online ordering

[michika]

I need some more suggestions on where online I can place orders for both drygoods and livestock. I'm no longer shopping locally anymore, unless its through members of the board.

Suggestions please? Include any experiences you've had good and bad.

Canada
Ocean Aquatics
JL's

US
Marine Depot
Premium Aquatics
Custom Aquatics

I have dealt with the US companys with no problems. The canadian ones, I just walk in

Of course, with US companies you will most likely have to pay customs charges to get the drygoods across the border. Plus with livegoods you would need to have a customs license or appropriate forms filled out as well.

J&L and OceanAquatics are quite good! There's also Aquaria.ca in Ontario, and Saltwater Connection in Winnipeg.

Any experience ordering from any of them?

I have ordered from Aquaria Canada with very disapointing results; the guy ripped me off and to this date has STILL refused to refund my money.

Ive had great results from James at OA for livegoods.
Very happy with the service. (and the extra freebies.. )

I have also had great service from JLs for Drygoods.
Very quick shipping.

thanks guys!

I think I'm going to try and place a "test order" with J&L or OA in the next couple of weeks. I'm trying to find a regular supplier for alot of my basics.
