Looking for a good online store for fish. Reef2go? Any good

Mat1018 · 02/10/2013, 09:34 PM

I was looking at reef2go they have some good deals and I like there free shipping within Florida but I also read a bunch of bad reviews on them. I would like a site that offers free shipping if possible without having to spend 200$-300$ on fish. I prefer to get fish slowly not to just buy a bunch and put them in the tank. Any anyone has used reef2go how was the service?

I like liveaquaria but I'm not looking to spend 225$ just for free shipping I rather just go to my lfs but I really like there site they just need to do more free shipping deals. I'll have to look at the bluezooaquatics

I have bought from reef2go. One tiny YWG doing well. 2 cleaner shrimp and 2 peppermint shrimp-one of each dead in 24 hrs. Randallis pistol DOA. Problem is instore credit for the deaths doesn't really get my money back unless I want to come up with $40 to ship again. LA on the other hand sent me wrong fish and wrong clam, but credited the $150 back to my card and let me keep both.

I like the deals most sites do but from people's reviews and problems I feel like its not worth the trouble to order online. But i hate how the fish stores never seem to run any deals or have what im looking for. I'll just have to do more research

saltwaterfish.com is another good site. I have used them a few times and they have "free shipping" deals all the time. Usually the deal is to order something for $50 and get free shipping, there is almost always a clean up crew there so I usually go with that.

Live aquaria is definitely one of the best. You get what you pay for. They stand behind their products and will do what ever it takes to make sure every customer is happy. If you want one item at a time shipped free you may have to take your chances with the company you mentioned because you aren't going to find any place like live aquaria that could afford to offer this. I once received a "bad" order from live aquaria. They took care of everything immediately no questions asked and even went against their own policies to make sure I was happy. In the end it probably ended up costing them money for my order. I worked for one of the companies that deliver these orders and I can promise you they are not handled gently. A really good guarantee is a must! That being said, if you want to get small orders shipped free, you may just have to take a chance. Good luck!
