USA - Mail order Flourite?
http://www.bigalsonline.com has flourite 15.4 lb (7 kg) bags for $11.99
Shipping is $5.95 for up to $35.00, $6.95 for up to $50.00, $7.95 for up to $75.00 I've purchased a filter and powerhead from them before. I was happy with the service. They ship out of Niagara Falls, NY for U.S. based orders. I live in NY, and surprisingly, wasn't charged tax. I assume that all orders from the US are not taxed, because they are a chain store out of Canada. Hope this helps. Daniel "Aqua" wrote in message ... Which is best place to mail order Flourite?

The standard shipping rate may not apply for Flourite. They add extra at the end. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Anyway I sent mail to customer support. Dominic |

Try www.bigalsonline.com,
http://www.thatpetplace.com/ http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...=6&pCatId=4870 http://www.azgardens.com/newsubst.htm http://www.aquaticwarehouse.com/site...8-4CB9-92E9B43 CE9E668CE http://www.thehiddenreef.com/webpage...m_flourite.htm Any advice on getting some in Australia at a reasonable price? ie less than AU$80 a bag. Do any Aussies out there know if importing it has any customs/quarantine issues as its cheaper to surface ship a few bags here otherwise. "Aqua" wrote in message ...

I stand corrected. I looked on their description page, and nothing was
written about extra shipping costs. This is not consistient with their site, as I've seen notes about extra shipping costs on wooden stands right on the description page. The information about shipping costs is noted when you add some flourite to your shopping cart. On the checkout page, it says, actual shipping costs based on weight. As this is the case, you probably will not save much by ordering online or mail order vs. at your LFS. Depending on how much you buy, your LFS may cut you a deal. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I bought a 15 pound bag from ThatPetPlace.com for $13.59, along with about $48 of other miscellaneous (light) stuff. The total shipping cost for the order, via FedEx Ground, was $8.90. And, FWIW, I've been *very* pleased with ThatPetPlace. I've placed a lot of orders there over the past several months, and not once have I had a problem of any kind. -- www.ericschreiber.com |

I was looking for some and called up Big Al's.. Since I'm on the west
coast, it'd cost $14 extra in shipping for them to send it to me. I luckily just found some at a LFS for $20. daniel godwin wrote: I stand corrected.

Since I'm on the west coast, it'd cost $14 extra in shipping for them to send it to me. I luckily just found some at a LFS for $20. I bought a couple of bags of Fluorite from Big Al's and wasn't pleased at all. I, too, am on the west coast and not so lucky to find any at my LFS, so decided to pay for the shipping which was very expensive (don't remember the exact cost, but I think $14 sounds about right). The boxes I received were recycled (one of them was a box once used for liquor) and both were nearly in tatters when I received them. One box had broken open; luckily the Fluorite was still in it and the plastic bag was intact. I emailed them to let them know of my dissatisfaction and they did not even bother to reply. Drs. Foster & Smith, on the other hand, has never failed to satisfy me. The one problem I had with them was with a bottle of Flourish that had opened and leaked. However, they packaged it very nicely, bagging each bottle (I bought two) with a ziploc to prevent any leakage through the box. When I wrote to them about this, they were very gracious and apologetic, and immediately shipped another bottle out to me free of charge. Erica http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/mitoem/mitoem/index.htm |
