Shipping stuff is really sketchy now. With it being winter, I'd be extra careful having living animals shipped to me. I would try to find an online vendor that is relatively close to you. Mark Levinson, melevsreef on YouTube, is from the Dallas area and his club goes on a LFS crawl on a bus they rent every year. He does a lot of great acrylic work and you could save a ton by not having to pick it up.

Try other local reefers

I have a couple for sure most are extremely over priced for what they are selling but if I come across something that looks reasonable I usually buy.

I’ll definitely look into. I know top shelf aquatics is spot on with their shipping and handling as they pack things so nicely. They would honestly be the only guys I trust to online order from. I just didn’t know what else was comparable out there.

World Wide corals is amazing. Battle Corals is also a great online vendor. It's not the vendors, it's the shipping companies. I have gotten so many items days later than expected. I also live in Montana, it is supposed to be around 10 below. I don't order livestock during the winter because of this. I'd just try to order from vendors that are within a state of you. Tidal Gardens is in Ohio and they are amazing. He also has a fantastic YouTube channel.
I'd look into joining a club for sure if I lived a city like Dallas. You can always get the best deals through local reefers, plus you can sometimes borrow something when things break and it's an emergency.
