Yup. I found it extremely refreshing to see how upfront & honest you were about letting us know what happened and why there was going to be a temporary increase. If your price is still way cheaper than other sources, then let those who disagree with your honest approach go buy from them & pay those higher prices. That is their decision. I think the vast majority of your loyal customers here will not mind helping you out by paying a little more, but still way less than they would otherwise.

You're right, Anthony. The thing I found amusing was the 2 people who most spoke out against the surcharge idea were people from other provinces who would probably never have bought from Neal in the first place.

Thats not true actually one of them was gonna place an order with me...From out of province..............

Alot of people say that you shouldn't force 10% on anyone but hey that extra 10% is still cheaper then any other store really..

I think neal is a great guy and am glad to have more local vendors with cheap prices...

I guess next time i will just give him a 10% tip, because i believe I spend a bit more to keep him in buisness....cause if he stops selling then we will all have to pay big bucks for corals again!!

And sorry to hear about the loss neal that totaly sucks....I will probably be in around the end of the month to buy some corals!!

Neal, thanks for your involvement in this hobby. I've purchased coral from you in the past and I will continue buying stuff from ya! With or without an additional upcharge.

I just read the whole thread,wow,thats awfull.I've bought alot of stuff from Neil while in Edmonton,and he always welcomed me into his house.
Neil,dont let this bother you too much,just chalk it up as a learning exsperience.You know they'll get theirs in the end.
