michaelm2431 · #52 06/09/2006, 02:17 PM

I think they sell to wholesalers too. So there's another option...

michaelm2431 · #56 06/09/2006, 02:21 PM

I have 2 wholesaler friends in NJ if they ship to US.

michaelm2431 · #57 06/09/2006, 02:24 PM

7 Hours, 43 minutes. Not bad

isseym328 · #58 06/09/2006, 02:24 PM

What would be the difference between wholesalers and hobbyists if we pay the same amount of money for them and purchase bulk? The hard part is to get them to ship to the US correct? I would still rather have them ship directly to Ca since that would reduce stress on the animals. Moving from tank to tank is not a good thing imo.

I don't know their reason, but my friend can buy ORA's and I can't.

But they are busy opening a new store, so they couldn't give me any attention, despite the possible thousands that I would spend with them.

All of their top quality pieces sell literally within an hour of arrival, most within minutes. They are already moving the corals quickly, without having to go through the burden of dealing with Customs, CITES, etc...

Their local buyers arrive early at their door to get in!

That's correct. There's usually a lineup of 15-20+ people before they open after a really anticipated shipment has come in.

Quote:

Because I'm checking their website and they don't have any of the interesting colors in stock.

The website is rarely updated. The nice stuff sells quicker than they can post it.

I would be interested in a big purchase from you'se in Ca, if something gets worked out there. Mike

michaelm2431 · #62 06/09/2006, 02:32 PM

Can a local person from Canada ship here?

isseym328 · #63 06/09/2006, 02:35 PM

If they can get those color morphs and I lived 8 hrs away I would just camp outside their store the night before their big shipment arrives.

michaelm2431 · #64 06/09/2006, 02:35 PM

I was just about to ask when their shipment came in.

isseym328 · #65 06/09/2006, 02:42 PM

There was this guy that bought a ton of sps frags from me before and he lives in Canada. What he did was drive down to WA and picked it up there so the frags dont' have to go through customs. However I had another guy from Canada telling me that he had no problems shipping corals from the US to Canada and that he didn't need any cites or licenses to ship them across the border. Maybe he labeled the corals as something else? I'm not exactly clear.

michaelm2431 · #66 06/09/2006, 02:45 PM

I'm gonna put a call in to my friend tonight and have him sign up there, and get us more info.

michaelm2431 · #67 06/09/2006, 02:47 PM

If I had that kind of money, I'de drive there and ship to you'se.

michaelm2431 · #68 06/09/2006, 02:55 PM

Is that the new address,or old?

Quatro · #69 06/09/2006, 02:56 PM

I think shipping between the US and Canada can be done without CITES and permits, but it's really risky and illegal. You'll get fined for violating CITES, and probably your rics would be sent back to the seller. Sometimes you could get away with it if you label the package as a "gift" (pers exp. (not corals tho)), but with such a big heavy package, like what we're talking about, some people might get nosy.

Also, keep in mind that those photos in their photobucket website are the absolute creme of the crop. When they get in shipments, they get like 2000 polyps! You'd really have to offer $ to get them to cherry pick those rare color out of their huge stock, cause someone local is just as willing as we are to pay $200, $300, $400 for a small colony.

isseym328 · #70 06/09/2006, 02:59 PM

I'm sure we can get them to cherry pick for us since we can just divide up the nice colonies between ourselves but pay a premium for them. I mean if we can get let's say a 10 polyp colony and divide up between 3-4 people how much are you guys willing to pay? Honestly I don't mind just a few polyps of each unusual morph and just let them grow in my tank. Takes forever to get a nice colony out of "one" ricordia but it's getting that morph that's most important.

michaelm2431 · #71 06/09/2006, 03:03 PM

I'de pay whatever it takes.

Quatro · #72 06/09/2006, 03:04 PM

For sure, I'd pay red yuma prices for a polyp of some of those morphs, BUT I was just saying that they have such a strong local market, it might be difficult to get their attention down this way, despite the extra monetary incentives.

Also, I think it might be futile to persue this further until they get their new stock in after the new store's opening... (but never hurts to keep trying........)

isseym328 · #73 06/09/2006, 03:08 PM

I'm still wondering if those colors will keep in our tanks. Some of those colors look insane but does anyone have pics of those rare morphs in their own personal tanks? What kind of lighting are they using? I might have missed the lighting info in this thread but I want to know what kind they using to bring out those amazing colors.

Quatro · #74 06/09/2006, 03:12 PM

20k XM bulbs only.

The colors should stay the same, unless they are bleached, then they will darken, but shouldn't be a color SHIFT.

I'm gonna look for a pic I saw of their rics in a tank with a 250w MH. Gimme a sec...

michaelm2431 · #75 06/09/2006, 03:13 PM

There is NO photoshop or deceptive lighting on these photos. Everything is taken under 20K XM and the photo was taken when we first received the shipment... thus, everything is under stress.
