OMG! Liveaquaria switched their 14 day guarantee to a store credit!!!

keep yourself away from Aqua locker. All fishes are sick. They are the worse, Liveaquaria is still the best out there

Ok, Who paid you? This is your first post......WELCOME TO R2R!

And before I forget.

Aqualocker is a no go for me based on terms of guarantee, as are most online vendors. If you cannot use your store credit in combination with free shipping promotion then it is not worthwhile. I feel we are reaching a point where lfs are a better option then online vendors, that was not the case in the past.

Never used them. Never will. For fish I get local and support local businesses. I try also for coral but they can’t keep up with fellow local hobbyists.

Really?!? I don't believe that for a minute. Your LFS prices are too good to be true. But then again people post what they want on the internet don't they.

Kole tangs in Los Angeles are $26. DD charges $99 and Liveaquaria “sale” price on them is $60.
$99 for a Hovens/Melanurus wrasse while even Petco sells them for $29.99.
The price increase is real and significant.

I have experienced the same thing locally. Blue line triggers are $20-50 based on size locally, but listed on DD in the hundreds.

I've had really good experiences with Divers Den in the past but their prices have just gotten to be too high for me.

My LFS has fantastic prices. No QT or anything, you're getting what you get from the supply chain. They have refunded me (and other people I know) for fish that died shortly after purchase. I don't know if they have an official policy or time period for refund.

Considering I do an observational QT regardless of where I get my fish from, it doesn't make sense for me to pay DD's (or anyone else's) higher prices and subject the fish to additional shipping stress.

I have looked at Aqua Locker but not ordered from them. It seems to me that if they are charging extra for a 2 week guarantee but not putting the fish through any additional QT or treatment, it's just a markup. If they honestly believed their fish were of exceptional quality/health they would price accordingly and stand behind all sales equally.

Here is what one fish store in Huntington Beach, CA is offering this weekend. Notice Porters Angel is $40 vs $100 Liveaquaria price tag.

LA prices rarely have been more competitive than LFS for me, but I paid for the 2 week guarantee. The most expensive fish is a dead one.

I've never seen such prices from a LFS before. Those are insanely good prices lol
