Yes, which as the other member has mentioned, they have addressed it. I do not work for BRS or have any affiliation to them other then putting together this list, so I do not have any more information then what is posted on forums. I was not one affected by it, but I have recently read some people who have received letters. I personally use PayPal for all purchases online where available for just that reason. When purchasing things online, it is a risk that we all take. All stores can be affected and several large big name stores have had their sites hacked as well.

Up to 8 on the list, 2 to go to make this a go.

With the Canadian dollar low, isn't reefsupplies.ca and J&L Aquatics cheaper? PayPal's exchange rate is 28.6% right now.

Take for example, Hanna calcium regents, which are $18.29 US on BRS, or $23.52 CDN.

But it's only $19.99 CDN on reefsupplies.ca.

Or a salinity monitor on BRS is $117.99 US, or $151.74 CDN.

But it's only $146.60 at J&L Aquatics.

Shipping is also cheaper.

It all depends on what you are looking for, particular brands, and personal preference on where you prefer to shop. But this group buy helps save people money who want to shop at BRS. I also know some use a US Po Box, so shipping is cheaper.
