Frag-a-Lot Group Order - Edmonton - Thanks to all!

[Fox]

Anyone interested in putting together a group order for the $10 frag special?

I am really pleased with my last 3 so I am in if anyone else is. I have never coordinated so if anyone else has experience doing so please step forward or I will try my best to get this to work!

I suppose we will also need a deal line. Thoughts?

Cheers!

[Flash]

I would be willing to go in for 2 only this time though.

[subman]

I'm in for at least 4!

[Fox]

I am in for 5 myself so maybe once we have enough orders to get free shipping we should just call that the cut off?

The numbers listed here put at $110 and we need over $250 to get free shipping so 14 more and we're laughing!

I sent a message to Burc asking for advice on this so I guess I am taking point on this unless someone else steps forward. :P

[dawen]

im in...ill order some maybe 10, or maybe around $100

[howdy20012002]

I just placed an order for 30 frags.
if you want, you can see if you can add it to my order.

#79,87,97 done

[noirsphynx]

I'm in for 6 of them and Doo is in for 6. Burc is already holding ours so let me know who's organizing(if that's been decided) or if we're going in on Neal's order and I'll forward my list and let Burc know who I'm sending it to.
Dawn

[Fox]

Ok guys looks like this is going full steam ahead. Can everyone interested in the group order please pm me the specifics of their order? I will confirm with Burc regarding shipping dates and we can work out the cut off date after that.

[Fox]

Oh and in addition to your list please send me a anything you would like as a backup order just in case something is sold out. ;)

[noirsphynx]

Oh and in addition to your list please send me a anything you would like as a backup order just in case something is sold out. ;)

I didn't send a backup since Burc is already holding mine & Doo's. I've emailed Burc to let him know that our orders will now be done through you.
Dawn

[Fox]

Perfect!

Maybe we should make the cut off tonight so that things dont start selling out of others...I was just looking at the last group order thread and that seemed to be the trend...So shall we say 6pm tonight for a cut off?

[Doo]

Sent you a PM!

58, 61, 62, 70, 87, 95

Burc is aware of these already and has them on hold :)

Thanks

[noirsphynx]

Perfect!

That sounds good because it does sell fast.

[Flash]

Yay more zoos!!!!

[paddyob]

Oh and in addition to your list please send me a anything you would like as a backup order just in case something is sold out. ;)

Just curious, i was interested in joining in, but seems like interest is overwhelming. how limited are the pieces? i am pretty specific what i put in my nano And dont really want to order and get something i dont really want. any had this issue or know? i can see stuff getting wiped out fast. this would be a first order for me. nervous.

[Flash]

if it turns out not to be what you want. they are pretty easy to sell! i got a few that don't look exactally like the picture but they nice!! the last order was my first.. and it wa sa rocky one as it was so cold out! but I am buying again so that must say something!

[Fox]

This is my second time ordering...I orders 1 zoa, a duncan and a candy cane and they arrived well and are doing great!

At $10 a frag, you really cant lose in my opinion! I have noticed that the site gets updated pretty quick (cudoo's to Burc) so you know if something is limited or sold out pretty quick.

[Flash]

SO DEADLINE 6:00PM TONIGHT???! LOL! (I want my frags NOW! lol!)

[Fox]

Oh sure...confuse everyone and push it up by 2 hours!!! SIX MAN!!! 6PM!! :lol:

[Fox]

Ok we are officially at the 25 frag mark...

Please let me know if I have missed anyone!!!!

So far I have confirmed pm's with phone numbers from:

Doo - 58, 61, 62, 70, 87, 95
Landshark - 2 x #67
J.Lloy - #26, #37, #57, #62
Bean - #79,87,97

I have confirmed pm's with no phone numbers from

noirsphynx - 11, 26, 53, 61, 75, 99

Again the deadline is 6pm...I did see replies about people that wanted to place an order but didn't leave their order details or any other information so if your still interested there's still 6 hours.

Cheers!

[Flash]

LOL SORRY i DIDN'T SEE IT POSTED... yup must be a monday!!! pm sent with phone #

Now how does this work?? Shipment dates? How do I pay??

[Fox]

Hey Burc, any chance if I keep updating this list the way I am that you'll put these aside before I place the order so that my clients (snicker) will get what they are requesting?

Hey FOX!!

