It was mostly zoanthids, yes. And thanks for your comments on the pipe organ that gives me some hope, though I must say that hasn't been my experience.

Sounds like you guys made out quite well on your order. I won't get into my experience with him again, but after 2 attempts...sounds like you ahead of the game.

Hi I rescued a small piece of pipe organ off a zoe rock the zoe's all but the three polyps I reused. they are now a thriving colony with about 40 - 50 heads on it and growing nicely. I also have a rock of organ coral they seem to be popping out of the rock after they were in my tank for 5 then about 2 months ago they started popping up that rock is in my kids tank. The heads on this colony are smaller.

I would say they should be Ok depending on how well they shipped.

Thanks. wow, that hasn't been my experience with pipe organs at all but I'm really encouraged by what you guys are saying. May not be a dead loss after all.

On another note, Burc got back to me after and stated that he will send me another package with the missing frags, no questions asked. So that's very good and, yes, I know we are ahead of the game compared to the usual experience - maybe an indication of some change???

Or an indication he's aware of the publicity he's receiving and trying extra hard because of it?

That is called hitting the nail on the head.....

I ran down that road as well. A year later I recieved $50 worth of zoas to replace $300 of dead frags and was asked to pay the shipping for them!

sarcasm?

No, not at all. I surmise that he may be aware of this thread and trying harder than his typical effort.

+1 guarantee it, we all know he watches these threads to see what people here are still sayng...:)


glad you guys got your order but in my mind sending more frags later isnt good business when he simply could have sent them the first time??

Well our order is now delayed till next wednesday which is not to bad I guess. He said he will include extra frags for the inconvenience caused so we will see. On a good note at least he emailed to say he wasn't shipping etc.

this guy gets rid of more "extra" frags then ones he actually sells lol hilarious:):)

Well if anything I can say this thread is useful for the simple fact that it has taught me a valuable lesson, that being NOT to purchase from fragalot. I'll keep my business with LFS and canreef sponsors. thanks ALOT guys with out your waste of money I may have wasted mine cheers!! And I wish u the best of luck sorting out your orders I'll stick around to see how daves order goes but honestly I'm not expecting anything diff from what u got

A.... Fragalot is a sponsor

B.... Fragalot is not a wywiswyg company it is a lottery frag company out money in see what ya get lol..

C.... Like any company you have good days and bad... I tried it and my orders where ok as long as it wasn't sps

Ya but you almost lost your sanity trying to get him to straighten out the last order...lol

Fragalot is no longer a sponsor.

I just don't get it. Fragalot is bad news but people continue ordering from him. I get that he has some great looking zoas but more often than not you don't get what you order and even if you do, the actual piece that you get does not look like the one posted on his website. The bad reviews are out there and it is not just one. There are things that I'll never understand and this is one of them.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I placed an order from him a while ago (bad reviews were not out there yet) and got half of what I actually ordered and the other half died. The frags I received were very small and many of them came off the plug.

Doesn't anybody read latin.. Caveat Emptor :biggrin:
This thread is going on way too long..imo

What is wrong with a discussion? Especially when the story is still only half over. At least it will give new members some info about how to approach the vendor and the possible problems encountered. I don't think that people being tired of discussing the topic is a good reason to close the thread - it's not like it's out of control or anything - if you don't like the topic, just don't read the thread! :neutral:

A he's no longer a sponser and hasn't been in almost a year I think
B if I wanted to play the lotto with my money, I would. Prob a better chance at getting something good
C lol I'm sry but a company should not be spending its good days fixing there bad one

Has anyone filed a complaint with the BBB? Does he charge you GST/HST?

This is a slippery slope to closer of the thread.

yup

Yup. BBB has very little if any power at all.

the Fragalot issue has been an issue ever since Ive been a member here....I still dont get why, when the overwhelming majority of reviews have been negative, people still order with this guy:noidea:

Guys, seriously, if you don't like the subject, don't read the thread. Some of us want to follow the thread through and see how things end up (even if I lose my money!). If this thread gets closed, it's like a group of people telling another group of totally equal and free individuals what they can and cannot talk about.

How long do you want to beat this dead horse?:neutral:

+1

HEHE... Just following along, reading the soap opera.

Why is discussion of a competing non-vendor even permitted? Bad reviews or not? Just curious...

Well, I guess my point is that interested readers should have the right to beat the dead horse as long as they like without being shut down by readers who have no interest in the subject to begin with. I'm not trying to be offensive, man, I'm just trying to have an uninterrupted conversation.

I guess because people have the right to talk about whatever they like? :noidea:

Who knows, staff are getting lazy I guess :)

No, they don't. All topics are at the staff's descretion. House rules, sorry.

Yes, I know that, I meant within reason. Thanks.

You've been hanging around Doug and Laurie too much. It does *seem* that way haha =)

Who are Doug and Laurie??? :question:

.. and more appropriately, how offended should they be at the thought of being associated with me?? :biggrin:

Interruptions are par for the course in a public forum, no offence taken.:biggrin:

In case anyone wishes to view fragalot's offerings I've made this handy link:
