Anybody want to do a group order from them and save on shipping? I think shipping is only about $20 but every bit counts these days. Doesn't have to be a lot of people to do this.. Just looking for at least one other person to order with me..

PM me or post here if interested.. :wavehand:

I would but since your in Brandon, it wouldn't make sense given our distance apart.

Same here, I am in New Port Richey, but if there is anyone in the NPR area who is interested I am up for it.

I was thinking the same thing, they did have some good price's on Zoa's but can't get out to Brandon for pick up :(

Doesn't have to be at my house. Wesley chapel isn't too far.. If we get enough people we can just have a central pickup point.

I might be up for that.

I would too, how would it work? would we give you the order of what we want than pay you when they come in? I've never done a group order other than what the club has offered.

That is not so, nobody in Brandon wants to open their house for a TBRC meeting. :)

I would if my mom wouldn't be so crazy about the house being picked up! :furious: lol Not that my tank is much to look at though. Although my nieghbor does have a 90 so maybe a multi-house meet? haha

This would be great! :D

What size tank do you btw?

Lol yes, I feel the same way. Only meet I have ever been to was the one at the HCC campus. Everything else is so far and with gas prices the way they are can't really afford to drive to spring hill, etc.

Maybe we could put together a twice-a-year meet for all us brandon people.. just an idea.. or a frag swap.. yeah a frag swap would be nice..

I would too, how would it work? would we give you the order of what we want than pay you when they come in? I've never done a group order other than what the club has offered.

That works I guess, I don't have to take total control of this thing by any means. I don't mind doing the work but if somebody else wants to then by all means step in!

I haven't done a group order either but with shipping the way it is and most of the pickup points for group orders are half the price of shipping in gas getting there. It just hasn't been worth it to me.

As soon as we get this worked out I can start taking emails and sending off info.. We just need to figure out who's house we pick up at or if somebody like reeffinatic would be willing to meet us brandon peoples at one spot with the order. (Huge thanks to reeffinatic for the offer btw! We don't get people doing that enough!)

No Problem.... I have three tanks total, 210 mixed reef mostly LPS just now getting into the SPS. another 210 Fowlr Aggressive tank fish I cant have in my reef, I got tired of looking at nice fish that I couldnt have in my reef tank. A 60 gallon cube reef I am slowly building up. You have seen pics of my tank which now it looks alot different I literally am running out of spots but I can always move stuff around LOL.

I went to their site to look and the zoanthid area was taken off, I e-mailed them to find out if they do not have anymore so I am waiting on their response. The Zoa's were the only thing I was intereted in. will let you know once they get back to me.
Thanks,
Laura

Ok, no problem. Not sure why they would've removed it..

They're also out of jawfish.. Not sure if its just a seasonal thing or maybe their moving? I have no idea..

The link on the left side is gone but you can get to the zoas from dome other link, don't remember where it was tho...wish you were ordering from somewhere else, they don't have anything I want. Live aquaria would have been awesome

Thanks for letting me know.

Perhaps somebody else would want to do a group order for liveaquaria? I would just post it like I did and see what you get. Just an idea..

I did see those but the other link had some blue ones and some purple ones that I was interested in, I am still waiting for them to respond - hopefully soon

Maybe they're in the process of updating the site? I have no clue. Does look like quite a few of the zoa's that were there before are no longer there though..

Mangodude

Mattliu, good to have somebody with purchasing experience, thanks for joining.

What would you be ordering? I'm trying to send them over an order form so I can get a price quote for shipping.

Good Luck

They seem to take a few days for emails, I don't mind waiting on you for a few more days. :thumbsup:

I will go ahead and send them the order form though and if needed we can always get another quote.

Woke up this morning to an e-mail from them, they are out of the Zoa's and are hoping to get more in, in about a week or so. Maybe I can make the next group buy from them?

So what is the status of us making an order? I am in no hurry, but I want to budget for it.

Mangodude
04/09/2011, 01:22 PM
I just sent them an email with the current order without Coral C's extra's. I'll post the shipping quote as soon as they email back.

Coral C's I don't mind waiting a week if no-one else is in a hurry. I hate being left out because I was a few days late so I don't mind waiting. :thumbsup:

Works for me, Friday is payday anyway. It will keep it from being a tight weeks for me.

Just got an email back from Ccritters, shipping for everything but Corals C's order comes out to $18 for overnight shipping.

They are out of neon/cleaner gobies until the 18th though so we will have to wait another few weeks.

Coral C's
04/10/2011, 11:31 AM
I will check back with them in a week or so to see if they have gotten any in. I don't want anyone to hold up there stuff because of me though. If your order has not shipped and we can add than great but otherwise don't wait on me. Thanks guys :)

Hmm. That could be good or bad... i get paid Friday = good. I may want to get more = bad...who am I kidding thats good.

Alright, 4 days till they get the neon gobies in (ie. the purchase date).

Who's house are we picking up at? My house is fine with me but I dont' know what everyone else wants. I don't mind holding stuff at my house for a day or two if that makes it any easier. I know most people want their stuff that day though..

PM for my email add. is that's easier to work with..

They have added some zoa's but none that interest me at this time. I will have to try and catch the next group order. Good luck with this one.

We're waiting on Mattilu.. I need to confirm everything with him but he hasn't been on for almost a week..

Edit: apparently he was on last night but he's not accepting PMs or emails so I have no way to contact him at this time..

Mattilu, please post here or pm me.

if anoyne wants to not have to drive to brandon to pick it up I will gladly bring it to new tampa after I get out of work because I work in brandon everyday. Just to save you guys some gas money.

Mangodude
04/18/2011, 08:11 PM
You're going to be waiting an awfully long time.

Great.. anybody have his phone #? pm me if you do..

If he doesnt respond in the next day i guess we'll be ordering without him..

Mangodude, I can't PM or email through RC at the moment. Go ahead without me. You guys will be happy with the order, sorry about the hold up.

Don't mean to hijack your post, but I recently ordered from Cramers. I ordered a CUC, ricordea and a couple other things. I was very pleased with the packing and quality of the critters I received. The only minor issue was the delay from the time I ordered until it was shipped out. It was probably more my fault for being impatient combined with Dana being busy running a small business. Overall very happy and would definitely order from her again. The prices on livestock were good and shipping rates were also very competitive.
