I'm not quite as rural only an hour to the city, but I have the added problem of working in the oil patch up north, so usually by the time I finally get into town amy new shipments are already picked over.
I tend to place a few coral orders a year thru various online venders and have only had good experiences. In fact I have a Canada Corals order arriving tomorrow. As for fish I haven't had them flown in, I have a relationship with a store in Edmonton where they order in what I want and then calle when it arrives, I pay over the phone and theny spouse picks it up. Saves me the headache of having to explain to my spouse how much the fish costs, as well as being the day of the shipments arrival the fish are usually still in the shipping bag, so no double acclimation
If you have specific vendor questions PM as I'm still working on writing up reviews on my last 4 orders from the previous month
