t-5 retro price match?

[dmits41]

Do you guys price match the sunlight t-5 retro kits if they are offered for less at a competitor? I saw that yours is $139 for the 2x54w kit w/o bulbs, and reefgeek.com has the exact same one for $169.99 with 2 bulbs of your choice. I'd love to buy it from you, but if I were to buy the retro, the aquablue and actinic 03 bulbs from you it would cost $205. There is only a $6 difference at the $169 price between paying sales tax if I buy it from you locally vs. paying for shipping from reefgeek, so I basically consider that even. I'd just love to purchase it from you because I've always had good experiences with you in the past.

Hi,

Yes, we can price match there offer. We do not stock T5 bulbs yet though. We stock all the Sunlight halide products, but we have not received our special boxs to ship T5's yet. So T5s ship from the factory, so we would still have to charge you shipping, even if buying locally, or you could wait for our next house order, we order by the pallet and get free shipping, could bring the kit and bulbs in on the pallet and you won't have to pay shipping, but might have to wait a couple of weeks.

thanks

When will you get the bulbs? I wasn't planning on buying for a couple of weeks anyway (I have to see if I can swing it with the next paycheck) so waiting isn't a big deal. Thanks!

I'm not sure when we'll actually stock them, getting custom packing manufactured seems to take forever, so might be couple weeks or longer. If you want to email sales@premiumaquatics.com with the retro you want and your choice of bulbs though, i'lll make sure it's instock for you with our next regular ballast order.

thanks
