Default Fragalot order Calgary

I really want some ric's and acans and fragalot has a bunch pretty cheap. I've ordered before and was pleased with it. Has to happen in the next few weeks before weather gets crazy-ier. Anyone else want to place and save shipping?

I am in But with the current condition of the weather, I doubt whether people would risk it; particularly in Calgary.

I'd be willing to add a couple of things to the order to test the waters, but the weather does concern me a bit. I think the delivery would have to be timed very well.

Also, is he willing to do "Saturday hold for pickup?" I ordered from Fragbox last week, and I really appreciated that he was willing ship on Friday for it to be held for pickup on Saturday. It cost a little more, but it saved my corals from bouncing around in a delivery truck. I think that is even a bigger concern with the weather.

Yah I not just a bit concerned but extremely concerned about the weather. Winter has come way too soon, especially in Calgary. Maybe mother nature is trying to make up her lack of winter last year

Alongside, fragalot does have some very tempting stuffs with very tempting price but doesn't have the best rep of shipping, particularly the correct stuffs. The weather might make it worse don't you think? But if some people are willing to risk it, I am in too

If Denny spearheaded the order I'd be in for two or three hundred. My concern is with this many people in on an order of this size, how will I know I'm getting the corals I ordered. Some show up all browned out, and some are unidentifiable after shipping.

What if three people order the same piece and one is DOA? Then who's out the dead coral?

Also if we're placing this big of an order I'm sure Burc would throw in a few extra pieces. Who would get those? I mean he's probably looking at an order over a grand so I"m sure he'll spend the time to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I guess if Denny can organize it I wouldn't have a problem with him getting the kickbacks. I've bought quite a few pieces off Denny and I trust my order of $200-$300 in his hands for sure. He's probably the most capable of unpacking/caring for the corals and holding them for sure!!!!!

I dunno....Denny what do you think?

He doesnt stick 100 coral in a bag and send it off like that. Each coral is bagged on its own, and all the coral belonging to 1 persons order gets put in a bag with their name. So the box will have numerous bags that have names on them.
