I'm not affiliated with either of the two US ADA distributers. I'll help if I can though. Did you get it from AFA or ADG? You got it from AFA, right? ADG's site says that they are out of stock on the 9 liter bags of Amazonia and AFA has it in stock. I believe that the new version of Amazonia isn't in stock at either of the two distributors.

Below is what I know from the link that I posted above. It is in the first post. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/...group/77122-ada-prices-new-aqua-soil-new.html

ADG is the only one of the two US distributors that has the following offer on pre-orders of out of stock Amazonia and the new version of Amazonia as far as I know. Francis Xavier is at ADG.

Hello!

Back in December we informed the hobby that ADA prices would be increasing on January 1st, however - a breakdown in negotiations over the price has caused an unreasonably long delay in this process - which has ultimately benefited ADA customers in the United States as they've gotten access to the old prices for longer.

The Real Big News

The biggest feedback we've always gotten is that the price of shipping aquasoil is too expensive - we've been asked how we can make a difference in the cost to make it more bearable for the customer.

We've now answered that call and for the first time, have offered an indefinite lower shipping rate on all aquasoil. The aquasoil prices right now should be roughly 50% cheaper than they were yesterday and we would highly encourage you to check this out for yourself by putting a bag of aquasoil in your shopping cart and testing the shipping rates.

We're very excited to offer the cheapest shipping possible in ADA history on Aqua Soil. This is another ADGshop.com / Aquarium Design Group exclusive!

In addition to that, you may notice we have the new, "Amazonia Improved" type aquasoil available, which has replaced Amazonia II and solved many of it's issues with premature crumbling. You will also notice we are out of stock of Amazonia I 9L bags.

Because of this, we've also decided to, for the first time, offer a discount on all pre-order bags of Aquasoil that are currently out of stock.

When is the new container arriving? 4-5 weeks! We will have an official ETA posted as soon as we receive it from ADA itself.

Does this answer your question, cradlefan?

Maybe you can email or call them and get a price match or store credit.

I'm not sure really lol. I am slow I guess. Anyway, I ordered this product: http://www.adgshop.com/Aqua_Soil_Amazonia_p/104-021.htm

It is "New Amazonia." It's "out of stock" it's the pre-order price. By buying it, 10 percent of the price goes to the Tsunami relief...

I ran across those two adds for the same new 9L bag of Amazonia as well. One for $25.99 and one for $29.99. After reading ADG's info on APC, this led me to the cheaper price link.

Maybe ADG will let you cancel your original order and then reorder it at the cheaper price. It isn't in stock yet. You should give them a ring.

Here are the two links with different prices:

new 9L Amazonia @ $25.99: http://www.adgshop.com/Aqua_Soil_Amazonia_II_p/104-020.htm

new 9L Amazonia @ $29.99: http://www.adgshop.com/Aqua_Soil_Amazonia_p/104-021.htm
