Feedback for PLAYFAIR

I bought a single ricordea mushroom from David PLAYFAIR. The entire deal went smoothly. Fast shipment. The ricordea mushroom was healthy and beautiful, well-packaged. I would order from him again.

Would echo the above comments on 6 SPS frags I purchased from David earlier this month. All arrived healthy and well packaged; they appear to be taking hold quite nicely in their new home.

Will third the previous two statements. I bought a SEN 900 from him a couple months ago. Great deal great transaction. The shipping was a little more than the quote and he ate the cost. Definitely a good guy to buy from.

I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 4 frags from Playfair and missed the first delivery date and had to get them the next day.....total of 2 days in transit and all of them made it and are doing great.Frags were huge too.

Thanks again David.

David sold me two MH ballasts. The transaction was perfect. I got exactly what was advertised. They arrived rapidly and in perfect condition. Highly recommended seller.

My Sarcophyton elegans {Fiji yellow leather}and Plerogyra {bubble coral}are frags from Playfair.They are doing great and they are VERY colorful.How many reefers can frag bubble corals? Top-notch rating for Dave,and the rest of his colorful corals, as well.I've seen them in person!

Well, I now have my own piece of the "Mistress", and what a nice piece it is. Received several SPS frags and some zoo's from David recently. Everything was smooth and the corals are excellent! To top that off, David Playfair seems like a great guy. This was definately an interactive deal.

Thanks David

I've got to post my Kudos for David. I just recieved 6 frags from him and they arrived as scheduled, packed better than any on-line order I've ever placed and to boot they were good sized frags!!

I am definately planning on doing some business with him in the futured. Wonderful communication between buyer and seller.

It's great that the hobby has people like David willing to spend his time, frag some corals, box them up and ship them, and then spend his time responding to all our PITA questions...

Thanks again David!

Coral

David,
I want to thankyou for taking care of my request.I got the most beautiful and healthy pieces i have ever received from any other wholesale place or even a LFS.
I am so glad i saw you on RC.Not only are your prices the lowest on the net but also the best quality.
I would love to do business with you in the near future and your service is *****(5 Star).
At these prices i am sure you are doing it just to help other reefers get what they want and not to make money.

Thankyou you are the best.

Harjit

I bought 7 frags from Dave and I have great compliments.... The frags arrived, packaging was perfect, frags were huge, and they0 were extended even in the bag.

Dave is a great guy, very friendly, and easy to deal with....you'll have a good experience when you deal with him.

Dave is a great asset to our hobby!

Just recieved my second order from David.
Too bad this guy isn't a coral dealer. Dealing with him is so smooth there would be no need to deal elsewhere!

Great job David
