I've never bought any livestock on line before. Aquacon.com had a couple of things I'd never seen retail so I placed an order with them. That was Wednesday morning at 6:00am. I followed up with an email to get an estimated shipping date etc. The phone number listed simply tells you they don't answer the phone and to send an email. I sent another email today and have yet to hear from them at all. Anyone eer dealt with this co. before?
Anyone ever buy from Aquacon.com?

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about AC..
The owner(name escapes me right now) is rather nice though.. I talked to him on the phone for about a hour one day about eels..

If it's the place near Ft. Lauderdale, then I sure hope they've improved.
I got several fish and corals from Aquacon located near Ft. Lauderdale way back in 2003. They had such awful customer service, advice, and packing (I went to their store in person), that I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint against them. :yuk: Everything died.
Good luck!

I've left 4 messages on the answering machine and sent 4 emails as well. I've heard nothing in 2 days from them and no shipment confirmation. If I don't have one from FEDEX by 8:00pm tonight, I guess all I can do is call my bank and start working to get my money back.
And, yes, it's the one in Ft. Lauderdale.

THAT BLOWS bro, everytime this subject comes up about buying online i hear just buy it from a local store, spend a few extra bucks. i don't have a problem with buying local and from sponsers, but they don't have what i want, well just tell them what you want, don't think it's that easy. i want hermits that i can actually see 
with the naked eye. i want JADE hermits, pretty green ones, i want five peppermint shrimps for 20 bucks, sorry got a little carried away there. :doh: granted the shipping is high but they have what i want. i've had good luck with saltwaterfish.com. hate to advertise for them, could a local shop get a large order together and profit from it at the same time for the club and get some things we want.

Yep. I got bit by the "never even seen this being sold before" bug. Think I got it resolved through my bank just a minute ago.
I've never heard anything good about them. Sometimes it's good to just google the online stores name before hitting the buy button. Another red flag is if it labeled "rarely seen" in the hobby it's usually for a reason.
Am I the only one getting the "aquacon" pun?

I've heard that pun many times over the years. The name is really short for Aquatic Connection... but that pun keeps on going around.
