Where to get livestock ????

JR8999 · 11/15/2014, 11:03 AM

I alway want to support my LFS but the timing of the livestock inventory shipments doesnt always match up with the next items on my stocking list. I've often thought of just ordering from LA but I dont want to have to deal with being home to sign for the delivery and pay the shipping to boot. I usually end up purchasing something on my list but in the wrong order or something thats not on my list. I want to keep adding livestock whenever my QT is available for the next batch but the timing of availability is frustrating.
How do you guys manage??

Supporting your lfs is always great but is not always practical. If they have what you want great, go for it, but they don't always. Find a smaller website that you can support and try them out, check out their DOA's and policy with shipping.

A lot of LFS will order something or hold something for you. That way you can keep to your schedule more or less.
