Bopis doesn't allow subs for most stores, usually only grocery stores.

Sorry, just the term "BOPIS"..... I didn't know what it meant and had to google it.
I'll go walk the plank

I didn’t know that one either.

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.

maybe it was s covid thing. I haven't walked into a petsmart in over a year because because all I seen was top fin and thrive.

I should take another look at petsmart they did have great deals on salt.

They had 3 buckets of IO 1 or 2 reef crystals left.

I'm sitting on a full bucked ordered 2 last time I needed salt. Poor ups lady. She couldn't have been more than 125lbs. Thankfully my boys where there to help.

The PetSmart, Petco, Pet Supplies Plus, and such don't carry any saltwater supplies at all around me. I found one or two that had a few things and some will have the small boxes of IO salt but that's it. You guys are lucky if have those as an option!

@hoffmeyerz To be honest our petco is just about as good as the lfs. The only difference is that they don't carry live stock.

I always feel so bad for the delivery people when I order my buckets from Chewy. They put them in a thin box that they kind of just crash around in. It makes it really hard to pick up. The bucket shifts around and the box just kind of collapses where you grab it because its so heavy.

always hear that thud when it hits the porch...

This is why I like to get my salt. I get to hold a handle. The buckets should be taped at the top, event though that seal is pretty good. Put the label on the lid!

my husband ordered a laptop... They did not give it special packaging, all the specs were on the box. They just smacked on a shipping label...

South West Michigan doesn't have much. That's surprising especially with the population size

Yep my delivery lady hates me... 2 buckets at a time...

I'm working on the mangrove lagoon. I want to place some plants around the lagoon any suggestions. Little worried about salt build up on leaves.

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.

Petsmart has owned Chewy since 2017.
