Sand purchase

[ReefArtist]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I talked to John (FAOIS) yesterday and he is trying his best to get a date of delivery. He's having to work through their corporate web and at this time that is the hold up. If not today then by the end of the week we should had a good date.

Sorry for keeping everyone in limbo - we will get a date.

Andy - that is not a problem at all. I hope you've enjoyed your trip here in Florida.

Thank you for the kind words David. Getting it all together has been fun and a huge savings for everyone. The biggest thanks must go to FAOIS (John) for getting this fantastic price for all of us!

 

[rrtree]

what do we need to take to make sure we get what we paid for?

 

[ReefArtist]

Your body and my word . John and I have the list and we're counting it twice. Everyone will get what they paid for and there are lots on my waiting list.

Darn...

Darn...

I will be out of town this weekend...was wondering if maybe one of the B.A.R.F. guys could help me out and pick my 100 pounds up and I will pick up Sunday afternoon or whenever is convienient.

 

[cannarella]

Carol, I will get my parents to run up there and get my bags for me. They have the same last name, screen name, as me and know where it is.

Verify, 80# of #0 and 80# or #1.

Thanks
Andy

Michael4963 - That's not a problem getting someone else to pick it up for you and if not I can store it at my house. Let me know if someone is going to pick it up for you (Need their name). I know most of the people on the list - most have been to my house or I've see at meetings. So between John, Jennifer and myself we should have everyone covered.

If someone else is picking it up for you - just let me know and I will check ID if I don't know them or you. Just to be sure everyone gets what they ordered.

Cannarella - Yes, that isn't a problem and I believe John knows who they are. They can just introduce themselves to me and I'll take care of them.

Here is my final list - I also have a list of people that wanted to be put on the list after the cut off. Once we have the count and everything is accounted for - we can see what we can do for everyone. This is going to be a fun weekend and please everyone - put all your feeling behind you and lets have some fun and help each other load our cars/trucks down with some sand for our tanks! LETS HAVE A SAND PARTY AND SOME FUN!!!!!!!

Again here is the pickup site. I'll have more details later this morning as far as times. I know as late as 6PM (OK - 5:30) but as far as early I need to make sure before posting.

Here's FAOIS address:

FAOIS (John and Jennifer)
105 fairfield Street
Oldsmar, FL 34677
(813) 891-4291

Anyone from the Orlando area picking up sand? I work on the weekend and have 420lbs to pickup.

 

[ReefArtist]

OK - I just talked to John and we need to have time to get everything together before everyone starts arriving. We will start at 10:00am and close up at 6:00pm.

It's going to be a fun day and I'd really like to meet everyone personally. Please come by and say hello as I'd like to thank everyone that has been involved.

Please everyone, while you picking up the sand stop in and say hello to John and Jennifer - they are the ones that made this happen for us and we all owe them a very big thank you. What a great deal we got!
