fragalot
 
Hey has anyone ordered from fragalot? experiences?

I have tried to contact them and place an order but have not received a reply - it been 3 days.

Do a search of that vendor on this forum. There is a lot said about him.

That should be a big enough hint right there...imagine how much longer you would need to wait if you had a problem with your order (and you likely will).

I will never chase a company to spend my money with them. I'm pretty easy going as far as customers go but there are limits.

A google search or a search of this forums should give you all the information you need to make a decision on if you want to be their customer.

Personally I'd give Mad Jelly or Fragbox a jingle instead. They excel at customer service.

Burc is currently relocating, so that might be one of the reason why he has not been able to get back to you.

I give Mad Jelly my vote. Haven't ever had such a smooth livestock delivery.

Who's this Mad Jelly Corals you guys speak of???

saltyair 10-03-2013 03:53 PM

Thanks everyone for the heads up - I had a friend recommend them. But I did answer my own question LOL - 3 days is a long time for a response imo - or at least an acknowledgment.

LoJack 10-03-2013 04:00 PM

I will never give Fragalot another dollar ...

I've had great success with Coral Master, and have heard nothing but good things about MJC, Fragbox, and CanadaCorals.

I'd recommend them before I would ever do business with Burc. It will be one excuse after another ... and a 6-10 day wait between each one

This shows class to the enth degree, well done Mr. Tony.....Now if you only carried LPS colonies......

To answer the original post I haven't had any huge issues with Burc but have worked a long time to develop a relationship with him. Some of my best LPS colonies have come from him.

Someone needs casually drop a pail of mud in this thread and disappear quietly into the crowd. My days of antagonistic behaviour and general **** disturbing are behind me.....I think, maybe, should be........

Has he been constantly relocating over the past several years?

This is not a new problem. We waited weeks for a paid order once. He would not even contact to say it was or was not sent.

I do believe he had so many complaints against his bad practices that Canreef removed him as a sponsor.

What does that say? Canreef never wanted his money. But he will take yours.

Probably because people want to lynch him for his S****Y service. I dealt with him once, that was enough.

Good on Ya
You're much nicer now :wink:

Uh oh, here it comes ...

Hey look, a squirrel !

JmeJReefer 10-04-2013 03:41 AM

Avoid!
 
Avoid this vendor at all costs! There are a host of other vendors offering stellar coral other than this clown. If ya want a botched order and poor customer service, this place might be for you.....

Fragbox, Big Show Frags, Mad Jelly, reef wonderland would be a solid, reliable, and pain free decision...

IMO

kien 10-04-2013 04:04 AM

Did someone say squirrel??????????

MrTreat 10-06-2013 11:38 PM

...wow, I thought it was just us!

Glad to see someone has made a thread about how horrible this guy is as a supplier! I just wish I had seen this before placing an order with him. What a joke! I hope he looses all his customers and fragalot goes belly up soon.

Proteus 10-06-2013 11:48 PM

Well not to start any drama but I've had constant good orders. Good comunication.

But that's just me

Got some stunning stuff from him.

Hey the more other people complain the more good stuff is left for those of us who actually like Burcs stuff.

Coral Hoarder 10-07-2013 05:05 AM

Wow, spelling not a high priority eh?

What do you mean by "ineradicable" selection? Seriously, your spelling seems to be getting worse over time. I hate being the spelling & grammar police but it is posts like this that drives a lot of us "old-timers" crazy. Appreciate your enthusiasm for this hobby and willingness to post and help, but trying to read what you type is like deciphering a code sometimes.

Creative spelling of "incredible" that happened to be an entirely different word? Or fragalot has a selection of indestructible corals...but based on survival history, I'mma go with option 1.

kaboom 10-07-2013 02:43 PM

LOL

kien 10-07-2013 02:47 PM

I dare say, fragalot is indeed, ineradicable. Even though canreef has tried, he seems to keep coming back :lol:
