I have had at least two people directly report to me that they have yet to receive paid orders they placed with this individual many months ago.

Buyer beware...

[NjOyRiD]

oh really..

hey big daddy, would you know a palce similar as his that i can get plants? thanx

[yellowtang]

I requested some information on some plants I wanted to purhase from him.....but never got back to me.......even after numerous request also left about 4 messages on his machine
in 1 week spand to No avail........
So, just wondering how interested in doing business he is with some of us.
P.s What kind of plants are you looking for Njoyride?

[Sue]

Seconding Big daddy's warning. I'd highly recommend cash on delivery purchases only.

[luvfishies]

That looks suspiciously like a form letter. There's nothing personal about it at all, and it doesn't address ANYthing.

[NjOyRiD]

heres another one:

Thank you very much for your vote of support.  You may place an order any
time.   If you live in Ottawa hopefully you can come visit.  The problem is
that I have a strange work schedule and I end up doing contracts when most
people have their free time.

I am a bit confused however (I must admit) in that I did not know I had
gone anywhere.  I have been at the same address and phone number for about
the last five years.  Perhaps I should do more to promote myself locally.
I do admit t hat I loose track of things from time to time  -I think it
comes with age.

At any rate thank you for getting back to me and hopefully we can meet in
person.

He doensn't sound like a serious aquarist or business person to me.

[Poustic]

I went to his place once, about 2 years ago.  It's a basement-type business... and from what I understand, his main line of business is supplying imported plants for a few Canadian stores.  He's a very nice, polite guy, but did seem rather disorganized at the time.  Oh, and his dog peed on my gf's foot.   :roll:

[Iceman]

I got an email as well. It was the same generic one as NjOyRiD got.

[Nelson]

....and I just got one.  He must be buying email lists as I've never bought anything from him.

[NjOyRiD]

how old is he?!

Thanks for the feedback (heads up) folks! regarding the Ottawa Aquatics place.  I heard about it and was going to look into going there to see what it's all about.  Definately buyer beware from the sounds of it!

The last e-mail I recieved from them was a photo, with a list of plants from another companies product list???

                  Appreciate the tip everyone!
