Default Big Al's

Why not support J&L, their normal pricing kicks Big Al's? By forcing Big Al's to price match we take away our support from a supplier that gives us better pricing constantly.

I agree with the statement completely and admire your loyalty. You shop like I do. However it is the customer that is the deciding factor in pricing. If enough people demand that their pricing reflect going market value, a responsible retailer will adapt accordingly. Or we could hope anyways.

I have no credit card to shop at jl with...so it makes life difficult. Plus i can not always be around at the right times to recieve livestock etc by courier, whereas local shops i go when i can...i have a busy life..i certainly can't fit it around my fish unfortunatly.

Doesn't really help with the credit card issue, but for delivery I have the same issue, so I pay a bit more and they fly it out to me at night and I pick it up at the airport.

For dry goods just specify no signature required, or pick it up at the depot yourself works too.

Default J & L Order

Yeh I would add a couple of items ( dry goods ). I am not going to buy anything else until after the frag meet, Unless I get some of those pink Zoos that I put my name in on.

Careful with the Purple Tang.

I got one from J&L about a month ago and it was super skinny. He's doing better now and getting fatter every day, but it was a close call. (especially since I have other tangs)
