Trip to Vancouver area

Shawn and his wife are great people they came down to the frag swap and bought some stuff that they had to make a run to the bank machine to get money to pay. They returned and bought their stuff and hung out for a bit and we all talked, I'd trust them any day.

Hope to see you at the next one.

I am going to go back to the stores on Friday the 26th and get my orders. I hope to be leaving the lower mainland at about 2pm. I will be driving back through Kelowna, then home to Vernon.

I don't mind picking orders up for anyone that will meet me fast along the way home. I am not affiliated in any way with any store, and I'm not gonna charge anything to do this. I just know as a salt water addict, the selection and prices are pretty good down there, and I will be there anyways.

I am just a regular guy, so I can't do any kind of guarantees, but all boxes will be going in my vehicles cab. I am only stopping to give people any orders, but will not go off my path, so be prepared to meet me on Harvey in Kelowna (Penticton peeps, if any, could meet me in Westbank), or near the Brewery if in Vernon ( near Polson Park ).

If you want anything (reasonable size), call the store. I don't want any orders pre bagged, I want them bagged while I watch, so the animals spend as little stressfull time in bags as possible. I expect to be in Kelowna somewhere near 7pm.

I'm not rich and well I probably don't know you, so you must prepay your orders and OK with the store for me to pick up.

If you want me to pick up, please email me as much details as possible, I get my emails on my IPhone so I will check them before I head out to the stores. If I don't reply, assume I didn't get your message so call my phone. Include your phone # and name. If you want to give the description of me to the stores, I am 6'5", dark short hair, and size 15 feet (lol). I'm 36, I'll show ID if they want.

I have not contacted the 3 stores yet, but I will this week to make sure they are ok with it, I think they will be as I have done this @ J&L for friends before.

Im pretty new here, so not many know me, but I have met some at the frag swap in Kamloops and around town.

My name is Shawn Wilde, my email is shawnwilde@shaw.ca, my phone # is 250-549-8089.

going to...
J & L Aquatics - ph 1-888-840-1146 or 604-444-1161
Ocean Aquatics - ph 1-800-605-0914 or 604-940-1988
King Ed Pet Centre - ph 604-525-4955

K, so I am definately picking up from J & L, and King Ed. Still planning to pre-shop the others on Thursday, so I may be picking up at those spots too.

I didn't bother calling the stores as I thought it would be kinda awkward to say...
"Hi, I may or may not be picking stuff up from your store, but I don't know for who" LOL.

So if you want me to pick up for you, tell them my info, as well as tell me

I am definately stopping quickly in Westbank, Kelowna, and Vernon.

Later, Shawn

So quite the trip on the way down, took my time cause there were lots of wiped out cars / trucks / and 1 semi.

You know how once you hit Hope it always stops snowing? Well not yesterday, it was snowing all the way to Burnaby!

Went to go to oceanic, but they were closed, no sign on door so I assume it was the snow.

Got the rsm 250 last night, going to j&l when they open.

All closed, picked up and delivered.
