Who has orders from bulk reef supplies?

I used to order from these guys all the time until I realized they are charging 15% for taxes on top of the shipping price. That might not be too bad for BC or other places but its 10% more than you should be paying in Alberta.

I complained about it but he said there was nothing that could be done as it was based on the port of entry. That doesn't really make any sense to me.

There is a Canadian website at www.reefwater.net that sells BRS products so you can avoid the high brokerage and shipping charges.

Okay, I just assumed you were looking for actual BRS products.

Let's look at Soda Ash for example. Nothing on BRS site is sold by pound so it's not obvious how to compare.

Reefwater:

http://www.reefwater.net/shop/index....product_id=202

Soda Ash $4.99 / pound

BRS

http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-bu...upplement.html

Soda Ash $18.99 / 7 pounds (1 gallon)

If you're a BRS preferred reefer it's $17.09 / 7 pounds.

I have a gallon of the BRS Soda Ash handy and it says 7 pounds on it. Their site doesn't seem to list its weight.

BRS is much cheaper but by the time you factor in shipping, taxes and built-in duty who knows. I have a ton of trust for anything coming from BRS and order from them all the time.

well i only did a quick look at the HC GFO price
their price is 24.99 per lbl while BRS is 53.99 for 1.75 lbs which is 30.85 per lbl

you're right that's really odd i'm not sure how it's possible. great price if it's accurate!

I ordered a 2 part kit that came with calc, alk, mag, bottles, measuring cups, etc. It was the same price including shipping as BRS was before all the tax and shipping. I don't see the same kit offered on either web site any more though (maybe it was promotional as it was around Christmas time) but it was indeed all packaged and labeled with BRS product labels. I had no issues but I never got around to dosing so I haven't bought from them since.
