Your thoughts on liveaquaria...

I just got another shipment from them. The divers den section is great and the customer service is too. I've had some iffy experiences ordering from the regular liveaquaria section but divers den can't be beat. The shipping is great, very large bags well packed with warm or cool packs if needed.
 
Ya I did do a reviews search and the most recent was done in 2008 and a lot of business practices can change in a matter of a few months let alone years.
 
They're one of the best in the business and their customer service is amazing. They put a lot of work into maintaining healthy livestock. You can't go wrong with them.

very good to hear, thats what i was looking for! any other ppl have any thoughts/ experiences?
 
Hands down; the best online vendor PERIOD! Divers Den will send you quality animals that have been acclimated, fed, QT'd and adjusted to captive care. The staff are experts in marine ornamentals and care about what they sell. I prefer to purchase fish from them before I'd buy from any LFS.
 
Love 'em. But you won't get a deep discount. :)

They're Dr's Foster and Smith, they've been doing things right since like the Dawn of Man. They have the size and financials to provide the service, support and quality, and they know their business. You can't go wrong with them.

But the drawback really is that you will pay a bit more. If you have to have the cheapest on the market, skip them. If you want the quality, and don't mind paying a little bit more, then use them. Besides, one dead animal from a cheap place and you blew all the savings for a lifetime anyway.

I've never ordered from them but I know some of my friends that have, and they were quite satisfied, and will order again. I'm just waiting for a group purchase from here to save on shipping.

wow! thats impressive. How nice is it that shopping for live animals that are so delicate can actually not just be done through the internet but done with so much success that its preferred over buying locally! Thanx for the input.
 
They really bend over backwards to make sure that you have a good experience ordering from them. I was very impressed and plan to order from them again.
 
I just ordered a cleaner crew package from LA and one of the arrow crabs lost two of its legs during shipment. I sent an email with a picture of the crab to LA and within 2 hours I received an email from their customer service that a credit was issued to my account. That's service!
 
I have serious problems paying 20-30 bucks for a fish at any of the 10 places around here and some of them are dang good stores... I wasn't worried in the slightest ordering $200 clowns from divers den. Take from that what you will :)
 
I agree with everyone else, liveaquaria has always been great to me, especially with DOAs which are very very rare considering they keep very healthy livestock and package them better than any other vendor I have bought from :)
 
Ive purchased stuff from them many times in the last 5 years and they are one of the best hands down. Thats why i continue to go to them. Yesterday I purchased my new vortech pump from them, cant wait untill it arrives
