ssappington Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Beware of this seller! I got hooked in because of the valentines day sale, what I received were tiny, poorly packed corals in a scant amount of water that looked and smelled like they had been dead for a week! (I've ordered online many, many times and know how healthy coral should be shipped) I contacted the seller (the only way is via e-mail), got a cryptic response about how he would contact me in the morning, and never heard anything else! I guess I should have done my forum searches before ordering!! live and learned I guess- online sellers like this not only hurt themselves, but those who strive to do it right!

Arsonmfg Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That sucks, seems to be a more and more common thing these days. Paypal or Amex that's the only way I buy things online, that way I know I'm protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sorry to hear about that Steve. That really sucks. I've never had the ballz to order online livestock just because of crap like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks for the warning Steve! There are plenty of legit online sellers as you mentioned, this definitely is not one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombertech Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Lucky for us, we have Golden Basket local pickup! Being in central Oregon with no lfs it kinda sucks. The closest store is TPA in Salem 2-1/2 hours away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's too bad. What did you end up buying? Did anything in the batch make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssappington Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nothing made it... I ordered an elegance, fungia and a favia... the pics were nice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Dang! Elegance corals are hard enough to come by, that's a shame they killed it! Definitely leave bad eBay feedback (after you get your money back of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssappington Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jeff at Cuttlefish has been on the lookout for me and found one for me that I picked up just the other day! Big and beautiful... yet another lesson, support your LFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmylucas Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Sounds like my reef2go.com experience. Horrible customer service. My corals were the wrong corals and more than half of them were dead . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
