Well, just got home from my Orlando trip...long day
So, I went to WWC to check it out and talked myself into buying $299+ worth of coral so I can get free shipping before I walked in the door.
I spent a good amount of time trying to find the darn place and even had to call them when I was a block away to verify the location. I walked in and was amazed how normal it looked, nothing terribly special in terms of a building. They had been open for about an hour and had at least 5 guys on staff. One immediately came up to me, handed me the daily sales flyer and stayed within an arms length of me while I browsed in case I had questions. I was pressed for time so I really liked that service today. He was really friendly and I had explained I was in ARC, just flew in for the day and was looking to do some quick shopping for shipping.
I picked out some really nice peices (cyphastrea, chalice...etc..) and was amazed at the price for the size of the frags. A majority of what they had was not on the website at all. All the corals looked amazing to me and about 90% were price marked. I was in the process of picking out more and the guy handed me their in-store shipping policy which I would have to sign off on before they would. It said only $400+ qualifies for free shipping otherwise it was $60. I immediately dissapproved and said "hey man, whats up with this" he said it was the policy and I politely told him to put back my order. He said he would ask the boss man if it was negotiable, he left, came back and said sorry man - thats the minimum. Already a little frustrated from having to find the place and the non-stop Orlando tollroads I said no thanks and browsed a tad more and left.
On the way out he handed me a pen and paper and told me to write down what I wanted and to call back at some point and talk to so and so since the corals I wanted werent online....I left dissapointed but still really impressed with their prices and service...other than the bossman not budging.
Sitting at home now I am kicking myself for not just paying some shipping. But then again I didnt spend a dime which is what my actual budget was..lol
