Title: Possibly Upcoming Kensfish Group Order
Post by: FishBuddy on October 17, 2013, 10:44:55 PM
Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about doing another group order from Kensfish.  Time is tight this time around and I am planning to place the order by late evening of Wednesday, October 23.  If we have enough participants by then, I'll place the order.  Similar to last time, here's some simple rules to follow:

-  gas money is around $20 so we could split the cost.
-  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.
-  NO DELIVERY.  But I am willing to meet at a common place in Nepean to distribute the goods.
-  cash only please.

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.  

So far, we have the following:

The OCA Extra is in a month. Just drive down, say hi to Ken and pick up what you need. Lot's of fun at the show!

Robert, hopefully you have changed your mind and can make it this year...................................... we'll miss you and Winnie and the local shoe and clothing stores will surely find a drop in revenue with Winnie not there  :)
It will be good to get to Ohio once again - I have noticed on the OCA site that they have had to open up more room bookings at the Holiday Inn because they have sold out - hopefully it'll be the best year yet.
And yeah, getting those orders ready for Ken's

Hey Folks,

I've updated the list and have copied all items to the top of the thread to make it easier for everyone to see.  Please make sure you double check to ensure I didn't mess things up.

Also, I've decided to move the order date a couple of days earlier as I would like to go pick up the item on the weekend of Nov 2/3.   The new deadline is now late evening on Wednesday, October 23.  Looks like we have a bit of stuff so far so I think the order is a 'GO' at this point.

You have a few more days to fill your boot :)

Currently, we ordered 2 of these (you and charlie), however there's only one in stock at the moment.  I've emailed Ken to see if he could reserve/obtain another one for us as I don't want you to be disappointed :)

You don't need to pay me up front, just pay me when you pick up the items.  Of course, please don't have me hold your items for a month or things like that as I've got bills to pay :)

The largest item here would be the canister filter but my car should fit all that stuff.  I will get another enjoyment to be questioned by the CBSA at the border...

"......  Sir, let me get this straight, you don't own a fish store/business but you bought all that fish stuff???  Wow!  How long it takes for your fish eat all that food??  And what's this white powder in the square bucket for?"

Really, they are actually very nice people...  Just keep in mind one thing "DON'T LIE !!!"

 Sure wish I waited for the current plus led instead of buting the Marineland led. While I like it and got a great price the current is cheaper and more functional. These are going to take over freshwater lighting I think

And a few of us have already bought the Current LEDs in the last order....  I might eventually get some as well...

Hi John,

I also would like these please: quantity of 1 for each

http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/filter-media/marineland-black-diamond-carbon.html (3.65 liter cost $13.95)
http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/filter-media/ocean-5-media-bag.html (size 8x12 cost $2.05)
http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/filter-media/ocean-5-media-bag.html (size 10x14 cost $2.85)
http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/fish-food-feeders/kens-premium-floating-cichlid-pellets-55-mm.html (1lb cost $4.75)
http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/fish-food-feeders/kens-premium-cichlid-flake.html (1lb cost $9.75)

Do you buy any cloram-x this time? I would like about 2lbs to share. It is cheaper to share a 5lbs ($37) instead of buy 2lb ($22).

     Had to change some of the order.  The plants in med and large are too big so just added the total to 6 in small.  It is in red in the 1st posting.

I've just placed the order.  I've got a bit of bad news for the following participants:

1)  there are no more inline heaters left as someone grab the last one in stock a couple of days ago (sorry charlie and exv152).  I tried contacting Ken but he didn't reply on time.

2)  there are only 2 small plants in stock so I grab the last 2; instead of the 6 that was ordered (flyingpancake). 


Now the waiting begins........

So are we still meeting for the pickup in Barrhaven this Sunday?  I'm asking because the Plantaholics anonymous meeting is the same day.

TIA.
