I have almost exclusively ordered and bought supplies from Drs. Foster and Smith for years but their parent company Petco has decided to close down the division so now I must decide on a new online supplier.Which other sites do you all order from?
Which is your favorite online source for dry goods and supplies?

I was going to ask the same thing yesterday, but never made a post. I'd love to find a one stop place to get everything, like Dr. Foster and Smith. I rarely order from Amazon.
Prime is awesome, can get a lot of stuff next day no shipping cost. Everything I order from them has been that way from Prime, to NLS food to filter parts.
Ordered from Dr.Foster and Smith in the past but now Amazon. Going to open Prime account for that next day shipping.
Amazon (UV sterilizer ballasts and bulbs, RTL filter cartridges), Marine Depot and Bulk Reef Supply for pumps, heaters, UV sterilizers, etc., Kens Fish for food.
Definitely best to shop around. I spend $$$$$$$$$ shopping on Amazon. Recently, I found a new Triscuit that the whole family really liked. I couldn't find it again so I paid $11.99 a box plus shipping. The next day i found the same item at the grocery store for 2 for $5. So you can definitely get ripped off. Buyer Beware. The other thing I found with Amazon is that while most items are carefully packaged, sometimes they are not... like my UV sterilizer ballasts were just dumped into a cardboard box, and they banged and rattled around in the box. Miracle that they worked. BTY, the Amazon Triscuits (private party seller) had a lot of broken pieces and crumbs.
I used to buy Cobalt Aquatics Algae Grazers (6 pounds) $69.55 on Amazon (which is a really good price). Ken's Premium Veggie Wafers are 5 pounds $36.97, so I buy from Kensfish.com now.
I'm afraid I shop on Amazon for the convenience.
