whats everyone' go to online store for supplies?

I used to order from BRS. but finding lately that for shipping is really taking longer than It used to. used to be 3 to 5 business days. but lately it seems that is thrown out the window and taking more like 7 to 10 business days.

I ended u switching to ordering from saltwater aquarium. which has a better turn around time to getting the shipping to me with 3 to 5 business days,.

I like aqua cave, but it’s local for me. I order something and drive to get it. They often have great discounts.

I have used Saltwateraquarium.com even from the UK! :) Considering shipping across the Atlantic, price and shipping time is reasonable and the service is great!

Usually though, i try to shop at the LFS unless it's something i can't get in the UK.

Bumping this thread. I usually buy from brs but lately they really are dropping the ball. Stuff missing and the shipping lately seems rather high. Lastly they are in the middle of inventory and no we’re in the website says that. My order is a week out would have been nice to know. How is everyone’s else’s experiences else were. I have tried aqua cave and saltwater aquarium.

I've been using fish tanks direct lately. Tax free and free shipping adds up.

I am also a Saltwateraquarium fan. Never had an issue and they have always been honest with me.

SaltwaterAquarium.com or Amazon usually for me. I’ve used aquacave for salifert test kits. I generally find other smaller vendors have better prices than BRS after you calculate shipping
