I'm not all that impressed they are including all the discounts to everyone just bescause we don't live in the lower mainland.I was hoping to pick up a few new additions for the tank but they seem to have excluded us out of towners for any specials on the livestock.

They had some good prices on livestock.. I thought everything on sale at the store was on sale at the website as well?

No they excluded us out of towners from any deals on livestock.You can't bitch about there pricing but it would have been nice to have been included in the whole sale and not part.I try to come in whenever i'm in town to pic up a few things.we haven't got a lot of choice here in the okanagan for stores and there prices beat most everthing so i have bought most of my needs from them in one way or another from the store in person or small orders for additives and misc on line.There service is a little bit much at times but have been treated worse at other stores.Just don't feel it's fair to exclude a portion of you buissnes from saving at you store doesn't sound fair to me.Just my ****ed off two cents.

Well I am thinking that it will be hard enough today to deal with all the customers in store buying stuff, let alone trying to keep up with the massive influx of online orders for livestock. There are only like 4 people working there and they're probably ALL working a very long day today. So what happens when it comes down to tons of people ordering online for something and they're sold out?? Yes it sort of sucks that we can't get livestock online but I can totally sympathize with them.

Just my two cents

Terry, I sense that you're angry about something...

would it not be a great idea to have somone looking after the online orders only so that they get looked after in the same way as the people lucky enough to be able to grace the store today and recieve the same great deals.I now they are probaly al going to be beat tonight when this is al over and i feel for them al but thats al part of having a sale.I'm not ****ed off at anyone in general just would like the same great specials as the locals.I'm not sure what it is but i would think the online orders are probaly a good size chunk of the pie that keeps the great prices that they have and it would be nice to get a bit to.

Terry, I agree it would be good to get the deals online, but I think Christy's explanation covers it fairly easily. Having someone on the phone taking orders means they wouldn't have time to answer questions about the livestock, etc, and then they would get complaints about bad service, yada yada....
I can understand why they do it this way, although an announcement in their newsletter might have been nice.
Try to not let it ruin your holidays!!
