    If anyone is interested in getting anything from BRS or getting a few snails/crabs to supplement their CUC, I'll be placing orders next week.
    BRS order will be places on Thursday at 2 PM.  Shipping will be split between all that order.  Also, most items will be about 10% less than the prices listed on their site.  Order will be shipped to me and participants will be responsible to pickup from me.
    The snail/crab order will go in at Noon on Monday, June 6th (so just a few days to get orders in!). 
    As for snails, prices are as follows:
    Small Cerith - $.45
    Large Cerith - $.60 (if buying ceriths, I recommend large - they are much larger)
    Astrea - $.75
    Tonga Nassarius - $1.50
    Mexican Turbo (large snail) - $2.60
    Small Blue Leg Hermit - $.60
    Small Red Leg Hermit - $.75
    Emerald Crab - $6.00
    Scarlet Leg Hermit - $6.00
    Purchased locally, you would likely pay up to 3 times the listed prices (i.e. Astrea snails are usually $1.99, as are small red or blue leg hermits).  These price could end up being lower depending on the total volume purchased by all participants.  Pickup will be on the tank tour 6/11.  Alternative pickup times can be arranged.  If you don't get what you ordered or your items are DOA, you don't pay, simple as that.  No messing with credit at an Internet retailer or anything like that.
    Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in participating.

    Not if you're OK with paying separate shipping to ship to your house. If you just want to get in on the discount, then that's fine.

    I order with them probably once a month. Let me know and I can add whatever you need to my next order and we can both save on shipping.

    I'll jump in on the BRS order. Do we just PM you with what we want or how is that handled?

    Go ahead and PM me what you want and I'll send back your total discounted price minus shipping. Shipping will be $3 or less as you are the 3rd party participating so far. The more people that participate, the lower the shipping goes...product prices might also go a bit lower if multiple people are buying the same thing and it brings the quantity to the next discount level.
