I realize it was to short a notice to coordinate this overnight. I see the possibilities of this being something fun and productive. I'm going to try again over the weekend. Because this is a long holiday weekend I will go pick up fish and deliver on Wednesday. If I can get everything coordinated I will do it on Tuesday. This give me one day to communicate special wants with the wholesales on Tuesday and then pickup and deliver on Wednesday. Also at the beginning of the week the selection is better.
Let's try again, this time with more planning!
I'm going to open 10 slots for people to order fish and or inverts and have me deliver them on my way back to my facility. If I feel like I can do more then I will.
Here are the parameters:
1. PM me the fish you want, your address and cell number.
2. I will send you back the pricing. Yes, it will be retail pricing so as to not compete with LFS. (I will get the pricing for the fish from the regular retail price on liveaquaria.com. Yes, I will make some money.)
3. You will pay, in full, by Venmo or Zelle before 7 am tomorrow morning.
4. I will program my route and give you an estimated time of delivery. I will probably run behind. So if you are having fish delivered at work, think about your schedule. If your time is close to 3pm, consider having fish delivered to your home. I can be flexible. The fish will be packed by the wholesaler as if they were to be shipped overnight, so they will be good for the day as long as they are not exposed to varied temperatures.
ALL orders will include a 10ml dose of ParaGard (enough for a 3 gallons 1 hour dip) and dipping instructions. Also included here: For 1 hour dips, use 3 mL per 4 L (1 US gallon) in a container separate from your main tank. Dips may be extended if the fish show no evidence of stress. Keep in mind that many diseases linger in the water as well as on the fish. Giving a fish a dip treatment does no good if they go right back into infected water.
Delivery will be FREE if:
1. You spend more than $250 and are within 40 miles of my route. Any additional mileage is 65 cents per mile off of my route.
2. You spend more than $150 and are within 30 miles of my route. Any additional mileage is 65 cents per mile off of my route.
3. You spend more than $75 and are within 15 miles of my route. Any additional mileage is 65 cents per mile off of my route.
4. You spend more than $50 and are within 5 miles of my route. Any additional mileage is 65 cents per mile off of my route.
Otherwise delivery is 65 cents per mile off of my route.
My route will be determined by the best way to travel to get everyone their fish as cheaply as possible.
Please note that there is an arrive alive guarantee ONLY. Once I hand you the animal(s) it is up to you to keep it alive from that point on. These are NOT quarantined animals. They will come directly from the wholesaler. This is designed to be a premium service. I find fish for you at the wholesalers that you may not be able to get at your LFS. It take time to search all the wholesalers inventory. This service is more expensive then going to your LFS and buying fish. Please support your LFS.
Once I am on the road I will NOT answer texts. I may answer phone calls. I may not know who you are. Please provide me with some grace. This will be a complicated operation. If you want to text or call me feel free: 760-880-0331. I prefer to make initial arrangements by PM, but will accommodate you.
