No one had a gun to their head and was made to order from him, everyone was likely seeing the bad reviews and must have thought "won't happen to me" and for this to be happening for years makes my eyes just glaze over in wonderment when I hear complaints. So where does someone lay the blame, I would say 75% to the person ordering. Every vendor has DOA'S but when Burc does it's a heinous crime. Everyone I'm sure has had a vendor or LFS say "oh well sorry" with no compensation. In my opinion to ask Canreef to fight on your behalf or to punish him is wrong. I don't know what the code of conduct is for vendors on this site but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say the vendor has to conduct their business with canreefs code of customer morals and values, I could be wrong. I hear that this site if more open to free speach and has a family feel to it but that leads to more of a personal opinion form of policing because of freindships, and that is a slippery slope.

I could go on but I haven't had any coffee yet and I'm starting to loose focus, as a matter of fact I can't remember why I even started this post..lol oh well, it took me long enough to type this so I might as well "submit reply"

The problem back then was that he was the guy who wouldn't send what you ordered and then refused to refund you or replace frags for you when you did not get what you originally paid for. Then if you came on here to post a complaint about it, it quickly got deleted since he was a paying sponsor. So numerous people were getting ripped off for years because no one was aware of what was really going on.

After awhile people started pm'ing each other, so then word of how much he would consistently mess things up and rip people off started to get out. But it was all behind the scenes, new members had no idea and would fall victim to his cheep prices. Wasn't until enough fed up members banded together and constantly harassed the mod's, and people started lawsuits against him that he finally was removed as a vendor and the truth came out for all to be aware of.

Even now that the truth is out there I still hear people saying "I had a good experience.....he messed up my order" all in the same breath. How is someone who constantly messes up orders a "good experience"???????? Sure it's nice that at the moment he sends replacements, but most of the replacements aren't what you ordered in the first place! If I pay someone for XYZ coral I want XYZ not XTR.

I wasn't going to comment on this thread....but I decided I had add my 2 cents

I had no idea about this vendor when I ordered from him, I just happened to come across a group order thread that some people over from the island were putting together....So I went over to his site to check. So..ya allowing these threads is giving him advertising....and unsuspecting members are still going to him because of these.

I'm not going to get into all the details but I'll just say that after 2 attempts at my friends and I's order nothing was right, alive or refunded. In my opinion...if you burn me once I'll never use you again.....even if they were grade A frags for a buck each.

But hey.....if you all feel like playing Burks Lotto....give er

(just my 2 cents on the topic)

Is Fragalot making any request to post positive feedback after orders? I ask out of curiosity, for example wickedfrags.ca would always request that positive feedback be posted. Is fragalot asking anyone for posted feedback?

No he is not. And wouldn't.

[Delphinus]

Why wouldn't he?

For that matter why are you speaking for him? Let him come here and speak for himself.

Not from me, I haven't bought from him in over two years but a couple of weeks ago when I saw he had WYSIWYG LPS colonies I was all over it. I bought teal hammers and frogspawn, yellow Octos, gold hammers all at very competitive prices. I did have one DOA colony due to a leaky bag, not a hassle getting it dealt with.
