Fair? It's a store. They own it, they can do whatever they want. It's unfortunate there aren't such dandy LFSs in other parts of the country, but that's life.
 There are no rules for holding boxing day sales.

hey Golden
I don't think your getting the point i have bought a few pieces from them when i've had the chance.I've never gotten rotten livestock but have seen some nice pieces so i'm not sure what you saying.I was hoping to pic up a few good deals with the drystock i was hoping to get.So if your unhappy with them then why do you shop there if you think you getting second rate stock i've been happy with any in store purchases i've made in the past and could never complain about the quality. The winner

I agree with pinner.I've spent thousands of dollars with them over a couple years.They should have ONLINE SPECIALS for us out of town people (out of Province)I had a order all ready to put in with them about a week before christmas worth easy 500 (LIVESTOCK).I called them today,to see about us out of province people,even about the free shipping over 300,but that only worked for DRYGOODS.So i asked them about putting my order in anyways they said you would be best to put it in for the 2nd week of January
 I said well i guess us people from the other parts of CANADA mean nothing to your business then eh? He said were busy enough here that MO is just a bonus.......I said fine F#$%^ Y#$,and i will buy my livestock and drygood elsewheres.Also i said if thats how you feel i'm sure the rest of us people from Eastern Canada that shop there WILL KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU TOLD ME.Pluff

So why not take them at their word.? I am sure it would be a large bother to ship livestock 5000 miles. Rather than bashing them online, I am sure you could find a supplier down there to take care of your needs.

So why the swearing? It sounds like they are only confirming that phone orders are not accepted during Boxing Day. They've clearly advertised this. If you want Boxing Day prices for your drygoods, you can order them online. This has nothing to do with not servicing other parts of Canada. I'm sure anyone from any other province can order online without a problem.
Golden, I agree. There are many times, I go there and there are corals or clams in their tanks that I want to buy but turns out that they've all been sold to the East. Its disappointing because its like the best pieces are sold before I even get a chance. But I don't go around swearing. Its just a tough break. Bad luck. Wait for the next one.

Also......... maybe all you out of towner's can drop an e-mail off to J&L and suggest that they have a special internet sale on live stock for the out of town people who could not take advantage of the boxing day sale. It would give J&L some time to replenish the live stock (they are quite low now) and give you a chance to get a deal.
Just a thought. Cheers, Vic
