You guys have a trusted fish store that you no longer trust to order you fish? I've been waiting for an Endlicheri Bichir and Rope Fish for over 2 months now. I mean, they can't be that hard to source, being I can find them all over in both wholesale and retail. The only thing stopping me from ordering from them is without buying $150 in fish to take advantage of free shipping over $150, shipping kills it.

My lfs is terrible when it comes to special orders. I'd you can even get them to do it most of the time it takes ages
It's actually driven me away from their business now. I'm trying another LFS that I don't use as often.
No way around paying shipping ay some point if your going to keep mfk fish.
I don't mind paying shipping when my shipping cost is less than the total of all my fish
I hear ya man sometimes things just don't go as planned up to you how to proceed. When I order a poly I have to pick it up at the airport 2+ hrs each way. Not fun but it is what it is
Consider yourself lucky. If I walk into my lfs and say endlicheri I'm likely to hear "Shirley who"?
lol I'm lucky to have a LFS that gets cool stuff in all the time but special ordering can be a drawn out pain since the guy who orders everything has to have the list approved by the manager. However I have another store who will special order me anything they can get unfortunately their suppliers aren't as good as the other store.
My local fish store dropped the ball two times for simple quotes for a tank bigger than my 210 gallon at the time. I really wanted to buy local on that and brand new so I wouldnt have any issues. I figure if I gave them a chance and they didnt get back to me that they didnt want my business. I ended up risking an online company and spent thousands and couldn’t be happier. My local store lost out by not following through.
I wouldn’t even trust a single store by me to even order a fish... thankfully l have Wet Spot within a two hour drive or shipping to me is only about $28
