the thing about big als... for me at least is i gotta buy there stuff online, so gotta pay shipping, equals out and might as well go to lps
That sucks. Me im lucky that my LFS is a big als AND im only a 15 minute drive away from their warehouse so if they order anything in for you it arrives by the next day.

and most of the employees at the big als are knowledgable. But for whatever reason the ones who are in the dry goods(food filters pumps etc.) section seem to be more knowledgable than ones in the livestock section lol.
 
Hmm, big als might be nice in the US, but they shaft us in canada. I was looking for a pump to use in my sump here's what I saw in my research.

Quiet One 9000 - buying at Big Als Canada Online: 315.99$
Quiet One 9000 - buying at Big Als USA Online: 158.39$

Considering the dollar is near par. Where the logic in this pricing?

So needless to say. I buy my stuff in the US, get it shipped to a mail box on the US border. And just pick it up there.
 
That same Whisper 20 you talked about in the first post is now on sale at my local Petsmart for $10.99 with no shipping. :)
 
I always use Big Al's. It seems that more people here shop on Dr Foster & Smith, but I feel that Big Al's has better deals and it's free shipping for purchases over $75 (depending on weight):)
 
the penguin 350 is 14 dollars after mail in rebate on big alls in petsmart I just whent it was like 40 thats a big difference. even if you dont rebate its still 24 dollars.

is big als safe to buy from/ cause I kinda wanna

I shop there many times. It's safe. Never had an issue with them.
