marine depot funny people!

[spscrazy]

got my shipping details from Marine depot today gotta love these folks !
Good news, TINA!

Your aquarium supplies have been carefully picked from Marine Depot's shelves like delicate berries and placed into a wicker basket lined with unicorn fur. With the grace of a ballerina, we tiptoed them to our packing station where Santa's Elves—who work with us during their off-season—prepared your order for shipment.

Your products were methodically placed in each box using techniques taught to us by a former Tetris World Champion. Using a pair of tweezers, we placed hundreds of packing peanuts one-by-one into every nook and cranny to ensure safe transport. We are proud to share with you that our packing peanuts are reusable, recyclable, biodegradable and made using 100% recycled content. They also do not trigger peanut allergies. Eat your heart out, Mr. Peanut.

Saying goodbye to such sought-after products is always gut-wrenching. That is why we offer employees unlimited handkerchiefs as a part of our generous benefits package. As your order was whisked away at light speed down our assembly line into the loving arms of the shipping courier, our warehouse elves, with tears in their eyes, joined hands and whispered, "Jábba sô kalîk qonay." We don't speak Elvish ourselves, but they tell us the rough translation is "May these supplies bring stability and success to the aquarium and its owner." Wow, we are getting a little choked up ourselves now. Thanks, elves.

As the delivery truck pulled away from our warehouse dock, a rare double rainbow appeared overhead. That's when we knew the products we had raised since they were mere hatchlings were on their way to a better home. Please take care of them and, we promise, they will take care of you.


With sincere appreciation,

The MarineDepot.com Family

[Steelerfan747]

I have always been satisfied with their service but I never received an email like that. That is great :)

 

[Steelerfan747]

Makes me want to go and order something from them right now just to see if I get one. In fact I think I will :)

you're making me laugh again Connie! :bounce:

 

[allabout]

Haha it's great to see a company with a good sense of humor. If I recall they were the ones who sent an email on or around April fools day about clownfish eggs or something like that - just add water.

 

[Tabasco1]

That is pretty freakin funny. Has anybody ever gotten extra "freebies"? I ordered from them a couple months ago and there was a standard RODI micron replacement filter thrown in. I couldn't tell if it was an accident or like the freebie frag you sometimes get.

 

[SPSjunky]

ok that was awesome.on my way to marinedepot to place a order

 

[EmilyXLC]

Is it bad that I'm willing to order from them just because of this?

 

[uall8up]

That is AWESOME! So nice for a company to put in a special extra for their customers!! Can't wait to place an order to show them that taking that extra few minutes pays off!!! Thank you for sharing that!

 

[dsmhero]

lol got that same email last time i ordered from them.

 

[Nanoreefbro]

I haven't gotten that email and I order from them all the time.. Looks like I need to place an order too lol...

 

[buddythelion]

[FateX8]
