Ordering snails from Reeftopia

[Fishingandreefing]

Just want to see if anyone had ordered from Reeftopia lately if so how was it.

I am in the east coast and ordered from them once couple years ago. Package arrived without water and about 20% DOA which they later refunded the cost.

I want to give them another shot. Lately weathers being in the mid 80s here and wonder if they provide enough ice packs to keep them cool.

thanks!

Reeftopia would probably be the one to ask about ice packs.

Order from reefcleaners. He has more and a lot better prices. Never had problems with him.

I checked, reefercleaner is more expensive. I need a lot so it adds up

I ordered from Reeftopia a month ago with good results. I mostly ordered small hermit crabs, nerite snails, and some non-CUC items like rock flower anemones and ricordea mushrooms.
I've also ordered from ReefCleaners and have had good service there as well.

Yes, ReefCleaners uses USPS for free shipping. I have had dead snails in my orders before, but not many.

He doesn’t ship above 95 degrees and with cooling packs it’s no problem. I just checked cerith and blue legged hermits just to compare prices. Reefcleaners in cheaper. He has a better variety too. Your money though.

Gotcha! I absolutely not a fan of hermits as they kill off other snails. I mainly want Mexican turbo but they never had that.

There is typically significant die off with their lousy packaging and shipping. Used them 3x and never again.

Depending on what you feed and how to maintain, I'm interrupting this sales pitch as it's awful to read, if you want to maintain a great cuc you can purchase anywhere and pick and choose your requirements

Usps priority can take up to 5 days so I don’t play with that.
