howdy20012002 order

[AndyL]

Check the vendors section for the $1 snail sale post...

Neals willing to ship, anyone interested in splitting shipping?

Andy

[impreza]

I wouldn't mind some snails and possibly peppermint shrimp, as long as shipping isn't too outrageous.

[fishmanty]

I would take 20 snails and a sand sifting star

[midgetwaiter]

I could use some snails as well, I'll be up there this weekend and could just bring everything home with me.

[blood_hound]

Im in for a couple of snails maybe 10 and 20 bl hermit

[AndyL]

Midget - if you could, that'd make life even easier!

I asked howdy to pop into the thread, he can voice his opinion on preferences on how to pay etc.

[howdy20012002]

Hello all
i don't have a problem with midget picking the stuff up
obviously it would save money for everyone involved
I am open to payment method
i can take paypal and email transfers
email transfer being the preference as they don't charge the 3 percent charge
cash would also work
I will warn everyone
i don't have alot of stock of some items so first come first served
i do however have lots of bl and rl hermits
the reason i am doing this sale is that i have too many turbos,
my supplier made a mistake and sent me too many..lol
Anyhows
you can call me or pm with what u want
First come first served
Looking forward to hearing from you
Neal

That would be great if Midget could bring it down for us! We can just maybe chip in for gas?

[fishmanty]

Yeah, I'd for sure chip in some gas money to midget!!... You are gonna go for sure, right midget?

So, howdy20012002, we can just msg you our order, you can send us a total, and we can email transfer you the money, and you will save the items we want for us?? (Im guessing thats what you mean by first come first serve, being that it's a little different being that they won't be picked up until the weekend)

[howdy20012002]

yep..that is fine
the big thing is i don't want someone to say that they want something and i never hear from them again
let me know what u guys want and we will go from there
thanks
Neal

[midgetwaiter]

Yes I am going for sure, we're scouting out places to live when we move this fall :(

I will be returning late Sunday, probably too late to schedule any pickups. We can set everything up for pickup at my office or apartment (both downtown) the next day, with inverts this shouldn't be a problem. I'd be willing to cover any DOAs should something happen.

What part of town are you in Neal? I'll be spending most of my time in St. Albert and the West End.

Oh and put me down for 10 turbos and a pair of pepermints.

[SJSobczyk]

Message sent to Howdy. If anyone that lives in the south is able to grab my order from Downtown please let me know.

Steve

[fishmanty]

I live just off anderson and Elbow... so yeah, I could get any one else's on monday.

When you say late sunday... how late is late? Im a night owl, and I don't like downtown during the day. Sooo much easier to get around there at night...

[impreza]

Midget,

I live about 5mins out of downtown so pick up shouldn't be a problem. So we can go ahead with paying Howdy now?

[AndyL]

I would say go ahead, I'm going to email transfer $ to him shortly - worst case greyhound is cheap:

[midgetwaiter]

Fishmanty - Probably 10:00 or 11:00. If you want to come then I don't mind.

Andy - Greyhound has been a little ****y lately about live animal shipments. If you call them they may or may not say it's okay but usually the guy at the counter won't take them. Best bet would be to lie about the contents.

So if everybody sends me a PM by Saturday morning letting me know what needs to be picked up I'll bring it home with me.

[fishmanty]

Hey Midget (Got a first name we can call ya by? :P Calling ya midget sounds kinda... rude, ya know?)

I've put an order in for 15 snails, 1 star and 1 duster (Haven't heard back on their availability, but regardless, they'll be a few bags for me)
Wish he had an urchin available.

But yeah, I'd perfer to pick up on sunday night, for the health of the fish. So, I can PM you my home number and if you could call it when ya get in town (Unless after 1am), then I can pop over there and grab mine

Thanks

Ty

My name is Aaron.

If you want to come and get em Sunday night that's no problem for me.

They've always been ****y about live animals - more so in the last 4 or so since they actually officially said they don't carry them (insurance reasons more than anything). In the rare case they ask, it's pet supplies, tick off the NBO box and pay the extra 5$, not a big deal if ya ask me.

Officially no carriers in canada still carry live animals - but our pet stores don't run out of animals to sell :lol:

Aaron

[AndyL]

Thanks for the update aaron,

Drive safe!

[howdy20012002]

just thought i would let everyone know that the order is enroute home.
Couple exceptions.
the sandsifter star
and the brittle star
both weren't looking right so didn't want to ship them
i sent the money back with aaron for those items
Another thing, I am truly sorry about the snail ID
apparently i shipped down astrea versus turbos
if anyone is truly unsatisfied with what you received, pm me and i will send back your money for the snails that you purchased
my mistake - Sorry
thanks again for order
Neal

[Aquaholic]

Just to let you know everything is doing really well, the anemone found a nice spot and the rest are in good shape as well.

[midgetwaiter]

Well I hope everything else is doing well, my stuff setlled in great. Thanks everybody for coming so late to pick up.

Neil has a pretty good little setup going there. I would definately like to do this again in the future.

[impreza]

Thank you Neal and Aaron!

[fishmanty]