Thanks for taking this by the nose hairs and getting it together.

I am super excited!! Always something!!:biggrin:

[Fox]

My pleasure! It gives me something to do on a sick day! :D

[Fox]

I have had a few people ask me how they can get their payment to me. I found the last time I participated in a group order that an email money transfer worked quite well for most if not all people. It should be available through on your online banking and if I recall, the person setting up the transfer sets a password so if that works for you guys then just set that up and send me a pm with the password.

My email is BradMulders@shaw.ca

Otherwise let me know if you would like to make other arrangements!

Cheers!

[Fox]

I just got a reply back from Burc (Thank you for the prompt response!) and he says he is full up for this week but he can get them out next week.

I will keep you all posted as I get more info!

[Fox]

Bump!

1 Hour left before I post the order!

[Flash]

Now your posting at 5:0pm??? What! Lol! Jk

[dawen]

darn, i was expecting this week lol

[mark]

Fox, PM'd you and Burc about #33 and 80.

[Fox]

Now your posting at 5:0pm??? What! Lol! Jk

Hahahhaha Not hard to tell I am medicated...

Thanks mate...

On a side note, I will filling my shopping cart with the orders and I found that a few of them are listed as sold out. I asked Burc about it and he said too just message him because he may have them set aside.

So far the ones that are listed as sold out that we ordered are 26, 59 and 95 just in case anyone wants to put in a backup request.

NOTE TO Dawen: As you already gave me a backup list, I put in your first backup (#50) as a replacement for #26 in case he doesn't have it.

[noirsphynx]

I hope he's still holding my #26, I messaged him within a few minutes of him posting that special.

[fragalot]

Dawn your #26 is safe in my personal tank ;)

[noirsphynx]

Dawn your #26 is safe in my personal tank ;)

WHEW, thank goodness because that one frag is the whole reason I wanted to place an order :mrgreen: Thanks Burc!!!

[Fox]

Good news,

I sent a list of the ones listed as sold out to Burc and he says he will have them all available.

Woot!

[dawen]

Good news,

I sent a list of the ones listed as sold out to Burc and he says he will have them all available.

Woot!

so that means he will have my #26 ready when we order?

[Fox]

I was going to write that your's would be only one he said he wouldn't have...

but that would be mean :P

[Fox]

Only 15 minutes before I place the order if anyone else wants in on this!

[Fox]

Placing the order now as soon as I get some credits worked out.

Thanks to all and I will keep you posted.

Please send payments via email money transfer to BradMulders@shaw.ca.

Thanks in advance!

[paddyob]

Good news,

I sent a list of the ones listed as sold out to Burc and he says he will have them all available.

Woot!

Man i just panicked. was reading what i missed and saw one sold out. so even though next week its certain these are available?

[Fox]

Man i just panicked. was reading what i missed and saw one sold out. so even though next week its certain these are available?

This is the message that was sent from Burc:
***************
Okay i will have all of them available for you. PLease add something else to the cart for checkout for those sold out ones. And email me the list.
***************

So I added 7 #1's (because no one ordered #1's) to make up for the fact that it wouldn't let me select the ones listed as sold out, and I sent Burc the list as he requested. Technically the order hasn't been placed through the website site yet as 2 people had store credit they would like to use but I haven't been advised how to work that through the site without a coupon code of some kind.

HOWEVER, I have sent Burc the order via email, I detailed all the ones that were listed as sold out and as soon as he lets me know how to process I can pay for the order in full. If he doesnt get back to me in the next hour, I will just place the order and work out the credit when he's available.

In the meantime, Feel free to send me your money!!! (I've always wanted to say that and actually get paid for a change) :P

[dawen]

I was going to write that your's would be only one he said he wouldn't have...

but that would be mean :P



awww........ thats too bad :cry: , i really wanted that one, that was one of the reason i order lol

hey fox, i need your full name and email for the email money transfer, pm me your full name

I will post payment today. and email once done.

[subman]

money sent!

[Fox]

OK Credits have been sorted, frags have been paid for and the frags should be coming in sometime next week. I received payment from 4 people (please let me know if haven't contacted you saying its been received).

Again, payments can be sent to Bradmulders@shaw.ca via email money transfer or if you need to pay another way, just let me know and we'll work it out.

Cheers!

[Doo]

money sent!

thanks for looking after this!

