Tang Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hey Guys (Fyi) Just made an order from kensfish.com, and Ken told me they were just in the process of bringing in this line of foods Tang :ml: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks for the heads up, Tang. Due to petsolutions shipping policy to Canada (nothing goes Lettermail Air), Ken's should be much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannabel Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but I stumbled across it not long ago. My apologies if it has been mentioned already. They are a Calgary company. http://hcsaquariums.com/Services/Products/NewLife.aspx Shannon S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 That company may find themselves getting into some doo-doo if they don't clean that web site up. Pablo told me himself that he has no idea who those people are, and that they do not carry his food, nor do they have distributor rights for his food.

RD. Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 BTW - the only company I know about that Pablo has spoke with about being a distributor for his food in Canada, is me. It may happen yet, stay tuned ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tang Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hello RD Just so were are real clear here, what I offered in my post, was a suggestion of a possible supplier for this brand of food. I had recently made an order from Kensfish, at which time I had requested another of Ken's food products as part of my order. But Ken advised me he was dropping one of his currant lines of food in favour of the New Life Spectrum Line. At no time did I suggest KensFish was a Canadian Distributer of this product. Only that he would soon have it availible as mentioned on his web page. For the record I have made a number of orders from this company, and even with exchange and shipping I have found it to be a very cost effective, and very reliable company to deal with. Competition Bites Eh!! Tang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannabel Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Tang if I am not mistaken I think they were talking about the website that I had provided. Unless I am reading wrong which is a possibility!! :bang1: Shannon S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tang Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 OOP's Maybe I did read it wrong, and I apoligize if that is the case RD Tang :ml: :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) Uh, yeah, my response was to Shannon. Pablo just happened to mention that company when he called last week. I told him I had no idea who they were, but that I had seen them mentioning his company and referring to themselves as the official "Canadian Distributor". They must have just dreamed it?

Cap'n Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 If there is the possibility of a group NLS food order count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 FYI - Ken's now has NLS in stock ...... http://www.kensfish.com/fishforsale.html With his lower prices, and lower shipping, this should put a serious dent in the orders from petsolutions. (at least from Canada) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 How much would shipping for on a couple bottles of NLS from kensfish.com? Too late for me this time but it would be good to know for next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Val - if you go to Ken's site, and click through as though you were placing an order, you will get a total 'before' you have to pay, so you'll know the exact fee in advance. Here's what I get on a single 300 gr container of NLS Cichlid Formula. Order Subtotal: $11.53 S Shipping: $13.25 US Postal Service International Parcel Post (Air mail) [CA T4N0S5] Shipping: $13.25 Grand Total: $24.78 The problem is this ......... just like petsolutions, Ken either doesn't understand how the USPS works, or refuses to ship parcels under 4 pounds via Airmail Letter Post In 2002 the USPS changed Small Packet, to Letter Post, and many people (including some of the USPS employees) were confused by the name change. I deal in online sales for a living so I was aware of the confusion this might cause, and it has. On my last order from Petsolutions they were quoting Surface Parcel Post ($15.25), when they should have been quoting Airmail Letter Post. ($3.70) Airmail Letter Post costs approx $3.70-$5.70, but there are of course size & weight restrictions. FYI ..... Air Mail Letter Post allows parcels up to 4 pounds, with the following dimensions: Max. length 24", Max. length, height, depth combined 36" The shipping rates from the US to Canada are all the same (no matter where in Canada you live) and the fees applied can be calculated here: http://ircalc.usps.gov/weight.asp?err=badc...inue&Contents=1 The bottom line is, the savings from Ken's won't be nearly as much as I had expected. I'm going to send Ken an email & see what the deal is. I'll post back when I get word from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
