Ordered some new T5 bulbs from reefgeek Tues evening and they showed up at my door today. In fact they shipped same day as ordered.
The box was huge for 2-36" bulbs and it was all due to the careful packing. Bulbs were wrapped inside bubble wrap, put inside a shipping tube and then suspended via styrofoam blocks inside another box. I think you could have run over this with a car and the bulbs wouldnt have broke.

Just wanted to say they have great customer service and fast shipping. Greg is a great person to buy from and will get my business in the future...

They are definately a great place to deal with. And it always cracks me up that they include candy with the order.

Yeah I heard they included candy sometimes. Laid the little bag on the table and the kids had it gone in a flash.

Thought I give them another bump with shots of their packing. 8 Bulbs were tightly packed inside this tube with "peanuts" on either end. The ends were capped and then taped shut.