[paddyob]

Just wondering where this is at. should we not have notice when it is coming by now?

[Fox]

Yup, if you take a look back Burc said that last week was full up and that it would be this week. I just sent him a pm so as soon as I hear anything we can start coordinating.

Cheers!

[paddyob]

Thanks Brad. just following up. appreciate the response. Any idea where we should all get together?

[Fox]

A lot of the people I have met live on the south side but I live on the NE side so I was hoping that we could meet downtown, maybe even the same Starbucks that we all met up when Doo arranged the order.

Still waiting to hear back from Burc on an eta but I only messaged him this morning...

So, if that works, we'll go with that...and if anyone wants to have someone else pick up their order, just let me know in advance. I wont release anyone's frags unless they let me know in advance!

[Flash]

okay... so who wants to pick up for far south side! lol!:lol:

[subman]

How bout the west end?:mrgreen:

[mark]

I'm in the NE.

[subman]

Hey Mark you and I are about as far apart as possible without leaving the city!

LOL

[noirsphynx]

Starbucks works. I've done this a few times and it's usually been Starbucks but I'm flexable as to the location. I added to the order for another person and I'm unsure yet but I may be picking up for him too.

[Fox]

I'm in the NE.

If you want, you could meet me at my place after work before I go downtown or I could hold them at my place and you could stop by my place to pick them up later in the evening instead of going all the way downtown if that works better for you.

[dawen]

south side....LOL, where is that starbuck we are talking about, cuz i never did last order w doo

[Flash]

i believe it's the 109th and jasper ave downtown starbucks

[Fox]

i believe it's the 109th and jasper ave downtown starbucks

Yup that's the one I was thinking...

[paddyob]

I am also north. where are you Brad? should we just pick somewhere central, like kingsway Or something, then should not be much further than anyone . except dawn, way out there ha ha. im pretty easy. i just want my coral. ha ha. what starbucks You referring to dawn? and brad, you are doing the most with pickup and all. what are you comfortable with?

[Fox]

Hehehe you should have read the post above yours...I was thinking about the 109st and Jasper Startbucks...very close to Kingsway.

[paddyob]

Starbucks works for me.

[noirsphynx]

Yes, I'm probably further than anyone, lol. Starbucks on 109th st. & Jasper Ave. is the location I've gone to.

[J.Lloy]

Haven't reread the whole thread... any word on the date yet, sometime this week?

[Fox]

Hehe yes...I have asked Burc for a date. My schedule is pretty tight this week so I was hoping for Friday...I hope that isnt too disappointing but my wife has school on Tues and Thursday's...If it needs to come earlier it just means I have to bring my kids with me...I might even be able to find someone to look after them but without knowing a date its tough to arrange at this point.

[Flash]

just buy them a juice they will be fine!

[Fox]

Is that the official ediquette for bringing a 3 and 6 year old to a coffee shop for a couple hours?

[shotzee]

Just thought I would mention that I might be placing an order soon. If anyone forgot to order something on this order, or would like in please let me know by weeks end.

[paddyob]

Hehe yes...I have asked Burc for a date.

I have a 50th Birthday on thurs and im gone for the weekend.Bring the kids.

[paddyob]

Can we arrange for pick up by someone else if you are busy. hard to keep waiting since we ordered and paid. everyone is busy if you know what i mean. i am free wed. ill pick up If you can arrange it. just want this figured out.

[Fox]

Hi Guys,

I understand everyone wants these right away and until I hear from Burc I don't have any answers as to even when he is able to ship them.

I appreciate the urgency but I don't think that anyone is considering how my kids will feel having to sit in a coffee shop for however long it takes to get all of these picked up.

I will do my best to get them here before Friday (that was my easiest day but obviously not the the one that people are happy with) and I am going to do everything I can to make sure that everyone is taken care of, and if anyone needs to arrange someone else to pick them up please let me know ahead of time but until I hear from Burc....Thats all I got.

[mark]

with all the effort you went through to get this together, I can met your schedule, (and Friday works the best for me anyways)

[noirsphynx]

with all the effort you went through to get this together, I can met your schedule

Same goes here and your poor kids would be awfully bored too, I know mine would be.

[subman]

with all the effort you went through to get this together, I can met your schedule,

Yeppers you let me know I'll make it work. Thanks again!

