If fokls would do their homework and beuy from a reputable place like
Premium Aquatics / Drs Foster and Smith etc, there is no risk at all
involved, and they truly have a hassle free warranty and replacement
policy..............on everything. I ordered over $450 worth of marine
fish and critters.Yes I had some die, or that did not look
good.........and there is no reason in the world that I would think
they packed them like that to begin with, it just was something that
happened. I called them up and they made note of it, and stated that
they would not do any further rectifying of my purchase until the end
of my 14 day life period was up, just incase others
died.............ONce the 14 days were up I got a phone call from them
tekling me what my options were.....Credit mycredit card back for the
price.............issue me a store credit, or send replacement fish
etc at no additional costs for shipping to me............I asked to
have replacements sent..whicih they did, and I got perfectly fine fish
except for one, whjich they issued my credit card a credit back on. No
dead bodies to return, no hassles etc, just friendly and helpfull
sales associates. Reputable places are not gonna rip you off over a
$5.00 pl;ant or a $2 fish or a $100 fish..but yu gotta do yur homework
and not be naieve and just buy where you see low
prices.................I can honestly say I have spent a heap of money
online buying not only livestock like fish and corals and plants but
lots of other items from A to Z and I have yet to ever get screwed
even inthe slightest..............but I do my homework first, before
any credit card transactions take place....even for a $5 item I check
em out.
