Any good online stores?

crickit24 · 01-18-2003, 03:02 PM

I'm looking for a few online stores to buy my supplies and ect. from and have good deals. I found one (www.premiumaquatics.com) but would like to have a couple more for the bargain hunt.

Any help or ideas for the bargain would be appreciated.

I doubt you can beat PA for customer service and price.

I haven't bought from premium yet, I use PetWarehouse but I think their Bulk shipping has gone up, maybe ok for smaller stuff?
I did buy from PetsWarehouse they had low prices and are in the East(Long Island) but to many times I had to call about the order 2 weeks later and they never shipped it. The last time they debited my credit card and lost the order. My opinion don't do them.

I would recomend www.premiumaquatics.com We have dealt with just about all of our sponsors, and I would highly recomend them for their speciality. There is also www.marinedepot.com and www.drsfostersmith.com also www.championlighting.com and many others. We have used all of the ones listed and I like premium and drsfostersmith the best.

I've ordered from Drs. Foster and Smith since ---- 1987! Since before there was an "online"!! They supplied me with all the shots and meds for pups and kitties for years.

Ditto, on Jon's and Shirley's post,Premium is one on the best for drygoods,(Jason won't try to sell you garbage, and does not carry it) Petwarehouse and Fosters and Smith (never ordered from F+S on fish stuff,,(only dog stuff when that was all they carried), but if the fish stuff is the same as the quality of the dog stuff, no worries

You can't beat Premium Aquatics for price and service. They also price match but that's rarley an issue since their prices are already low. On occasion I have ordered from someone else when it was an item that PA didn't carry but the biggest complaint I've had with other vendors is that they don't ship your order in a timely manner, sometimes it's several days before the order is shipped. PA has always shipped my order the same day I placed it and due to my location I get it in two business days with regular UPS ground.

I have heard bad things about 1 of them and have not used any of them. I can only offer what I have dealt with

Me too. Just be very careful who you deal with Crickit.

Dr foster & Smith are great but that is before I knew of our sponsors without the information so redily available here I would have already made costly errors that seemed fine with F&S so please try to support the sponsors of this wonderful site!

after all thy dont have a sponsored website you can go complain on if they mess up.

Dr. Foster and Smith gets my vote.... have ordered from them alot.... my most recent order was lost in shipment... FedEx said they delivered my box but didn't, I called Dr Foster and Smith told them Fed Ex said they delivered it but didn't... they resent everything, next day shipment to me again, no extra cost, no questions, didn't even wait for Fed Ex to try and track down where the original box was.... they were exteremly helpful.. unlike Fed Ex customer service.

BTW... Box was delivered 3 buildings down to some guy who was on vacation for 2 weeks.

www.hellolights.com is a great place for lighting, and darn cheap. As far as the other stuff, I agree with the rest of the group here.

Cricket, here's a hint...

aquaCON...

sombody put the "con" in aquacon....

be careful ordering from them.

There, I was nice, didn't slam anybody that might have ripped off more than a few folks. I never said anything bad about ANYBODY!

Heck, it's too bad when you can't give your honest opinion on the net when you personally have had bad experiences with an on-line company.

Any good online stores?

Hint...
