'Rural' Alberta Problems

[ponokareefer]

I'm in the same boat as you and not found a solution to the problem. Some companies I dealt with years back would courier it to your door, but they have since stopped that practice. A few stores said they would custom order me things, but then said I had to pick it up that day(week day) and had to pay full price in advance. I do have one company that told me a few months back that they would bring in a more difficult to care for fish and hold it for a month for me, but I am waiting until after Christmas to order it and see if they will hold true to their word regarding that. Hopefully a company out there will be more friendly to the out-of-towners, but thus far, I haven't had much luck.

Yeah it's unfortunate that there isn't a method to help us out. There are fish I really like I've found in stock on one of the sponsored vendors website for less than what the store I shop at offers them. I'm sure all the best stock is picked through before I get a chance to get in and have a look and as I said before, I could drive 2 hours only to see nothing that appeals to me for months. Maybe when I make some pals on here we can coordinate some group buys and figure out a pick up system that works.
