Ginu 06-09-2012 03:19 AM

That's good news because I work on Thursday's and Friday evenings and days.

Now would anyone from north van be able to pick my order up when they get theirs as most likely won't be able to pick it up until late wed.

Thanks,

Snaz 06-09-2012 04:36 PM

Please Pay

Good news :)

Can't wait to fill the tank with more frags.

Cheers,

Coasting 06-12-2012 08:20 PM

So I sent burc an 2 or 3 e-mails last week, no reply.
Sent him my EMT on the weekend, it hasn't been accepted yet.

Dont know whats going on :S

SeaHorse_Fanatic 06-12-2012 08:51 PM

As before, I will post on here once the Fedex package arrives. If anyone still needs my contact number or address, please pm me.

Expect everyone to pick up their frags on Wednesday. I sleep late so coming after work is not a problem.

Coasting 06-12-2012 09:18 PM

Phew! Got a reply and transfer accepted. Yay for frags on the way!

Fluked out that I'm not needed tomorrow so I will be there to pick my frags up ASAP!

Glad to hear it all worked out.

Bugsy 06-12-2012 11:22 PM

I have a question in regards to ordering from this company.

Heard lots of negative things and some positive.

How reliable is this company?

Do they send you the frags that are shown on their site? Or do they send something else?

Good healthy frags?

In my experience I've got nothing but good things to say.
Sure some frags arrived doa however it's to be expected as we don't pick what we want in a store. For the doa frags I got credit so there is nothing to complain about.
In My last order I had ordered 9 frags and 3 were doa; the healthy frags look awesome and recovered well within the day which left me pleased with them.
Also the prices are more than reasonable and I will buy from fragalot again; this is my second order from fragalot.

Bugsy 06-12-2012 11:48 PM

That is good to hear, do they have a phone number?

How long did it take for them to get to you?

Have you ordered any rics from him? If so were you happy with them?

I'm not part of this order but I did the last one, and I got two rics that are doing great!

Bugsy 06-13-2012 01:19 AM

Are the frags nice size?

What do they come mounted on?

Mounted on standard plugs. The website will say "$10 for 5-7 heads" or something similar but usually you get more so it is a nice bonus. My lady last Acan was advertised as three heads but it arrived with five+

Frags are nice size and come mounted on cora plugs or tiles

Last shipment I got a ric (multicolored) and its very nice in size and it's doing very well so I'm getting another ric this shipment.
Only drawback is the fact that it doesn't look 100% like in the pic however I use a MHI lamp and 453 blue LEDs for atinics so there is no chance it will ever look the same... Regardless I love my ric and do does my pistol shrimp, I do t know how he does it but he manages ro move a ric on a plug to his hole. :mrgreen:


My watermellon zooas are awesome looking and honestly it's huge...I would say its almost double what I expected.

dreef 06-13-2012 03:12 AM

If your pleasant with Burc,even if your upset about something,he will make it good with you.I swore years ago never again..100% doa..sps..but that's all i order.He's changed and replys to my emails very promptly and my frags are almost always multiple branched and can be 2 inches tall.Here's a 1 inch frag from a march group order,more like an inch and a 1/2 ...the sexy piece mid pic

Bugsy 06-13-2012 03:41 AM

That is good to know there are so many happy people. I am interested in a couple paly's and a couple rics.

What email do you all use to contact him?

And lastly about how long (days) are these corals in transit?

dreef 06-13-2012 04:02 AM

They are shipped overnight email bucak@sympatico.ca

SeaHorse_Fanatic 06-13-2012 10:01 AM

Working till 3 in the morning, going to bed & waking up before 9 am to make sure I can see the FEDEX truck when it gets here in the morning - Yeah!!!

If I'm kinda groggy when you come pick up your frags, you now know why.

See you all Wednesday.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 06-13-2012 03:58 PM

Too hyped up to sleep much last night (finally dozed off around 6am). Up and waiting for the FEDEX truck. 9am is the earliest. Noon is supposedly the latest. Last time is was around 10:30ish. I will post on here when its in.

I'm all excited however at work until later on tonight :)

Has anyone heard from Burc in regards to the refund for shipping? I've emailed him yesterday but no action was taken...

Ginu 06-13-2012 10:46 PM

Anybody get their frags?
How do they look?

SeaHorse_Fanatic 06-13-2012 10:56 PM

My stuff all looks FABULOUS:biggrin: Couldn't be happier.

Snaz 06-13-2012 11:11 PM

Pictures please. My zoas are still closed, probably tomorrow before they open.

Saw the "odd" neon rainbow acans Derek got last time and had to get some of my own. And Burc told me he was out, super excited about these ones. Havnt opened up much however. Hope they make it.

Purple tip torch - Credit. Didn't handle shipping well at all. Water was quite brown :( one side already looks like its about to fall apart, exactly what my torch did last time. Been waiting for 6 months to get some torch. I think Torch coral just hates me :(

All in all, SUPER HAPPY. Day 1 and except that oddball Neon rainbow (which I think look better), everything looks just like what Burc shows on the website.

Rogue951 06-14-2012 12:44 AM

Raspberry Mili and what I think was a red planet arrived bare white skeleton.
Pocci has flesh but not sure if it'll make it.

I give up on mail ordering.

I have some vain hope the odd patch of flesh on the skeletons will grow. but I know it won't.
=(

ug.mac 06-14-2012 03:13 AM

I got mine also but too busy to take pictures today.
All acan I received are in good condition, White lines acan I ordered suppose come two heads per frag, I got 5 instead; Teal and Red Aussie Acan of course looked nothing like the picture; Purple Teal Acan should really be named as Brown Acan.

Overall I'm happy with my order, not only they are my first bunch of acans, also $31.5 well spent for what I got. I want to thank both Keith and Anthony again for their time and effort in this GB. I'm really appreciated.

ug.

THose bags look like they have deflated. Without some air of some sort fish or coral will surely die. If this is the case then I think Burc owes you some more coral. The fact that the water is brown indicates to me that there was living coral when it shipped but they just died due to no air.
