Between Myself, Hummer and Freezestyle we have $170 worth of frags paid for. Soap said he had another $140 waiting to pay Burc but has not gotten back to me on whether or not he went through with the order. Argentiner had a couple that he was interested in but has probably bailed on the group order.

So if Soap goes through with the order we'll have enough for free shipping.

Ya, sorry. He has never gotten back to me so I'm going to skip out on this one. I don't know if he even has the frags I want.

hummer 07-21-2009 06:46 PM

OK sounds good. Any idea how we pay the shipping? Do we pay you or paypal Burc?

I guess we could do it either way. Either I can pay for the shipment, and then collect from everyone when they pick up their orders, or if Burc tells us how much shipping is, we can all pay Burc for shipping individually. I'll ask Burc if he prefers one way or the other.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I ended up ordering 250$ to my self, and will no longer need the group buy.

I did this to get some of the limited frags and not have to compete with others on the order.

I managed to get a hold of Burc, and my order was shipped this morning... he said he was VERY busy with his $10 frag sale.

Good luck guys! Hope to meet some of you at the BBQ.

Just heard from Bruc. My stuff should all be there!

kien 07-23-2009 09:11 AM

No word yet on tracking number.. or even if the package shipped or not.

hummer 07-23-2009 01:53 PM

Darn. I'm guessing no word from him about shipping cost? Maybe he didn't send it out because we haven't paid for that yet. I'm sure if he'd let us know we could have fired that money off pretty quick.

I believe it was either Monday or Tuesday of this week, I emailed and PM'ed him to let him know that we didn't hit $250 and I asked him how he wanted us to handle shipping cost. Do we each send him money or should I pay? I never got a response from him. I know, you are shocked :wink: I'm perfectly fine with covering the shipping cost and then getting everyone to pay me when they pick up but I haven't even been told what the shipping cost is.

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear from him..

hummer 07-23-2009 02:30 PM

LOL.
Ya it would probably be easier if we just paid you back. I'm good for it :biggrin:
I just checked on his website and it says shipping is $45 to anywhere in Canada.

kien 07-23-2009 03:27 PM

I'm kind of holding onto hope that maybe he won't charge us for shipping because my last two orders I had lots of missing frags and most of my SPS' RTN'ed on me and I did not bother to ask for replacements on those.. just the frags that were missing.

soaptray 07-23-2009 08:24 PM

The order I just got is missing at least 3 frags... there were 3 bags that were completely emptied of water and the shipping box was soggy.

Some frags had nasty algae and all frags were on weird shaped rubble, shells that floated.... no discs or plugs.

I am not very satisfied - especially not with the communication skills.

He did send a few extra, but they are nothing like what I ordered - basic green and brown ones, and an extra pinky one.

Shop with caution.

hummer 07-23-2009 08:57 PM

My order was completely missed and didn't get delivered with the group order. I'm waiting for a response from him on how we are going to fix this issue. If he is going to be shipping me my frags then you are more then welcome to add your missing orders to it. But let him know. So far from what I've seen he's pretty good at fixing errors.

i think i only got one or two frags that i actually ordered. probably just stick with the local people and businesses from now on.

Well, I ordered 10 frags from him this go round. Only half of them resemble what I asked for. 4 of them arrived dead, two of them half dead and now two more are starting to go. That's like $80 worth of frags down the drain :( Ya, I don't care how cheap they are, the success rate with his frags seem to be very low.

soaptray 07-31-2009 03:51 AM

As stated above... I did a $250 order from him - 3 bags arrived with no water in them, I have a bleached chalice, and he didn't send at least 5 or 10 frags of what I ordered... he included a bunch of others that I didn't order.

I even ordered some full priced frags - not the $10 ones and didnt get either of them.

Luckily I have met a few nice locals that I am trading with from now on... no more of this crap.
