Well, the selection was good for inverts and corals.. all in all I think most people that were there left happy. So I would say yes. I saw a few people in front of me lay down over 700$... so.. must have been good

I have to say, that I like the staff at JL and they have always been very helpful when they have time. They do spend quite a bit of time with their customers, you just have to have patience... most times when I visit, I stay at least an hour. Mostly because they are on the phone taking orders or answering questions or taking care of another client.
When they are finished I get great service. And knowledgable service. I like that and will wait for it. As for livestock, they have flat out told me that ALL the good livestock is shipped. I was specifically referring to corals at the time (sps) because all they have in their tanks are BROWN. Anyways, I stopped by today at 11:30 -12:00 - trust me, you missed nothing by not getting a deal on livestock. Did you want the 1 madnarin dragonet in the store that was missing an eye (but otherwise healthy) or the 6 sharknose gobies or the few tangs and couple of chromis? Their tanks were empty today. The dry goods, I picked up a few things (and some extra live rock at $3.99 per pound). I was happy I could save a few bucks somewhere. Would have loved a great fish (I am still understocked) or a great piece of coral, but I am not whining that there wasnt any livestock in... it's just a fact of life.

Online J&L
I made a large order @J&L on,Boxing Day,online. I forgot a small thing and didn't want to ship it separate and pay shipping. I called and was helped with in 2 miinutes...and not rude. Mind you I am treated much better, at Safari Pets, a LFS, but for large orders or speciallity items...it is basically J&L only(esp prices),therefore J&L becomes a large cross country mail order supplier,with the volume and less individual attention. Even though I wish the staff would not be so rude to us customers (should be easy to fix if anyone knows the owners) ,I'll take rude and relable above lip service anyday.

I can't belive people are bashing J&L because they are not having online sales on live stock. I do believe that it is the store that decides what they are going to put on sale for boxing day and not the people and I also belive that they can set stipulations.
this is like bashing futureshop because they only had 10 of the 27" tv's for 199.99 and I didn't get one  if you sit and think about it instead of freaking out, there are several logistic reasons why it makes sence to offer local only discounts on live stock. Also they have no ailinated online people at all there is free shipping on orders over 300.00, you think that some one who goes in to J&L to buy something asks for a extra discount because they don't need the free shipping?
