Buying plants from Ebay Aquadise-Store

I'm thinking about ordering from them--but through their website. There's no free shipping, but the prices are almost $1 less per item, and shipping is 4.95 priority with live guarantee.

Java moss--3.99 ebay, 1.99 website. Spiral Val--2.99 ebay, 1.99 website. Java fern narrow-4.74 ebay, 2.99 website.

The only thing that bothers me is that the website doesn't say how large the plants are, but ebay does. I'm guessing it's the same, but can't be certain.
 
I have ordered from them 4 times and you can't beat the free shipping. The plants arrived between 5-7 days after ordering - I'm in NY.

However, the plants were small with the exception of lace java fern, that was a decent clump. I ordered some kind a val and it arrived in poor condition but for $3 I didn't bother contacting them.

I just placed a large order with aquariumgarden.com I paid only $11 shipping and I was very happy with my purchase. Larger plants and a nice variety. They also through in a free plant. I figured I should make a large purchase before it gets cold outside.

It's so hard to find nice plants locally!

I get some very healthy nice looking hornwort from a lake for free. just needs a good cleaning which isn't too hard. there are some other nice plants in the lake too that i haven't been able to identify.
 
aquariumgarden is great but has a higher price. my ten gallon is fully planted by them with no complaints.
 
im about to ask that question too,thank
wel im in the same state with one of the store so i think the plants will be fine for me.

i hope everyting alive
 
Aquadise-Store owe me money and plants since Jan. 2007, so far - no plant, no refund !

I sent him a friendly reminder on Monday, I haven't heard a word from him.
Totally not happy!!
 
I have and do buy plants from them.
There plants always arrive in good shape and they give you some extra stuff every time. They don't really have that great of a selection for me but they have some cool stem plants.
Be aware there plants do usually come with some form of hair algae or staghorn on them even in minute amounts can still introduce into your tank. I always bleach or h2o2 dip there plants before putting in my tanks.
 
I decided to buy a package of plants from Acuadise for 29 bucks. Incredible number plants. Alas , due to a crummy server, dial up ISP, a couple of forgotton account passwords and 'Murphy's law ' stuff , I was unable to complete the deal.
Bummer. Have not found any other site that compares in price.
 
well well i see that there is a certain amount of displeased and pleased consumers of aquadise and so i put in an order for one plant too see what i get and the extra mystery plant ohh, so i will see and i will post results here, the plant is a sword plant and i forget which one i bought, but as you browse the aquadise store you see alot of beautiful plants that would draw an unknowing consumer to purchase tons of these plants, so lets hope that they are a pretty reputable buisiness, and if everything turns out great i will reorder more plants, happy fishin..><}}}">
 
I have had good and bad experiences with them. From what I've been hearing, apparently the original owner has sold the store, regrettably. In the past, I had always gotten either what was specified, or something that was remarkably close (at least, to create the desired effect).

Of this last time:

1 ea. DWARF SAGS NOT PRESENT
1 ea. ECHINO CORD NOT PRESENT
1 ea. ECHINO TENELLUS NOT PRESENT
1 ea. GYMNOCORONIS PRESENT, HEALTHY
1 ea. HYGRO COMPACT PRESENT, DECENT
1 ea. SAURURUS CERNUUS PRESENT, HEALTHY

1. ea unid sword (unable to identify conclusively so far, in decent to good health. Bounced back quick).

Unstead of the dwarf sag, they replaced with, yes you guessed it: Ophiopogon japonicus, or as the more common name is known, Mondo grass. Good luck growing that submersed! There was also an unidentified ground cover, but it was literally mush - there was nothing living about it.

To their credit, when I contacted them same day, they refunded me same day, with no questions about it, and I did not need to provide a picture.

Wrong plants, but I was refunded for those missing. Good? No - enough to make me very leery of ordering from them again. And, I believe this to have been the first time since when I believe the store to have been sold.
