Shipping would be done via Air Canada for $80 + $10 box charge. Ivan said he should be able to shoe horn everything into a single box for us. I will go to the airport when the time comes to pick up the order and sort everything out. Also, I will PM my contact info to everyone and they can slowly make their way to my place and pic up the orders when it arrives some time in January.

Re: order.
 

Hi Ed,

Your order has been added to the list.

And the arrive-alive policy? Still in effect?

The list has been updated as of 12/20/04/9:40AM. Please make sure you are viewing the latest version of the list and not some cached version in IE.

The list can be found here:
http://www.members.shaw.ca/harvwong/...up%20order.txt

I belive they do have an arrive alive guarantee, but hopefully Ivan from Aquaria Canada can post something to clarify.

If we were to say order fish or more inverts, if Ivan can't get them in will that a) hold the order up, or b) be shipped at a later date?

Catherine is full of questions today... :mrgreen:

These are all things Ivan will let us know once he starts sourcing the livestock... :cool:

OOh, that's a good question Catherine. I'll have to check with Ivan on that one.

Catherine is also bored out of her mind.....I'm killing time until I feel warm enough or brave enough to go for a drive to AI for the new clams, or to Big Al's for my yellow-headed jawfish that FINALLY came in....

who do i call to pay for the stuff?
or is it cod

Re: order
 

What we will probably do for this order is everyone call and pay Ivan for their portion of the order. Either Harvey or myself will pay for the shipping and collect when you pickup your portion. We won't have a firm price for the shipping until we close this order on Monday, January 5, 2005, NOON as we will then know how many boxes, etc. it will be.

dont meen to sound dumb, i am new so where can i get the numder to call. who do i say the order is for sorry for all the posts :redface:
thanks ed

Wow! Look at the price of those trochus snails :eek: I may have to reconsider ordering them and may have to substitute another species. Any reason they are so much more expensive than the other snails?

Catherine, most of the clams that AI got didn't make it. Their shipper forgot to put heat packs in the boxes and of the 100 or so clams they got only about 15 are left alive (one box had a heat pack in). With all the other clams dieing , I don't think I would be picking up even something looking good, as they must be stressed badly from the nutrient load in that tank.

That said, they have some beautiful corals in right now, so the trip to the store is still worth it.

I was getting a fish from Big Al's and clams from AI....

I was over at AI yesterday and saw the clams in their Q-tank... they didn't look too great. The guy I was talking to also told me they lost a whole bunch of them during shipment.

I ended up not going, saving my money for the group order and cause I wanted to make cookies...

Try the fish from Saltwater Fantasies may not look the prettiest but he has a big selection. http://www.saltwaterfantasies.com/
Last night I bought a firefish for $16.95 where AI and Big Als wants $30 bucks :biggrin:

He had the jawfish for 19$ the week before last, I figure I would wait a day then make my way over...big mistake...no more all gone, Big Al's wants 70$+....

Is there a list of "Do not ship well" fish/inverts/corals somewhere?

I like those snail prices.

Put me down for:
5 - Astrea
5 - Nassarius
5 - Turbo

Thank you for putting this order together.
Just curoius what the rock prices are.

Patrick

He told me he has a shipment coming in on Wed. which he is normally closed but he will be open for the shipment maybe give him a call 1st :cool:

I don't think Aquaria Canada has a list like that anywhere. You will probably have to look at JL's or Live Aquaria and cross reference.

order
 

so should we call on wed. or do i wait.

Do not call just yet. I want to give Ivan the final list beforehand and then he can give you all your individual totals either through PM's or phone calls.

List has been updated as of

12/27/04 6:20PM

Put me down for 20 blue hermits(.99 ea) :biggrin:

Reef stuff

Re: Reef stuff
 

This is what Ivan wrote to me:

Just got a PM from Ivan. You can now start placing your orders via email at ijo@aquaria.ca or by phone at Phone: (613) 862-7258 (though I think it will be a long distance call...I can't find a toll free # listed anywhere on the site). They only accept CC payments through PayPal or email money transfers for now. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can open one for free at http://www.paypal.com/. Email money transfers can only be done if you do online banking. If you don't want to open a Paypal account and don't do online banking, PM me and we can work something out. You will be charged accordingly once everything is finalized. I forgot to mention that if you do change your order to let me know so I keep track of who wants what.

When ordering, make sure you state that it is under the order for Harvey Wong from the Edmonton Reef Club.

I know we don't have a complete price list yet, but muck and Ivan are working on getting us pricing.

Happy Holidays everyone :x-mas:

Sent you a PM Harvey with an order revision.

List updated as of 12/21/04 9:30PM.

Re: order
