I am doing a new build and I have placed a few orders with BRS. I am not super happy with their pricing... I feel like BRS pricing is slightly higher than all other places on pretty much everything. Its just tough for me to not shop sometimes just due to the convenience, but I feel a bit slighted when I go to search the prices on things and consistently everything is more expensive (not by a lot). I also don't have the time to get customer service to price check everything. Even with the routine sales, BRS prices are still higher. Here are a few examples:
Eheim Jager from BRS
From Amazon (not sure why the price on the 25 watt is so high)
I was trying to buy a return jet for my new build
from Premium Aquatics and Marineandreef
\
Also some consumables are considerably more expensive. Food grade citric acid is considerably cheaper, colored sch40 pvc pipe from home depot, RODI filters, etc... Anyway this is not a complaint or an attack. Just my own thoughts and opinions while doing my new build... but it has definitely turned me off of BRS recently. I used to go and fill up the shopping cart. Now I am googling prices for everything I am purchasing even during a sale as I can't trust their prices.
