group buys in Van?

[Aquattro]

Just an FYI, when you order a box of fish (or corals), what you order is often (always?) not what ends up coming in the box. Anything not available at the time the box is shipped gets substituted with whatever is on hand.
The wholesale list the LFS has is just a brief of what is generally available, but it still comes down to whatever is the "catch of the day" at the source. This means 20-40% of the people involved in the group buy don't get what they want, and then someone gets stuck with the fish. You know how the LFS always defends poor purchases with "Hey, I didn't order it, it just came in the box"? It's the truth!! So if you're going to tranship an order, have a plan for these leftovers.
