The price is great and having delivered to my door is terrific. Very disruptive to the LFS who continues to resist competing at a national level.

No kidding right. As much as I like to support my LFSs I love having that big heavy bucket brought to my door for free!

I filed a complaint to Amazon about my broken bucket a few weeks ago but have not heard anything.... oh well, it was worth a shot.

The last salt(22 kg.) i got from Amazon.ca came in a bag delivered in a box.
I think that's the method they've switched to.

Mine showed up yesterday in a pail. Maybe you got lucky and they shipped you the 25kg box by accident?

I just checked my last order, and it was the box I ordered. I guess my thoughts about them
shipping salt in bags and boxes is just wishful thinking.

My salt did come bagged inside of the bucket but I think I'm going to put it in my own pail anyway. I have one with a rubber gasket in the lid and I'm not sure how well the AF buckets actually seal once the bag is opened. Next time around if I like the salt I'm going with the box.

I use a old(Instant Ocean) bucket with a rubber gasket as well. Gives a nice tight seal.

Well they weren't lying to you. The jug showed up today - which blew my mind considering I ordered it two days ago. There was no box, no instructions - just a small jug. I checked out the web site and sure enough, it's meant for a dosing I don't have one so I found an unused syringe for dosing. Not a big deal. I guess we'll see how well this stuff works in conjunction with ProBioticS.

Hehe, nothing on the jug about dosing? The Component 1+2+3+ have instructions written on the jugs, but no instructions on paper are supplied.

Nope. Nothing at all on the jug. Oh well I'm glad I found some instructions on the web site.

Are you dosing ProBioS and NP Pro daily, Myka? I thought I read somewhere that if you're dosing NP Pro that you only need to dose ProBioS for two weeks and then NP Pro will sustain the bacteria going forward.
