For the east coast I've purchased exclusively from saltwaterfish dot com since 2006. The reviews been mixed but I don't have any complaints and very happy with them. Just as with any online vendors I started out with small orders and see how it goes. I still have credit from a vendor from 2 years ago but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth that I never went back.
Buying fish online I don't think you need to limit yourself as it will be shipped overnight whether its from the east or west coast. Liveaquaria, reefhotspot and bluezooaquatics in the west coast are all great companies to buy from imho.

agree!
FWIW, I have had great luck with Petco.com.
Somthing Fishy in Northampton PA. They are the only place i've ever ordered a cuc from and had 100% survival rate. I've gotten great rock and sand from them also...
depends on the fish, if its a fish that ora breeds i buy from petco as log as they dont open the bag. petco buys quite a bit of fish from ora, its one of there main wholesalers. great fish at a fraction of the cost. it helps to have one of the aquatics managers as a member of your local club so you know where there coming from.
otherwise blue zoo aquatics, pretty easy to spend enough money to get free shipping (or else reduced shipping). couple of zoas etc and your there.
liveaquaria is great if you want rare/ unusual otherwise there prices are pretty high on most stuff. i usually don't need a picture to convince me i want what I'm looking for.

Just to clarify a common misconseption. Petco retail stores and Petco.com are not the same thing. Petco.com does not handle or house any fish. They simple dropship directly from wholesalers. Same wholesalers the most of the OFS use in LA. I believe what you are mentioning is a Petco retail store, in which I would never recommend, but I didnt because this thread is about OFS, not retail.

so have you guys had good experiences with ordering fish from Diver's Den?
That is my only source for fish.
Even on a forum this big, I highly doubt you will find anyone that wouldn't highly recommend them.
