'Rural' Alberta Problems

[Scythanith]

Most stores will order in items you want and hold them for you. At most they will require payment upfront, no different from an online source. Then you pick up when you can make it in to town. If it's the actual drive you're unhappy about.... well not much you can do about that aside from moving closer. The living things we bring in don't react well to bus shipping, multiple day shipping to rural locations, etc.

It's not just the drive. Here's the issue. I work sometimes 3 months straight, 12-16 hours a day. When I get a chance to just suddenly head into Calgary I normally don't know until that morning or the night before. So I will drive nearly 2 hours one way, look around and there is nothing certain I will like anything there. So I guess in a perfect world I could find the exact livestock I want from a reputable vendor online and have it shipped the next day directly to my front door. But maybe I'll consider moving instead.

with the money you`re making I`d just be heading south to see fish on a real reef.

My travel days are over for another 14 years or so. Someday!

For anyone that is interested, I've been talking with Incredible Aquarium via email and it looks as thought Air Canada flies to Red Deer. Trying to get into the Red Deer airport for pick up would be a lot easier for me to pull off than the Calgary one. I am thinking about giving this a shot soon and ordering some fish from IA.
