Default In on group order

Well I will probably need some snails, shrimp in the near future also so I'll watch this post and see when the order gets figured out.

Im in for two pails of salt and a couple of Emerald crabs . I just started up my third tank so an approximate date on the salt order would be great.

Stan.

I'd be in for about 60 snails and 10 scarlet hermits. I'm not in any rush but could use them any time.

Harvey,

Do you have a total-to-date for the livestock and salt? I'm curious as to how close (or far) we are from meeting AI's requirements for our order.

Hi guys,

I've made some preliminary calls to suppliers over the past few days, some good news, some bad. This is the first time we've looked at bulk orders, so its a fairly new setup for me.

I have not been able to get a reliable commitment to larger quantities of emeralds, cleaner shrimp or peppermints, so I'm not going to make any promises on them as of yet. I don't want to book orders that I cannot fill. Most of the large collectors will not ship to Canada, because they don't want to deal with the hassles of customs, etc. Generally, they use transhippers this side of the border. Our transhippers have been very good to us in past, but they have staff to pay as well, so they need a percentage.

The snails and hermits should be easier, more a matter of hammering out pricing with our shippers.

Since everyone seems to be discussing Kent salt, I've made some inquiries to that side. We don't normally stock Kent, so the deals aren't pouring in yet. With the current offer I have, pails would be sold at $58.00 plus tax. Give me a few more days to work with our suppliers.

I'm going to be tied up today with livestock shipments and most of this weekend needs to be spent on finishing our reno's. Feel free to stop by if you're in the neighbourhood. The cappacino machine is coming today!

Thanks everyone for showing so much interest. I hope I can work out something to make everyone happy. Like I said, this is a new area to our store. We are not looking to set up to compete against the online retailers, they have enough competition as it is, so I may not be able to make the offers that they do. I'll give it my best and you can decide what is best for each of you.

Thanks again,
Ron

because my job sent me home after 10 minutes....

? = possibly

Muck - 2 pails of salt
Beverly - 4 pails of Kent* salt
Richer - 1 pail of salt
dozen snails (mostly astrea & a few ceriths)
1 cleaner shrimp
? a couple peppermints (I counted this in the total)
newguy - 24 snails (Astrea, Margarita, Cerith)
2 cleaner shrimp
rodsboys - some snails, crabs, cleaner & peppermint shrimp
(this is based on if the prices are cheaper then JL right?)
neiman - 100 snails
2 emerald crabs
6 peppermind
1-2 pails of salt of they are need to place the order
michika - 1 pail of salt (2 if we need the extra to place the order)
15 red scarlet hermits
15 blue hermits
2 fire shrimp
2 emerald crabs
possibly some snails
snaggle - a pail of salt
fortheloveofcrabs - some shrimp snails & hermits
mpishi - 7 dozen nassiurius snails
couple dozen visible molluscs
reefhawk1 - 2 pails salt
2 emerald crabs
Arty Morty - 100 snails
25 hermits
2 emerald crabs
6 peppermints
prairiereefer - 60 snails
10 scarlet hermits
bulletsworld - 20 snails
2 emerald crabs
1 peppermint shrimp
10 hermit crabs
2 pails of salt

Which brings us to the total of;
Salt: 10 pails, but 12 if we count the extra pails that people offered to buy for us to make the cut
Snails: 500 not including the people that posted that they wanted some.
Hermits: 75, yet again not including the "some" people
Crabs: 10 all emerald
Shrimp: 18; 2 fire, 3 cleaners, and the rest peppermint. Yet again numbers don't include people who said some.
Molluscs: 24 visible molluscs

Total; 10-12 pails of salt, 627 of everything else...

My apologies if there are any mistakes...
