Big Al's VS Dr. Foster & Smith

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I use Big Al's for fitler media mostly. Everything else I get from the Dr.'s F & S or locally.

I really like Dr's F & S because I get my stuff overnight (well used too, FedEx has sent my last three orders on a trip across the Mid-West.) Sometimes Dr's F & S sales beat Big Al's prices.

I do place big orders with Big Al's during their free shipping promos though.
 
marinedepot.com.. free shipping anything you order above $180. and i think their price is more competitive with big als. well, i live in so. cal. and marinedepot is in so. cal. to so i get my stuff the next day. the item itself maybe cheap but check the shipping... it is where the price becomes more. Dr. Foster and Smith is also competitive in pricing but try not to buy anything that is on backorder.. they sometimes take forever.:D My only suggestion... if you're buying stuff.. check the price from at least 4-6 websites or look for it at google or yahoo, i get all sorts of stuff from different website because their prices are much better and reasonable shipping cost. it doesn't mean big al is expensive for me... i got some better deals on some other websites. :)
 
i like big als... but they dont have plumbing parts
 
jemco has keys of krill for 25$ on sale now
 
I've tried them all at one time or another. I like Petsolutions best because of where I live. I can take delivery of my order on the second day from them shipped ground. With the others it takes at least 4 or more days to get my stuff. Also like JEMCO, and Aquatic Eco-Systems. Azponds is a great place to buy pumps.
 
Big als for me .They match all prices plus beat it by 5%.I live in NY so it is there next day.As for plumbing home depot
 
I like Dr. foster and smith, I usually get all my stuff within 3 days and the prices are pretty good.
