I am in Denny

kien 10-25-2012 03:49 PM

I still want my Maxis so you guys just tell me when to pull the trigger.

Enigma 10-25-2012 03:52 PM

I've decided how I'm going to approach this if we go ahead with it. So I'm good to go, and the only room for disappointment in my order could be DOAs. I'll be in for $100.

I have sent Burc an email but he hasn't replied yet. He told me yesterday that he will send me a pic today. All he said was he has around 10 eye candy acros that are not listed in the site.

molotov 10-26-2012 03:25 AM

I also sent him an email this afternoon. No reply yet but that's ok. There's a lot of interest so I'm sure he's doing his due diligence to make sure everyone is happy. I'm willing to wait a couple more days for a list.

molotov 10-26-2012 03:28 AM

A lot of people are quick to hang him out to dry. I'm willing to give him a chance as well as benefit of the doubt.

Yah maybe he is busy with other matters.

I am now waiting for Denny to reply to this thread and let us know what we should do now.

9 people in so we should be good to go and set a deadline now.

lockrookie 10-26-2012 03:37 AM

No a lot of ppl have been burnt for a lot of money google Fragalot or search on here. Bit yet we are still drawn to cheap frags.. And pray its not a nightmare lately it's been decent but that can change

Well sometimes, we just have to loose something to gain something. Maybe Burc is not good with shipment and that's why his frags are priced accordingly. I think the main problem is that you have to be real nice to deal with him.

I always set my expectations accordingly. Everyone can't be like Greg (Snappy) after all :)

If your not ordering spa your chances are higher of survival

Yah that's wat Denny said too. Hopefully people won't put a big chuck on SPS in their order. I have just selected one blue acro since blue is missing from my tank :P

dreef 10-26-2012 06:44 PM

Acropora is all i have ever ordered from Burc,usually 1/2 of them make it alive.But my frags are almost always bigger than 1 inch and multiple branches,he's always very generous with me.I talked with Stones briefly this morning,he used a real styro cooler this time,everything was warm and alive :) Just have to wait till the bus comes in at 7pm tonight..can't wait !

lockrookie 10-26-2012 09:38 PM

Great to hear that :)

Could you discover any possible reason for the DOA?

I guess we can proceed with the order without much tension :) Still keeping my fingers crossed.

dreef 10-27-2012 05:14 AM

Yes results may vary :) i've had 2 sps alive out of 5... but he's always made good.

mrhasan 10-28-2012 05:20 AM

Well Burc have sent me pictures of 143 frags (separate pictures) that are available. Since it is not allowed to share over here, I guess you can email me at raiedhasan@gmail.com and I will send the link to you.

Everyone seems a bit off. I was just wondering whether this order is going to get through :)

Seth81 10-28-2012 05:58 PM

When should we say the cut off is for getting orders in ?

The Grizz 10-28-2012 06:31 PM

I really don't know why everytime a fragalot thread gets started it goes page after page after page of complaint and this & that. If people want to do a group order let them do it, there's enough info out there for them to be aware.

But on that note, I will add my 2 cents because it's positive. I sent Burc an email today about an order a bunch of us here placed a few months back, there where a few doas & one missing. Burc replied within mins and going to get replacements out shortly.

I wonder that too. Calgary is getting sunnier so I think we should act quickly.

Leach29 10-28-2012 09:50 PM

I just received email from Burc with my order an he had 7 of 8 things I was looking to get. I am pretty happy with that, so I am good to put I'n the order whenever we decide to do so.

Seth81 10-29-2012 01:34 AM

I just settled my order with Burc he has some really good stuff.Does anyone have a problem with Wed as the cut off date for a Friday delivery ?

+1 for me.

Denny is checking out the pics. He should get back to us shortly.

mrhasan 10-29-2012 06:06 AM

Just wanted to clear up some confusion that I unintentionally created. Some people email me regarding the pictures and I sent them a link (a public album in photobucket). Some people could see the picture while some were not able to see them. Please do let me know and I will send you a link to download the pictures. I have already replied to those whom I sent the semi-active link.

Just wanted to clear up the confusion. :)

Sorry for the inconvenience. I am still wondering why public album was not being accessible for all. :neutral:

Enigma 10-29-2012 12:07 PM

Sorry. I'm confused about who is actually managing this. :lol: I think I missed something. Who will be holding the orders and floating the bags? Who is managing the order?

molotov 10-29-2012 01:19 PM

Order Placed
 
So yesterday morning I went through all the pictures and placed my portion of the order with Burc. He replied to all my email within about five minutes. It was really very easy. I just looked at the pictures, told him what I would like and paid for it. BAM....done.

He made it so simple, I couldn't imagine it going any easier.

reefwars 10-29-2012 03:15 PM

hey guys , sorry ive been away all weekend with other matters, i had a look at the list this morning and honestly theres nothing there that i really need.

if you guys want to have it delivered to my house thats fine as im here in the daytimes anyways and everyone knows where i live.

to be honest i dont think ill be ordering anything , i had a look at the pics and ........am i the only one who notices thst these pics are from someone else?? better yet a sponsor here and just got posted this week??


weird......

molotov 10-29-2012 04:27 PM

OK, here's the deal. I spoke with Denny and Burc. I will be the new (and improved, sorry Denny) resource for this order. I've already placed my order with Burc. I'm also going to hold off on shipping now to accomodate those who are still interested

If you still want in please pm me. The cut off for orders will be FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2ND.

I just took the liberty of collecting the infos on current stock :)

Molotov will be the host. I guess all the orders can be placed individually by contacting with Burc and afterwards, me or Molotov can contact Burc and let him know we are ready to receive the order :)

strauss 10-29-2012 04:57 PM

Molotov, where are you located in Calgary? Just curious so I know what I'm getting into. If its a Friday cutoff is this a Saturday delivery? Thanks

Brandon

I'm located just west of downtown, right by the Shaganappi golf course so pretty much central for everyone.

The reason why a Friday cutoff is because I don't want this thread to go on forever with no difinative schedule.

We have not yet scheduled a date for delivery. It will most likely NOT be a weekend delivery. If there is a problem with shipping such as a lost package, the shipping company can be resolve it much quicker if there is a full compliment of shipping staff available. It will most likely be a during business hours shipment.
