Hi Everyone,
I am in the process doing a group order from Kensfish soon. I planned to place the order by late evening of Thursday, July 17. If we have enough participants by then, I'll proceed with the order. Similar to previous orders, here are some simple rules to follow:
- gas money is $25.
- border fee is $6.
- shipping is free if the order is above $75.
- HST of 13% on the entire at the border.
- receiver fee of $5 per box of item. I will calculate the amount for each person based on how much and what type of item(s) each of us ordered.
- all fees and gas will be split proportionally (based on your total) so it's fair for everyone.
- NO DELIVERY. But I will be meeting you all at the parking lot of Home Depot Barrhaven.
- cash only please; no cheques, Paypal, etc...
Ken's website is here:
http://www.kensfish.com/
To avoid confusion/error, please list your item of interest by copying the actual link of the item (as well as the quantity) from the Ken's website and pasted in this thread.

After hearing about Cloram-X from FishBuddy at the last pickup, I might be getting Cloram-X. I was just going to get 1 lb but if anyone else is interested, I can be persuaded to get the 5 or 10 lb and sell it back to you per lb.
If 5 lb is bought, $7.80 per lb or if 10 lb is bought, $6.50 per lb. (During pick up time @ Home Depot)
If 5 lb is bought, $9.80 per lb or if 10 lb is bought, $8.50 per lb. (If I have to deliver to you afterwards)
Let me know by Wednesday (noon).

Or, we can buy the 10lb. If no more people interested, 3 of us can each take 1 more lb each. I can take 1lb, or 2lb, or 3lb.
In addition to Cloram-X, I would like the following items please:

For the Cloram-X, I will order accordingly based on the amount requested so don't worry about calling dibs.
David you can take it. I don't need it as still have a few pound of it left.
Shawn
List updated...
As for Cloramx, I've also indicated the number of lbs that each of you would like... So far, we'll be getting a 5lbs. However, if there's more interest, I will update the list accordingly. I could always get a lbs or 2 for myself to fill the order.
John please fix the quantities of the fish bag. It's x2 not x3. 100 bags. Thanks
Shawn

Roughly 1lb treat over 3500G (121mg/G), and you could overdose it.
Better make it 10 lbs of Cloram-X now.
How much do you want Mike L?
So far 2lb for new_hobby, 2lb for tigger, ? Mike L, and the remainder for Lucius.

Ok folks,
I've just updated the list and I think I've got everyone. Please take a look at the items under your name at the front of the page to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Since I did a cut/paste of your original link, I think I got it done correctly. Whenever possible, I tried to order a larger bulk of the same item to save everyone money. I don't mind doing the splitting/measuring since I have done that in the past and I have an electronic scale at home.

What size of Ken's Golden Pearls do you guys recommend for newly hatched angelfish fry?
I'd like to get in on the fun too...

Ok folks... Order has been placed... Every item is in stock except one (highlight in red)....
If things go well, I'll be picking it up next week and we'll meet on the weekend to have them pick up...

Yeah, a bit late now Shawn. Also, the link doesn't work...
Ok thats fine Thanks John. If your feeding angel fry i recommend the 50-100 micron
Shawn
Lol is it to late to switch my 100-200 golden pearls to 50-100 size?
Thanks for letting me know.
An update on this. Ken shipped the goods today. I am hoping to go to Ogdensburg to pick them up next Wednesday. If so, I'll meet u guys on Saturday probably late afternoon in Barrhaven for pick up.
One other thing which I forgot to mention. When I did the order, there's a link on Kens site which if you 'like' it on Facebook, you'll get an additional 5% off the entire order! Hence, we save about $38 on the order.
Here's what I am going to do.... I am going to use this saving for the gas money as well as the receiver fee (which is $10 for 2 boxes of stuff). Therefore, we all pay less at the end. I hope everyone agrees with it.
im ok with that
More then fair
You are amazing honest. Thanks for organize this order.
Tremendous! Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate all that you have, and will have done. Cheers.
Ok folks... I've went and pick up the stuff today. I am in the process of sorting them out and total up what each of you owes me. I'll pm you with the total soon.
As for pick up, how about this Saturday late afternoon, say at 17:00, at the far corner of the Home Depot (Barrhaven) parking lot along Strandherd Drive? Please be sure to bring exact change as I won't be carrying loose change with me.
Do any of the order participants live in Kanata. I have family commitments and can't make it on Saturday.
Regards Mike
Thanks again FishBuddy!
No problem... Good chatting with you folks today :)
Thanks John. Great conversation with all of you.
Shawn
Thanks again John. It was nice meeting and chatting with you all.
