Default Big Show Frags Review

Just wanted to post a note here about a purchase that I made from Big Show Frags. I made a purchase from them this week and was very satisfied with the product that I received. I got and open brain coral, gold torch and a clam from them. All items were shipped from Big Show to me in Vancouver B.C. All corals and the clam were all well packaged and arrived alive. I found Dave easy to deal with and he gave me great customer service. He was prompt with a refund when I made a mistake and sent him an over payment via PayPal. This was my first purchase from them and I would purchase from Big Show again should they have items that I want.

Thanks

Funny, Big Show Dave has been less then friendly to me. He has refused to let me use my refund he owes me as part of a group buy. He insists that I pay for shipping. All this after him getting me kicked off of Canreef.

Buyer beware.

I didn't think you can advertise for non vendors anyways....

You can't, this is a review. All members are permitted to post a positive or negative review of any service, business or product, so long as it's constructive criticism. Of course good etiquette must be observed at all times.

Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Hey:

I was just trying to post something positive. Kind of starting to wish I had not but the post out there. I was just trying to tell people about a experience I had through a transaction I made. I like to leave feed back when I buy something on line in hopes that it helps other people make and informed decision before they spend their cash. All I got from my transaction with Big Show Frags was what I ordered and good service nothing else. I'm not advertising for them and got nothing in return for my post.

I tried to place an order from Big Show a few years back... 2 or so years... Cant remember exactly 2013 sometime I think? Prior to him being a vendor on here either way.
I had great communication while I picked out what I wanted. Then all of a sudden all communication stopped. I sent numerous emails and even attempted phoning and watched other people get orders from him, while I couldn't get a single thing out of him.
I had more then $500 worth in frags picked out. Not sure if it was because I wasn't a group buy so 1 person isn't worth it... or I asked too many questions but apparently I wasn't worth Big Shows business.
So I will NEVER be giving my money to a place that cant even be bothered to return my emails.
Not to mention how intensely photo shopped and over priced those frags are now.

When you take 1000 pics a month, it generally gets set to one setting. I have some proof that it's not photoshopped.. just simple white balanced pics

EDIT: Pics removed because they contained links to non-vendor website and inventory pictures.
