Black Friday
 

Hello gang,

We are fielding lots of questions about our Black Friday sale, but all we are willing to say at this time is:

http://jlaquatics.com/newsletter/soc...ack_friday.jpg

- Limited Items for a Limited Time
- Savings of up to 25% and more off of the regular retail price
- Items you won't see on sale on Boxing Day


Sale begins 11am PST, Friday November 28th.

Hope you get involved!

Is this in-store only or will it also be online?

Online and in-store!

Jeff

When will details be posted on the website?

11AM.

Time to check the clocks fellas, it's past 11

Yup, been refreshing the J&L website page but no updates.:wink:

Any long lineups outside the door?

Don't know, I'm home with the kids. Gotta finish feeding them and dressing them before we can head out. Tried calling but no answer either.

[edit: Talked to Jeff and this is a dry goods only sale & the prices have been changed in their original sections (although I couldn't find any difference compared to the prices of stuff I've bought recently) but they're not marked in red or anything to differentiate them from regular prices]

So from the looks of it it's on, but you have to go looking for the products. Not like click on the black friday button will show all items on sale. That's what I was hoping for, as even stuff I don't need might get ordered just cuz it's on sale. Looks like I get to keep my money, lol

deos not really seem to be much for sale ?

no rodi filters , salt , heaters frozen food ?

strange , maybe the sale is up yet

Nope, I was going to go check them out today, too. But after seeing what is on sale, and not, will stay home. Better deals online elsewhere...

Bit of a bust, hard to figure out whats on special.
Jeff why don't you post out a quick summary of whats on sale.
Might prompt people to check out something they hadn't thought of, or didn't KNOW they needed.
Don't have time to manually check every single page on the website trying to figure whats on sale.
Just a thought

Kessils (except pre-orders) are 15% off so that's pretty good. They probably won't go on sale on Boxing Day since these are manufacturer approved discounts and USA manufacturers probably won't approve sales just for Canadian retailers on Boxing Day. Just a guess. :)

My thought exactly. I don't specifically need anything, but if something good for sale jumped out at me, then I would get it. I guess that's the downfall of shopping online. In store the stuff is in your face so it pops out at you, online if you are not pointed to a list, then meh.

I think Canada should stick to Boxing Day sales... although looking around this year that seems to have gone out the door!

I called them and they confirmed that there are no livestock sales.

get your deals today on the equipment that the manufacturers normally do not discount and hold out for the big boxing day sale.

Win win

Agreed, c'mon Jeff, please summarize it all, if its not too late.
On that note, if anyone is going that way, please text/call me; I need a Neptune Lab Grade PH Probe, if someone can pick it up, I'll order it pleeeeease :).

Even harder to figure out what's onsale on a mobile device. Still I may pick up another kessil if they are still available later tonight.

I see these folks have live stock on sale http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...hreadid=110562

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the feedback in this thread - lots of food for thought for next year. Normally we don't have a Black Friday sale but we thought we would try something new this year. Thanks to all that have taken part; we hope you managed to find a deal for yourself!

The sale will continue until Dec 1, let us know what questions you have and we'll be happy to help,

Jeff

P.S. The brands that are offered on sale are posted with the sale notification on our front page. If you use our search engine to find a product the price will list without showing a line through the original price - it simply lists the sale price. If you use our menu to navigate to a product, the discount will be shown. I hope that clears things up a bit for some people.

+1. Based on the info found on the site it's not worth the drive to the store. I guess they are not into this whole Black Friday thing. Then why pretend?

Hi Jeff

It was certainly nice to see the array of items on sale as many of them are seldom on sale.

Black Friday is more of a Big Ticket Sale and by staying with Big Ticket Items it preserves the integrity of your Boxing Day Sale.

See you on Boxing Day

Seems like a pretty good sale to me!!

Yeah given that Black Friday is an American shopping tradition following the American Thanksgiving. Nice to get these discounts at this time of the year up here.

That is the Call to Duty Jeff . Is that not service

Thanks guys.

The sale is on all weekend! Buy yourself something nice - it won't be long now until you will be spending all your money on other people! (Christmas).

Trying to make an order now to get free shipping.
