I had one customer of mine warn me against them when we were talking about vendors. I have had >no< personal experience with them but I trusted the person. She said that her livestock was very substandard and the Customer experience was wishy washy. I personal have had decent to great success to LiveAquaria so I have stuck with them. If something goes wrong they take my word for it and happily replace or credit it for me which has happened.

Check out the vendor feedback forum, that will help you make an informed decision.

Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

conefree, thanks for that.
I did it before, but went back.
Then i noticed that the site was only pulling up 1 days worth of posts. Upped it to 45days and found some feed back.

I have not dealt with them personally, but it seems there are more negative posts than positive.

But that is pretty much the case with any kind of review system. The people that are annoyed are much more likely to post than those who praise. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Funny, my local LI forum seems to have had more positive responses. The min for free freight is $79, which is pretty low, and some fish have free freight. May be a good idea to buy 1 or 2 of those to get an idea, without too much of an investment.
