Calgary Fragalot Order #2

[Littlefishy]

Anyone interested in doing another order? Last time was a great success. Let me know!

[Arok3000]

I'd be in for $10 on the firehawk zoas.
Hopefully they'll actually arrive this time.

I can try my best to confirm 100% that those are what you will receive.

[Pinnochio5]

So what exactly do these orders do? I tell you what I want to order and then it goes to your address and I come and pay you for the coral and shipping? The benefit is that because I'm not always home someone else can get the coral for me?

Basically you don't pay shipping and someone will be there to get your order from FedEx when it opens, and hold it till you get it. You pay the company yourself and give me your order. Any other questions?

When are you thinking ?

[Portuguesenrg]

Im intrested , pm me i have some questions :)

[Littlefishy]

When are you thinking ?

Depends on the amount of response I get. If I get a decent amount of orders perhaps within the next week or two.

Wow! That does sound appealing. But if I'm paying the company then how do I not pay shipping? Is there some group buy link of some sort?

[Madmak]

I'm in for $100 or so.

If the group orders $300 worth of stuff shipping is free :-)

No group buy link. I believe you deal with fragalot directly and order with him by giving him your list, money and name and just let him know you're a part of this group order. He will collect all the orders and ship them all to one address (free if order is over $300).

I'm in for $50 if this thing goes through. :biggrin:

[reefwars]

ill prob be in again erin depending on when it happens, can you get burc to update the site or if theres any news on new arrivals:):)

[Pinnochio5]

Alright then count me in! (40-50$)

[jorjef]

Even if you guys don't make it to free shipping it will only cost $45.00 to ship to Calgary which amounts to peanuts when you have 4-5 people. Someone take the bull by the horns and head up the order. :lol:

[Pinnochio5]

So when is the order gonna be?

[boedenalfonso]

so i let u know i want to b part of this order than i order from them let them know im part of the group order pay them, when they arrive u will be there to receive order than contact me to come pick up? so we place order after u contact fragalot and let em know about the order and when would that be? i prolly be in for $50-$100

[Finnegan]

I am in.

[reefwars]

Here's how it works guys.

We start a group order, we will contact Burc letting him know we are doing a group ordet.
People are to browse the site and make a list of the frags they want.submit the list to the canreef group buy. We will work with burc for availability.

There will be a cutoff date for choices and a payment date.

Payment must he made to fragalot.
if you pay by emt then no tax.

Once all payments have been received it will schedule a delivery day.

Once the parcel arrives we will get people to pick up the orders.

Our last order went fantastic;)

[Enigma]

I am in. I can't go too crazy as I've pretty much run out of room in my display, but I can squeeze a couple more in. ;)

[Littlefishy]

I am heading up the order so PM me your list (include quantity and prices). Please give me your full real name and phone number. Email too. Sounds like the questions have been well answered, thanks for the help. I will ask how recently the site has been updated. Thanks!

[Midway]

Count me in too!!

[Littlefishy]

And Burc is already expecting our order.

[Littlefishy]

When do people want to close this order?

[Enigma]

Have any issues arisen with the corals ordered last time? Disease (brown jelly)?Anything quickly deteriorate or not heal up from the fragging the way it should? I have my list made up . . . I just want to know if I should take anything off of it.

Any issues with pests on any of the corals? Zoa eating Nudis or anything?

I need to trim my list somehow. I don't really have room for everything on it.

[claymax]

sometimes with zoas you end up with something different from what you ordered, and most of the sps ive received was in rough shape(although most make it) but ive never had an issue with the LPS all really good looking pieces, healthy fleshy not faded.

Thanks! I'll make some adjustments . . . but I think may order may just have gotten bigger. :redface:

I can set up a frag tank for the time being.

It looks like the website may have been updated. Is this the case? If so, my order remains unchanged. :)

[Littlefishy]

I do not believe the website has been updated. I have been checking all weekend. Keep checking in!

Anyone want me to keep this open a bit longer? Still waiting for site update...

[Littlefishy]

Having discussed this with a couple of people, we are going to wait for the site update. The order cut-off is being postponed to Friday the 8th. Payment due by the 11th. Shipment arriving the 16th. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[Enigma]

We'll be out of town on the new arrival date. I'm canceling my order as a result.

I'll get in on the next one (providing the arrival date isn't when we're out camping). :)

[reefwars]

[Littlefishy]

I sent out confirmations PM's so if you ordered and did not receive a message than send me a PM ASAP! Thank you everyone :biggrin:

[Enigma]

How did this go? Some updates would be great.

[yycguy]

All my frags survived and doing well so far..... Thanks again Erin

[Midway]

I can't say the same here. Three of my frags died, one almost did not have any zoas on it so that's a loss too. Only two survived out of six.

[SteveConn]

My orange clove may be a goner (hasnt opened up) and my only SPS (german red polyp acro) was DOA.. Everything else looks OK to great.

[Littlefishy]

My order went well for me. I am in LOVE with my Flame BTA. I will post a picture in a bit.
Sorry to hear about your experience Manny, most everyone else I have spoken to had a great experience and are asking when the next order will be. Some things ship better than others, SPS are one of those items that do not.

Steve, I ordered Cloves last order and they looked pretty dreadful for almost a month (almost gave up and threw them in the sump). They are flourishing now and have tripled in number so hang in there.

Thank you again to everyone who was in on this order. Your quick communication and speedy pick-up made everything go very smooth! Thanks :biggrin:

[Enigma]

Did anyone order any rics? How are they doing, if so?

(I'm pondering what I'll order in the event of another group buy)

[Littlefishy]

I did. They are doing really nicely, fully expanded and a good size! Nice colour

I ordered 5 things. Three are now dead and 2 are alive. One of the two living things wasn't what I ordered.

Locally the setup was handled well and they were great to deal with. Might just be the length of the S&H. Also, FYI - when on the www site it says 5 polyps for a Zoa - they are the smallest 5 polyps in the tank.

Overall. I'm not planning to do this again - If I do, it wont be Zoas.

I only spent $50 and still have 2 small live frags left.

it is what it is.

Others seem to have had a great outcome........ I saw some of the items that came in and they looked good.

[sphelps]

It's always going to be hit or miss with frag-a-lot, just like it's always been. Better service really doesn't change that and the main reason for better reviews these days are really only a result from more people knowing what to expect. I didn't participate this round as I wasn't impressed with the last order, only got half what I wanted with the rest being substitutes, all SPS dies within a few days, frag sized ranged from overly generous for stuff I didn't really care for and ridiculously small for stuff I did. In the end I got a few nice zoas that I wanted but could have easily got them locally for less money overall.

If you're going to order do so with the expectation of being disappointed then if by chance it works out really great you can start a yay frag-a-lot thread and tell us all about it :lol:
