really starting to add up with only a few people in so far.
Keep the ordrs coming people!

I have ordered from them a couple of times, never any quantity discount but instead they give you free livestock depending on how much you have ordered.

Just a word of caution on Saltwaterfish.com. IF you have problems with your order don't look for great customer service like you find with F&S and some of the other vendors out there. They have pretty sucky customer service.
Not to burst anyones fun with the group order, just something that myself and others have found out.

John,

how do you want payment?

Dan

 

[jandlms]

No H.
Jon
My parents didn't want me burdened my whole life with a useless letter.
Payment when they are picked up. I won't even make the order until noon on Friday.
I know some have raised concerns about a non-payer stiffing me with the livestock, but I am willing to try this and TRUST everyone.
To all of you ordering, PLEASE do not mess this up. I really think it would only take a bad experience or two for me to say to he*#! with it all.

I don't think the last couple I was in on with jon were dazzeling, just credit the stuff that didn't survive shipping .... Everyone should realize by now what a quarantine tank is....

It is kind of a crapshoot when you are dealing with livestock that you don't see before you buy. Even the what you see is what you get type of sale can be disappointing when you see what can and has been done to livestock pictures with a little computer enhancement. The prices and the selection just keep me coming back to mailorder every so often.
Keep the orders coming folks. Monday at noon is the deadline. I want to order at 12:30 or so.
jandlms

 

[jandlms]

OOPS! I meant Friday at noon for the deadline. I want the stuff shipped out on Monday for arrival Tuesday morning.
Sorry!

[mako56]

I will wait for the next one or order myself maybe, Tuesday just won't work for me, to run to your place from mine would cost me 15-20 bucks in gas and my time I probably can come up with a $79.00 order on my own anyways. I have ordered from them before and the stuff was ok.

 

[jmkarcz]

I will offer to anyone who wants, that if they want, I can shuffle stuff from jons place to my place to save anextra 12 minutes of drive time.... I live near Fleet Farm West... if that will help anyone...

Let me know well in advance.

Don't know why you guys want to support an outfit like saltwaterfish.com ~ especially with a large order. You would all be better off going with liveaquaria IMO. Saltwaterfish often bans members of their own forums who complain of poor customer service and faulty orders. A company such as this does not deserve your business. Check out some of the vendor feedback forums here and you will see what I mean. Liveaquaria is a far better choice hands down.

 

[kass03]

FYI about the lettuce nudis it says limit 2.
Also I read in vender feedback theres about an $18 surcharge so shipping is'nt really free.

Ive never ordered from them so can't comment myself. I have seen bad feedback for them though.
What bothered me is theres no phone number if something goes wrong. It's all emails.

I doubt I'll order anything anyway lol so don't go by me.
I think the fish and inverts might be ok but don't like to order corals if it is'nt wyswyg.

Jason was that a joke about putting 20 grammas and 15 pygmy angels in a 300? lol

[jandlms]

Well folks!
You can see the feedback from Kass and Spike regarding saltwaterfish.com. Do we still go ahead with the order? It makes no nevermind to me (i'm just doing the ordering- my actual part of the order only amounts to about $30 at this time).
We can look for another vendor if that is the groups consensus.
Let me know soon.

 

[Aquabucket]

They have a bad rating by the Better Business Bureau, no phone number to contact, block e-mails of unhappy customers and have a bad track record with large orders.

Why support such a business when we have a highly regarded in-state company like Dr. Foster's and Smith?

 

[RCS]

Well, if they're limiting the number of lettuce nudis, then it doesn't make any sense for me to keep my order then. Let me know if you decide to switch vendors...LA has good deals on Sexy shrimp!
