Derry Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hey, there! I want to buy some anthias from LiveAquaria, but I really don't want to pay the $35 in shipping all by my lonesome. Here's my proposal: Post what you want in this thread, including the total cost of your order Ordering closes Sunday night, and I reserve the right to close ordering early if the order starts getting too big I'll PM everyone Monday morning with their individual order totals, including their split of the shipping costs PayPal your share to me (plus 3% plz!) by Monday at midnight (no pymt = no order) I'll place the order first thing Tuesday morning The order will arrive at my place on Wednesday, Nov 4 I'll PM everyone when the box gets here to arrange order pickups Anything still at my house on Thursday becomes mine! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, Derry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm ordering three Carberryi Anthias @ $16.99 Total: $50.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If Vivid Aquariums can get them, would you open to getting them from them? We get free shipping @ $225 so between your $50, I can spend another $50 and I bet we can find a couple of people to throw in some items to get us to $225.

Derry Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 My only concern is that anything Vivid could get between now and Tuesday wouldn't have any acclimation/quarantine time at their holding facility. That's why I'm opting not to buy these locally. I think I'm gonna stick to LiveAquaria this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also get their fish in on Monday so they would have plenty time to quarantine them. I'll check with them and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyLee Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 LiveAquaria weekly sale normally ends on Friday. It will be too late if you order on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 is that a flat shipping cost??? or does it change depending on order amount? does that price include frozen food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 The price actually goes UP by $5 if the total order cost goes over $225. The LiveAquaria site doesn't sell food, only livestock. All dry goods are done through the Foster & Smith site, with their own shipping prices and policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, Derry 3% Paypal premium doesn't need to be added if it's done as a "personal gift". Check PayPals rules to make sure you do it right.

Derry Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm shutting this down and piggy-backing off of the Vivid order instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