[dawen]

I have a 50th Birthday on thurs and im gone for the weekend.Bring the kids.

what??!?! u not 50 yrs old lol, jk, i dont mind what day it will be here brad, not really a rush, u just do it on ur time and thanks for putting everything together for all of us

[Fox]

I'd like add another argument to the time frame debate...Considering the shift in the weather and the fact that there is a snowfall warning in effect, can we all agree it would be best to wait until later in the week?

The forecast shows Thursday and Friday the best days out of the week with Thursday being partly cloudy at 13 and Friday being the best at 17. I could most likely arrange a sitter for Thursday and Friday is wide open but Wednesday is out for me.

[Flash]

which ever works for me... and if not I am sure someone would pick them up for me... right guys???

[Fox]

Thanks Bean,

That brings up another thing I would like to help out with. I was thinking about how I could help people with pickups if they needed.

I was thinking that if people could post their general location in the city, then if anyone needed a pick up they would know who to ask.

Just a thought, but if you are interested in helping someone out, just post your location and I will make master list here so people don't have to search the whole thread.


Fox - NE : Between 66st and 82st just south of 167st.
J.Lloy - Spruce Grove

[J.Lloy]

comming from Spruce Grove

[paddyob]

I can arrange a short window friday... Between 5-7

[paddyob]

Ok. has Burc Said friday is a go?

[Fox]

Ok. has Burc Said friday is a go?

I still have yet to hear back from Burc...I sent another Pm tho...I'll keep you all posted when I hear back from him...are we all agreed that Friday is the best day because of weather?

[noirsphynx]

Friday sounds like the best day to me as well. If Burc does ship out for Friday arrival will we all be meeting in the afternoon?

[Fox]

I get off work at 3:30. It takes me 15-20 minutes to get home and then by the time I get sorted a minimum 30 minutes to be at Starbucks...Give or take. To make it fair to rush hour traffic on a Friday I would say I could be there 5:30-6...and I will stay until everyone arrives (which will work out well because I don't work on Saturday's)...hehehe

[noirsphynx]

That sounds good to me. I'm assuming since you're at work someone will be home to accept the package and not just leave it on the door step?

[Fox]

DAMN I HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT....................














J/k....My wife is a day home provider and she is home all day...hehehe

HEhe At least you had thought of it...:mrgreen:

[paddyob]

So it looks like we the group are good for Friday, but has Burc replied yet to confirm? Brad, i know you mentioned having sent him a couple messages.

[Fox]

No response yet...I kind of feel bad having left him 4 pm's since the weekend...he's gonna think I am some kind of coral stalker... :mrgreen:

Not saying that i'm not mind you! :twised: :lol:

[Flash]

i disagree! communication is key when doing a transaction!! as busy as he is... a timely response is necessary!

[Fox]

i disagree! communication is key when doing a transaction!! as busy as he is... a timely response is necessary!

I'm not going to disagree with you but there could be a thousand different reason why he hasn't been able to get back to us.

The last time he was even able to log on was 05-14-2009 07:21 PM. Could be a family emergency or something...

If I can sidetrack for a moment, anyone care to do some identifying for me? I like to have all the names of the stuff I keep in my tank.
#36, #66(purple polyp monti), #79(Zoa), #94 (Zoa), #95 (Heart of Atlantis), #99 (meteor shower monti)

Number 95 Is Heart of Atlantis... i too ordered that one. really nice

[Flash]

oh I am not doubting that.. when he puts on sales like this the response he gets is amazing!!! add a full time job onto that and a family and it's just crazy!

[Fox]

Ya that one is gonna add some great contrast to my tank!

Me too, I really like to know what's in my tank. It would be super great if Burc could add the names to the frags on his site.

Can't help you with all of the frags but 66 looks like a purple polyp monti, 95 is right, heart of atlatis & I asked Burc about 99 already because I'm also getting that one and was told it's a meteor shower monti which I can find zero pics of on the net, I thought it was maybe an undata.

Anyone wanna take a stab at some of mine?

Good news all. I woke up to a message from Burc this morning (apparently he had an 8 hour customs inspection yesterday (I won't be complaining about my job anytime soon...LOL))...Anyway he is going to try to get our order out tomorrow and worst case scenario it goes out Monday.

