I'd be willing to add a couple of things to the order to test the waters, but the weather does concern me a bit. I think the delivery would have to be timed very well.

Also, is he willing to do "Saturday hold for pickup?" I ordered from Fragbox last week, and I really appreciated that he was willing ship on Friday for it to be held for pickup on Saturday. It cost a little more, but it saved my corals from bouncing around in a delivery truck. I think that is even a bigger concern with the weather.

Yah I not just a bit concerned but extremely concerned about the weather. Winter has come way too soon, especially in Calgary. Maybe mother nature is trying to make up her lack of winter last year

Alongside, fragalot does have some very tempting stuffs with very tempting price but doesn't have the best rep of shipping, particularly the correct stuffs. The weather might make it worse don't you think? But if some people are willing to risk it, I am in too

Saturday pick up is an option and im all for it considering. Just a review from last time. I ordered 6 frags last time and had a plug of zoa's melt but then again my red acan has trippled in size over 3 months. As a general rule sps does not always ship well but the lps and everything else tends to ship well in my experience.

I was thinking of ordering a SPS, few rics and few zoas. Maybe an acan. My budget is around $40-$50.

I am more like chipping in

Sounds great. I didnt mean to shy you away from ordering sps. Have at it, I only had bad luck is all. The acans I received were/are awesome. Last time, whoever was in, just paid Burc for their order and a master order list was sent to him so he knew who had what and who had paid instead of one of us having to deal with others cash. I like this way best if it works for everyone else.
