View Full Version : Calgary Fragalot Order #2?

Hey all,

I have been approached by a couple of members who missed out on the Calgary Fragalot Order that just went through. Not sure what the timeline or dates were like on that shipment. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who was interested in getting in on another Calgary order, or perhaps anyone who just ordered needed anything else. I have organized 2 of these orders in the past with quite good success and have been in touch with Burc lots (he is always excellent to deal with in my personal experience). If there is enough interest I will entertain the idea of a Calgary order in the near future. This is not the best time of year for livestock shipments so please take that into consideration. I am also going to plead with Burc to update his site, which was not done in time for the last order. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

Thanks!

This would be a good time, seems he has lots of nice stuff as we just ordered from him. Even my order was all sps and everything made it looking great.
Also received a bunch of maxi minis and rock flowers, zoas etc. Everything looks great.

Just throwing that out for anyone skeptical of doing sps. He is using heat packs right now due to weather being cold. And I think that is what made the difference.

He more then likely won't update the site, but rather will email you a list of what he currently has with pictures and pricing.

Anyone else have any feedback on the previous order? Sounds encouraging and yes he said he could send along an email with updates. I will keep everyone in the loop.

I organized the last order. Burc was EXCELLENT to deal with. He answered emails usually within 5 minutes. I was at one point even emailing him early on a Sunday morning and his responses were under five minutes.

We were delayed one day on shipping because he had a bad batch of heat packs. I can tell you it was worth the one day wait in order for us to receive our order alive.

We did have a couple of guys who had a couple of DOA's but for an order of that size I would expect a couple. One guys order was missed for which Burc is handling personally to make it right. We did have some pieces show up that weren't what people ordered but again with an order as big as we had it wasn't a big deal. We've sent the discrepancies to Burc and just waiting for his response.

Overall he was amazing to deal with. We got our order one day later although I'm sure it would have arrived earlier if it were not for his heat pack issue. I would not hesitate to order from Burc again. Outstanding service and the frags are all top notch.

Yah the last order was awesome :)

If this group order is going through, I will thrown in some bucks to get some montis; couldn't just get enough out of the last order :P

P.S. Burc is awesome to deal with as long as you are awesome to deal with ;) He personally told me he doesn't bother if people don't co-operate :P

mrhasan
11-12-2012, 11:06 PM
I will be more than happy to grab the current list and email it to people who are interested :) Burc always keeps me updated with recent stocks so will not be a problem for me to get hold of the list.

After all, I was able to grab it while many people were busy complaining or trying to find the updated list ;)

Littlefishy
11-12-2012, 11:11 PM
He sends me the lists too, just thinking it would be easier if he updated the site. Yes, he is great to work with. Send emails out to those who just ordered if you would please, thanks!

mrhasan
11-12-2012, 11:14 PM

Well I requested him to update it but he said that most of the stocks comes in and gets sold right away and hence he doesn't update it.

I'd probably be interested, missed out on the last couple and was kinda sceptical about it, but what's 20$ here or there. If I could get the list that'd be much appreciated too.

Littlefishy
11-12-2012, 11:41 PM
Yea I don't blame Burc, lots of stuff is always going through.

I sent him an email so when I hear from him I will send out the list. Anyone who is interested start sending me your emails!

If you sent a budget, you will always cross it ;) So its better to not set anything and just order :P

Example: my budget started from 30 and ended at 95 LOL

youll learn in time with burc its all risk , i simply want to reduce the amount of risk. from my understanding i had someone over in the last order and his whole order was doa and stuff not what he ordered....sounds like the same ol burc to me so ill hold out for the website is all as i really dont NEED anything lol:)

Littlefishy
11-13-2012, 12:36 AM
Hmm... the first time I ordered my budget was $50... I spent $375... :sad:

Denny I just asked and Burc said he would send me an email with new pics... Is that a no go for you?

As soon as I gauge the interest I can determine dates.

I know one's order was totally missing but didn't know about a whole DOA order. I got a blue tenius which died overnight but is recovering but it was a freebie :P

Yah I will agree, reading all the comments, and seeing how many orders he carries out every week, there's always risk.

At the end, I just say, everyone can never give a service as good as Greg (Snappy). :)

can we get a list with prices i hate all the back and forth id like to be able to just see a pic and a price then i can easily say yay or nay. him sending pics without a name or price doesnt interest me but if he sends you a list of names,pics and prices ill be in.

i can be in for as much as 500 or as little as 10 depending on what he sends you hehe:)

He will be sending pictures with name. I can help you with the prices since he doesn't include it in the pictures; just the referencing name. I bugged him a lot to find out the prices ;)

well this person wont order again i can almost guarantee that i gave warninga last time without a site udate its a mix match of orders, we always have large orders ours have done well because we make burc meet us half way which is only fair , if you do it as a rush it fails, patience is the key to burc;)

ps ....your freebie dyig is still a doa none the less i can give out dead freebies all day whats that say??

Yap I can't agree more that patience is the key to Burc :)

Well it wasn't dead on arrival but was beaten up pretty bad and took the night to die. If you give me a dead freebie, I will complain because its you ;) But since that sps was DOA, I won't complain since I kept my expectation low, hearing everything about Burc so wasn't disappointed at the end. But I know you won't do it so if you do it, I will be disappointed ;)

Hey Denny, not sure what you heard or who you heard it from but no one on our order had their order come in DOA. I know because I unpacked everyone's order. One guy was missing his entire order but Burc is making good with that.

His response to me with regards to his website was that it is almost impossible to keep it up to date. A lot of the new stuff that he gets in is gone so quick he'd be spending all his time updating his website. So instead of keeping the website up to date he sends out the updated lists on what he has. He says it's way more efficient that way and his customers have the opportunity to get the latest and greatest. kinda makes sense to me. Personally I'd rather have him focus on my order than spending all his time updating a website.

Cleaner shrimp will not touch it. I recommend Halloween or Cone shell hermits for hair algae.

As long as the tank is fully cycled; it should be fine. Then again there's no guarantee ;) But coral don't add much bioload for a system to crash unless you put like 100 corals in a 10 gallon or something.

I would caution against that. I have been warned to be careful on stocking after a fragalot order from some very experienced reefers. I actually had someone hold half of my order for a week once so I could do it in two stages.

If you do have an order, the sooner you send it to me the better. This way I can confirm your stock now and reserve it for our order. If everyone waits until the cut-off this Saturday you may have some of your items unavailable. PM me

SPS sent to me from Burc were usually 60-70% DOA with temps on arrival too cold. LPS were always fine, but not always as advertised

Just before the rumor mill gets out of control, I will clear things up. There was an issue with our order but I would like to stress that it was EXCLUSIVELY on FedEx's part and not any fault of Burc's. Burc tried his best to fix it when we found out initially, and now he is working very hard to clear up FedEx's mistake.
