I also spend most of my money at Big Al's. Not only are their prices hard to beat, but so is their customer service. Great prices are no good if someone's customer service is lacking, IMO.

i had a bit of trouble with Big Als customer service. very slow response time and even lower delivery time (time from order til it gotout the door). so i'm not overyly thrilled butthe prices are tough to beat.
 
I have used Big Als, and Drs. Foster & Smith. The prices between the two seem pretty comparable, but unless something is much less at Big Als, Drs. will get my business. The reason? Shipping. It takes Big Als ~2 weeks to get me my order. Drs. Foster & Smith? ~3-4 days. I guess that it helps that Drs. is in the US, and Big Als is not, but taking 1 week to send my order, and another week to get it here?

you may have a good time there, but they are MUCH more expensive than BigAls...
I just checked them out. they charge $37.99 for a Penguin 170 (obsolete) external power filter. That's a PETCO price! Bigals sells the new version, the 200 for i believe $19.99. That's pretty much half price.

I'd be curious to see what you CAN'T get at BigAls! but anyway, I like your plan here. I think I am going to the DRS from now on too...pay the extra 2-3 dollars to get the items within a week. sigh...

**** canucks!! jkoc!!!! ;)
 
i agree with spikor and wynn..
big als shipping is way slow. maybe because i am in california, but once it took couple weeks to receive my items. true, the prices are tough to beat, but for dry goods i need right away, i rather pay the small extra $$ and hop over to the lfs. thatpetplace and dr foster & smith seem to have much faster shipping than big als..
 
ThePoll's Result Says It All!

The poll definitely has got the answer on this one, people(that are patient) will wait 2 weeks for their order to get to them so that they can pay less.


BigAlsOnline takes it. :thm: :dance: :dance2: :hi:
