Jackson has a mailing list you could get it on, gives you some preordered options but it's pretty sparse in the most recent issue. He also might go through toyin.
So....... What happened to all the poly venders?

Well iv emailed jacksons Ned's Jason at adc none have replied sent all 3 2 emails a piece over the last few days I don't even bother with toyon I could never get him to sell me anything when I was buyin em like crazy awhile back so.... Ya....
Working in retail and in the customer service for many years now it really amazes me how bad these guys run their businesses. I don't know how many times I've heard people have not bought from vendors because they just were too busy to answer or just ignored their emails or even texts.
I know in the grand scheme of things these are just individuals like you and me and not a high volume like a store but many of us hardcore poly guys easily have a thousand dollars in fish. (If not more!) Granted not in one sale but over a course of time.
I know ADC does a lot of oversea sales of poly and that is his focus. With the storefront down he still sells online but is slow getting back with you. I was going to get a Faranah endli from him and started things going and then he left me hanging. I decided to try Toyin who did get back to me and got me a Dabola endli and Koliba. Again a huge hassle trying to get a commitment in sale... lol, please take my money, I want your poly! So here it is my new fish are settled in and I get contacted by ADC about shipping out my Faranah.... Well this is great but its now 6 weeks later! I kindly said my finical situation changed and I could not place an order at this time. But that is not what I really wanted to say! (I did want to leave the door open for future poly purchases)
Anyway rant over. Just be persistent with these guys and eventually you may get a fish from one of them, lol

I take it like this... nothing factual but my assumption is they are all probably getting top dollar with over seas sales and may be easier for them to just sell whole sale to an lfs. It is annoying but in the end i look at it as the vendor might be doing me a favor... what my little 1 or 2 polys when he may be selling in bulk.
Similar happened to me wit tryin awhile back had 4 polys I was goin to get got it all the way up to he was about to ship them ..... Then left me hangin for like 2 weeks emailed several times never got a reply so I bought from adc instead and no joke ... 1 hour after placing the order wit adc toyon emailed back and said I'm shipping them today what's ur address ....... I was like URGH! Face palm lol
Jason used to be very very good ... Emailed back consistently shipped on ur time when he could .... He even sat on the phone wit me a couple times and just bs'd wit me for like a hour lol but I have been out the poly game for a min so idk what he does or whatever now

, even with Toyin I was not sure they were coming until he texted me and said he was at the post office and shipping was going to be a bit higher than his original quote. He asked if that was okay... Of course I immediately texted YES, YES, YES, lol. The fish came the next day.I am in the process of looking for an ansorgii and ADC says they should have some coming in soon and since shipping is only like $22-$25 to get a poly from him... I will patiently put up with the crap to get my fish.
He is still in the poly game but his focus is oversea markets. He will eventually get back with you...
