+mcallahan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Our August order was a great success and following the requests of several members, I'm putting together another Vivid Aquariums order - WITH A CATCH... What's the catch? There is a VERY good chance I'll be in Los Angeles in Early/Mid October so if I make my trip work out, I'll be hand picking our order. Yep, I'll get to see what you ordered, then chose the coral/fish that I think is best! The details are below and I'm excited for this opportunity to go shopping for everyone! Vivid Aquariums has a great selection of just about everything, including FISH so peruse their website, then place your order keeping in mind the following: - Order closes, Wednesday, Oct 7th, @12p - Pickup will be @ my house, 8422 Jamestown Dr, 78758 or if we have enough people, I can coordinate a central pickup. - if we have enough "southies", I'll coordinate a southern pickup. - The shipment usually arrives @ 10:30a so if you can schedule breaking away from lunch or working from home, its a great way to get your goods early! - minimum GROUP total order is $150. So if we don't get enough interest to have a total order value of $150, it won't go - $225+ qualifies for free shipping, otherwise shipping is a flat $30. After the free shipping discount, they will just charge us $10 for the box. We'll split this charge among everyone involved. - $500+ gets us a 10% discount (MIGHT get that lowered, have to 2x check). - Dry goods DO NOT count towards our order total, DO NOT get the 10% off and DO NOT get free shipping. Payment works as such: I have to order and pay for everything myself. They won't let everyone pay individually then group our orders together (like @ reefcleaners.org). So I'm requesting that everyone either pay cash or paypal directly to me before 12p on Tuesday, Oct 6th. Once I get everyone's order, I'll confirm it with them, then send the order off. PLEASE NOTE: If you are paying via paypal, be sure to add 3% for paypal fees. I'll let people chime in with pictures of what they got from vivid in the past. I've had GREAT customer service from them and MORE than generous frags so you won't be disappointed. MAKE SURE you check out their WYSIWYG picks. They are adding new inventory all the time and their stuff looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I checked with Southwest and I cannot check live fish. So Vivid will have to FedEX it overnight as usual. That being said, I can pick the one that is the healthiest and looks to best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
