OK, I meant Foster and Smith:wall::wall:
Taking pain pills for a recent surgery!
I have to pass this on to everyone!
A few weeks ago I was prepping to set up a 55 gallon. I ordered 4 bags of Eco-complete, one bag of Black Tahitian Moon sand along with a bunch of other stuff. The order arrived in 3 boxes, 1 big box contained various with the black moon sand, second box was a factory sealed box of Eco-complete, third box, again factory sealed, contained live reef sand, What the hec! The boxes invoice said Eco-complete. I called them, spoke to a very pleasant lady. Yes they sure did mess the order up, they would immediately ship me 2 bags of Ec-complete. I said this will hold me up and I need to get the tank setup. She talked to a supervisor came back said they would airfreight ($106)the bags! Also I could keep the live reef sand ($27 a bag) as it would cost to much to ship it back! Of course, no charge. I sold the live reef sand for $20, got the Ec-complete in 2 days and setup the tank.
Sooner or later mistakes will happen, it's what happens to correct them that counts. I was impressed! I will go back,I just made another order to them the other day.

Hey Looks like you cleared up that you meant drsfostersmith in your first sentence. I love Drsfostersmith.com I have been ordering from them for years and they are very helpful. They have great prices on most stuff they sell! I have been very happy with them as well.
 
Yah, I just talked to them today about an AC500 replacement motor that arrived damaged. The lady thanked me for being so nice about it. I was like, no, thank you for sending me a return label and new motor at the same time. I've tried other places, but drsfosterandsmith has the best service and most of the time the best prices.
 
I've had 2 similar experiences. Back when CD burners were new, I ordered one from an internet company, but received 2. I let them know, and they just to keep it. I then sold it on ebay for $150.

My second experience I bought a compact flourescent fixtureincluding 6, 96 watt bulbs. They accidently sent me 6 65 watt bulbs. They said to keep the bulbs and they would send me the correct ones. I sold the 6 incorrect bulbs on ebay for about $70 if I remember correctly.

Set the tank up before the last surgery, which is the second one in 2 months on my elbow.

Good to go
