do I send him pics of the empty base piece?? lol cuz I was just about to throw that out....

and I do somewhat agree.. there are other frags that I would order as replacements.. but then I'd have to pay shipping...

I did however pm him on the two that are dead....just waiting for a reply back

s&h
 

wrong post, cant delete it :)

Well both millis are gone and one of the zoo frags been closed tight for days but at least the acan is looking great. When first opening the bag and with that smell of death having 2 (maybe 3) out of 5 survive is more than I thought I would end up getting.

Wife is more upset considering the massive frags we got from Rusty a couple of days before from just trading.

Guess I'll be shopping closer the home, at least during the winter for sure.

final tally... 3 dead 2 alive... and I still have not heard back from burc

frags
 

3dead 3 alive.
not a good turn out!

I am curious as to what the average survival rate is with shipping?

How do we create a forum wide pole? or has one been done?

I am not talking about any specific vendors - I would like to know what I should expect as a survival rate in general...


any ideas???

frags
 

lost 2 sets of zoas closed up and havent reopened went from 15 or so to2 polyps that can be made out and one set of 5 are doing great

just create a general poll for people who ordered this past year

Then as what % of frags survived

so I had 2 out of 5 that would be 40%

Ive placed 3 or 4 frag orders from Snappy in the last few months and had 100% survival.. and these were all SPS frags. IMO it all hinges on the packaging. Anything less than 100% survival isnt acceptable to me.

rough survival poll here

I participated on this order too and the last with burc. In total I am finding a 50% survival rate for SPS frags. I find with SPS time it takes to ship is critical and temp. 24hrs even from Calgary is dicey. Packing the bags with pure oxygen works, I used to recieve shipments form Germany in this way.

It really help also,if the frags aren't fresh cut,like shelley pointed out about gregs 100% survival rate.He frags and they sit for weeks,or a month before they get shipped.his packing is amazing.Burc has a good product,and sure has a wide nice selection.

Hello

Sorry for late reply. Please PM me your DOAs I will get another shipment out on wednesday for replacements.

Thanks
Burc

Hi guys, someone else will have to recieve this shippment as I will not be around :(

Sorry

Doo

So the shipping is free for the replacements?

I'm also going to be away, if this goes through could somebody hold mine (#1,22 millis) till Friday?

I don't think it is(shipping)

i am not paying for shipping. I would like my $30.00 back

Likewise, I won't pay for shipping, but if this goes ahead, I can likely receive the order. I can hold your frags, Mark.

Matt

I am not sure if shipping is covered, but I am thinking it might cost each person around $5 (possibly under) - I am just gessing, but Burc will have to communicate that...

i am not around this week. maybe rigger will be around.

depends on when, I might be around

Hi All

Let's get this going again!

If any of you have DOAs, please PM me the numbers of the ones you lost. I will send them to Burc and from there we will identify what our options are...

Thanks

lol I already sent mine to him... but they are :

#62
#70
#83


I would also like to get some more info.. such as what will happen if these come dead?

I won't pay for shipping. if that's what he wants I will take a refund please!

(not trying to sound rude...just being honest)

I am not part of this group buy but I have some dead frags as well.

I PM fragalot but got no reply at all and I am becoming an unhappy customer.

If he offer replacement and/or refund to this group buy, he should honor his sell to all other customers.

if you have a complaint with fragalot, contact fragalot at fragalot (sales@fragalot.ca), don't expect him to be checking canreef as much as say I do...:lol:

I have had the following people respond:


Mark
Jeff
Scorpio
Oilfieldsafety
Bean


I would like to setup a deadline for this, how about Sunday night?

Thanks

All mine(except the freebie) survived. Some of the zoo's don't want to fully open but they're trying so I'll think mine will be alright.

PS-Burc, I'm loving the Bumble Bee's, thanks.

frags
 

sent ya a pm and one to burc

12 of us ordered and 9 have responded

I am guessing the rest are fine?

Sunday night will be the deadline :)

Hello

I apologize for late reply. I had couple dental surgeries thats why i wasnt able to reply my emails and PMs.

I replied all PMs. Replacement orders will go out on next week. But i need to talk with receivers which day is okay to receive the packages.

Thanks
Burc

Hi Burc

I am putting the information together in one PM for you and we will find a person to recieve the order and communicate with you...

Hi guys,

I have not heard from Burc yet, maybe he is busy...

i got a pm saying replacements will go out feb 17th.... but who are they going to?

I can likely receive them if Doo isn't on the job (depending on when they're coming, and to where).
