how long did you wait for your rock

Not complaining just eager..........

If you have ordered already how long did it take to get your rock and sand......did they come together or on different days?

I feel like my 5 year old at Christmas!

My rocks came within a week.

At first I was extatic (sp?) because I had received an email asking about the dimensions of my tank so he could ship appropriate sized rocks. When the rocks arrived they were,however, basically boulders. 50 lbs and I got 4 large rocks and 1 smallish one. I think the smallish one actually broke off one of the others in shipping. The packaging was nowhere near as good as the photos on the website. This actually didn't turn out for the worst as I have busied myself carving caves and swimthroughs in the boulders. It kind of gives my own artistic input to the rocks.

My sand has yet to arrive and it's been two weeks. I used the provided tracking number and it claimed the packages were in Okeechobee Fl being held for pick up. I live in VA. I sent an email and he claimed that the postoffice tracking was slow to update. He said I would have them on Monday 19th. I couldn't help but notice that would be 3 shipping days from his reply. I honestly think they shipped them to the wrong place.

I hope I'm not raining on your Christmas but this is how it's worked out for me so far.

What is that old saying?? Speak of the devil and he will appear?

1 Hour after making my comment the sand was on my front porch. I WAS WRONG about them shipping it somewhere else. I even checked dates on the shipping labels. Yup, it was sent last Monday just as Reef Rocks claimed. It really did take the USPS (priority mail) a week to get it here.

I hope yours arrives soon.

Ken
