Big Al's kicks butt. But I was wondering if there are any other good sites like theirs that you guys use. I see some with good prices on some things, like searching for proheat on google, but a lot of the web pages just look so cheesy that I can't really see ordering from any of them without a recommendation.
Are there any sites you WOULDN'T buy from again?
Ordered my Eheim 2028 pro II from Als today :D

I only order from Doctors Foster and Smith. I love their catalogs which has little bits on fish/plant/coral health and such. I order from them, at least 8-9 times a year (all of which are $50 dollar orders or more as I like to shop in bulk).
To go to their website, go to: Drs Foster and Smith (http://www.DrsFosterSmith.com)

Another good one is Pet Solutions at:

Big al's is great (cheap deals, carries EVERYTHING!) but I've found that whenever I order from them, they usually take the full 7 days for the standard ground delivery, whereas Drs Foster and Smith usually sends me my stuff by 4 days or so.
...but if you have the patience to wait 7 days, there is nothing wrong with big als. And I'm sure they dont delay that long for EVERYONE, it must just be the area I live in. :confused:

Well Drs. F & S is from Wisconsin but the go through Boise, ID before coming to Indiania, Ohio, and Michigan finally....so I find that 4 or so days is an excellant wait considering how far most of the packages go! LOL :D
And where is Big Al's located?