[paddyob]

[Fox]

I would doubt that they would arrive same day...I think the quickest is over night isn't it? Either way I asked Burc to confirm arrival date. If I know when they are going to arrive I can arrange a sitter and then we can coordinate meeting date.

[Flash]

i may have to get someone to grab mine.... if possible... friday would work for me, but thursday and monday are both out...

[paddyob]

I have a 50th birthday for my fiances mom thurs. I would be willing to meet, but the window would be extremely short.... til 630 max. should be same day delivery as cannot just sit in a warehouse as live stock????? does it not come by air???

[noirsphynx]

It won't be Thursday. If Burc sends out tomorrow it will be here Friday, if he sends out Monday it will be here Tuesday.

[paddyob]

Are we seeing this tomorrow?

[Fox]

Are we seeing this tomorrow?

Sorry dude, I haven't heard anything as to whether it will be shipped today or not.

[paddyob]

Good news all. I woke up to a message from Burc this morning (apparently he had an 8 hour customs inspection yesterday (I won't be complaining about my job anytime soon...LOL))...Anyway he is going to try to get our order out tomorrow and worst case scenario it goes out Monday.

We need to get a solid from Burc. It is important as a businessman that he does this. At least he can tell us if there is an issue getting it out (EG.. too much on his plate, not all frags ready, etc.). Having paid for the order, there are certain obligations... such as providing the product in a timely and professional manner, or letting us know why he is unable to do so. We need to be able to plan our lives and right now, this is making things difficult. Is it always this much work to get an order? I am becoming frustrated with this process and lack of communication.

[paddyob]

I sent the following message to Burc:


Hey Burc,

We are trying to coordinate our pick up, but we cannot until we get a solid delivery date set with you.

Can you please give us an indication what the delay is, or if there is a problem with the order. I know you are busy, but it is hard for anyone to plan their own schedules until we know whats going on.


Sorry for the inconvenience.


Patrick

[fragalot]

PMs replied.

I apologize for late PM replies and post. I am having crazy week. Orders are coming out of my ears lol, no complain :)

I should be able to reply emails and PM quick now.

Thanks
Burc

[Fox]

Hey guys, looks like its going to be next week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are still the most difficult for me and if he ships out Monday, then the earliest is Tuesday so I suggest Wednesday which is only 1 day more than than our earliest date...Will that work for the majority of people?

[paddyob]

Hi Patrick

Sorry about late reply. Anyday next week works for me. You guys can deceide which day is good for you and let me know.

Thanks
Burc





Brad, I know you are busy, but we need to get this done and finished. Please arrange date asap.

[Flash]

Hi Patrick

[paddyob]

Weds is good for me.

[paddyob]

oi! lol! nope! hockey all next week! (WHO WANTS TO PICK UP!! lol!)

Oh. is that still going on? lol. ha ha. joke. so order out tuesday... pick up wed?

[Fox]

Just to recap...can we all agree on Wednesday for pick up and if you can make Wednesday then arrange for someone to pick them up for you?

I should be able to make it to the Downtown Starbucks for 5:30-6:00 and I will stay until everyone has had a chance to come and go...last time people were doing some trading/selling of their own frags if anyone wants to do that as well.

[Fox]

OK well I guess Wednesday it is...I will let Burc know!

[fragalot]

Wednesday it is.

Burc

[noirsphynx]

Sorry for my late reply, I've been out but yes Wednesday works for me.

It will be almost impossible for me to pick them up until 8 PM, any help would be appreciated - thanks!

You'd have to contact Burc personally.

[Fox]

Put the details in here and message Burc directly and cross your fingers. Hopefully he'll be able to change it for you.

i am wondering if i could still make changes on the ones i ordered since it wont be out till next week

[dawen]

[subman]

I was thinking the same thing let me know what Burc says. I PM'd him a couple of days ago about this but no response yet.

[paddyob]

I have the feeling that changes may delay our order as if things are getting prepared, he may have to redo things.... and if everyone starts changing things.......

[subman]

I have the feeling that changes may delay our order as if things are getting prepared, he may have to redo things.... and if everyone starts changing things.......

Seriously ... we've waited over a week already I can't see it being a problem. If anyone else has concerns please let me know and I'll make sure I get a hold of Burc and fix it.

[Flash]

can someone that lives on the southside please pic up for me??

