Sfin's Dream.

[Fishy888]

Im really hoping 90 is not the next price jump. I've used io/rc for 20ish years. That price is going to hurt the hobby for me.

Same here.

 

[Fishy888]

The better deal is from autoship. Not sure how all petsmarts work, I don't like 50lbs of salt dropped at my door if i can prevent it. Ups hates me after those deliveries.

I just go pick mine up and go from there. That way I don’t have to worry about damage.

Difficult enough with additives all over the shipping box. Now I gotta order carbon. At least thats not alway a mess when it arrives.

Speaking of stores.... reef crystals is 90 at petsmart in stores. I about blew a fuse.. asked for a price match from their website

Chewy and they deliver $41 petsmart is hot garbage. They are starting to carry just thier brands and petsmart brant top fin and thrive aren't of high quality.

Hopefully they matched thier price.

Petco will price match and sometimes you will find it cheaper in the store

I’ll be using chewy too if PetSmart pulls that stunt. Some top fin stuff is serviceable but I wouldn’t use their salt on my driveway if they paid me to take it, much less put it in a reef. Too many horror stories about their salt.

Just BOPIS it, then you don't even have to ask

Not accurate.

 

[danieyella]

Speaking as someone who is literally in the building every day, PetSmart definitely is not carrying only their brand. None of their brand is suitable for saltwater, and nothing in the saltwater section is PetSmart branded in our locations. In fact, I meet with the buyers this week to talk about some of the things we want to see and a better saltwater variety is one of the things we're all pushing for. Even non-hobbyists. Also trying to push for a better food variety in general for fish of both types among other things.

That wasn't an option for autoship and pay. There was a nice discount for the autoship not offered to instore pickup. After buying a dog bed, which was 70 in store, online it was 49.... So.... now to BOPIS in most cases.

They sometimes give discounts for orders over $50 too.

You know, I am not most people. Just ask if I use a term you don't know a meaning too. I won't get grippy and say "lmgtfy"

My wife is into this for groceries but I think its more trouble then its worth....

If you allow substitutions you get nothing you want.
If you don't you get nothing because the shopper usually too lazy to find it and just says they're out.
If you order any produce expect the worst.

BOPIS is a pain in my wrarse (wrass + ****)

I do not allow anyone to choose my produce for me, well except the husband because he is the one that actually does the food shopping. I use the pickup option a lot for stores like Target, Joanne fabrics and the occasional Starbuck (shh dont judge).,.. Its helpful so I can run in and out of a store quickly on my way to get kids. Once I have them, going to the stores is a PITA with all the car seats in and out blah blah blah

 

[Goaway]

I will

When aren't you gripey? Yuh I went there.

Let me google that for you, or I'm not most people?

Maybe most people are like me... Now I'm confused.