[paddyob]

Seriously ... we've waited over a week already I can't see it being a problem. If anyone else has concerns please let me know and I'll make sure I get a hold of Burc and fix it.

Has he replied to your request yet? sure if changes dont affect things i could care less, i would even consider adding... but you know where im coming from.

[Fox]

can someone that lives on the southside please pic up for me??

I believe Subman was picking up for Doo who is also on the southside...

Subman, would you be willing to pick up Bean's as well?

[subman]

Yeah for sure but I do live on the west end but I can surely take them if you want?

[Fox]

Oh sorry mate, I made the assumption based on you picking up Doo's...My bad.

[Doo]

Subman - thanks for the offer - I may take you up on it - I will PM you as we get closer to confirm :)

Doo

[subman]

[Fox]

I have had 1 official pm to let me know that someone else is allowed to pick up frags for someone else.

Unless I get a pm from the person owning the corals, I wont release them so please let me know if you would like to let someone pick them up for you.

Also, I checked one of the other group order threads and Burc let them know that they had been shipped the day of so if I hear anything that you dont, I will let you know.

Cheers!

I am starting my own "Bean Telethon" but instead of cash donations we are looking for a single person that might be coming tonight that lives on the Southside, that would be able to pick up Beans frags!!!

Together We Can Make Beans Dreams Come True!!! :mrgreen:

P.S. Still need ID on #36 (See Above):lol:

I'm not on the south side but if no one else can do it I'll pick up for Lyndsay. I'm sure her & I can arrange a pick up time at some point, I'm always in the city.

[fencer]

I can hold it for Bean if you can't find anybody else....by 3pm

Wayne

[Fox]

So good news...

The frags have arrived. My wife says the hot packs are still warm and she shut them back up (with the exception of ours and Marks)...She did mention that things were a bit stinky tho so cross your fingers!!!

If anyone else needs me to hold for them, please let me know.

So we're a go for tonight eta 5:30 but I suspect I can be there slightly sooner...I will still need to eat at some point in the evening so I would like to make the cut off 7:30...Not set in stone of course...

Please let me know or call me at 780-920-0664 if you are going to come tonight but are going to be later than 7:30. If you don't let me know or call me ahead of time I will assume you cant make it and I will keep them safe in my tank until we can make arrangements to meet.

If anyone needs to make arrangements to have me hold them or someone else to pick them up and let me know who it is if they already haven't.

Does that work for everyone?

[Flash]

I will be there at 5:30

[Fox]

[fragalot]

Bugs??? What kind of bugs?

[Flash]

not sure yet....they are brownish... and quick little suckers! lol! they are small though!

[paddyob]

There will always be pods on coral. regardless of where they come from. i dip all my corals when i get them... since a bad experience. i use seachem Reef Dip. lots came off and died in my dip container. i got one extra frag which is stinky. will die im sure. the other two look fine. So far. Favia Is really nice. im sure the non-stinky zoas Will open today. nice and fat. thanks Brad. you the man! thanks Burc!

Your very welcome. Atlantis zoas has small polyps. I know you really wanted those guys. I hope they are okay.

[paddyob]

Well the small ones are really smelly. not a good sign. you included an extra zoa with big fat stems. not the same i assume? they are not open but look healthy. do you know what the extra was, cause i think the Small ones are going to die.

[Flash]

well perfect then!!! I will fresh water dip them for like 30 and then plop them in after I aclimate them a little more!!!

[fragalot]

I am sure they will be okay. They are tough little guys.. I forgot one frag out of the water almost 45 mins but they opened up next morning. Just in case i will put one frag aside for you if they dont make it please let me know.

Well I hope everyone is happy with how this worked out...

As for my personal corals, I have never tried the stoney corals before (SPS I think?) but I presume if they are white that is not a good sign? Both of mine are almost all white...so I await your answers...hehe but other than that the others look good...cant wait to see them open up...

Burc I will message you when I get more time...Tonight is BOOOOOOOOOOOOKED! HEHEHE...

Landshark, sorry I couldnt stay at Starbucks longer (I waiting till 7:30), if you message me we'll arrange a time to get your corals and me to get my money :P .

Cheers

[fencer]

White = not a good sign..if you see no hint of brown or polyps...also not a good sign. If they are white 24hrs from now...no chance of recovery
