Clams Direct Group Buy COMPLETED

[BIGBIRD123]

We will be doing a Group Buy this week to be delivered to Critter Shop in San Marcos on Sat. Clams Direct site is closed for now but tonight when Barry gets home, he will send me a link to open up the site so we get 24 hr preview and purchase ability before he re-opens the site. I will post the link here.

So, Steve, you will be the limiting factor.............will you be up late enough to post the link?
Not sure if I will buy anything, if I do I will have to have it shipped seperately to me in Corpus.

[jroescher]

We should have booked him an earlier flight.

Any guess as to how long it will take him to drive home from the airport?

[beareef19]

from the airport to his house is about 10 min after he gets his luggage if I'm not mistaken.
Barry

[cpreefguy]

Depending on traffic and if he stops on the way home for dinner.
Could be anywhere from 10-32.8 minutes

[Gseclipse02]

if theres enough people can we have a pick up spot in SA ??? san marcos is an hour and a half away from me... was jw thanks ....

[cpreefguy]

^ Where in SA do you live? Takes me 30min to get from SM to SA

[subsailor]

The plan is to have it shipped to San Marcos so it is in between San Antonio and Austin. There will be someone comming down from SA to pick up clams and I am sure you can talk to them about bringing one back.

[Gseclipse02]

Hey BB, check the Clams Direct sponsor forum. He said Monday or Tuesday

[chark]

Wow. Still not here. I am glad I went to bed early.

[BIGBIRD123]

I saw it...

S

[subsailor]

I think this is the most I have watched a topic lately. I just saw Big Bird post and thought it might be the link and got excited LOL.

[cpreefguy]

I'm trying to decide... Clams... Dwarf Angel.... or try both?!?

Sorry if I fooled a few people with this bump lol :D

[alton]

This is starting to sound like a bunch of Christmas shoppers standing in front of Target the day after Thanksgiving at 5am saying Open, Open, Open.

[subsailor]

I'm trying to decide... Clams... Dwarf Angel.... or try both?!?

Sorry if I fooled a few people with this bump lol :D

Dang you and your premature bump! :bigsmile:

[cpreefguy]

Yeah :)

[BIGBIRD123]

Just got off the phone with Barry and should have the link in about an hour. We need to get 10 clams for the free shipping or the shipping ($50) will be divided by the amount of clams not the amount of people. The cut-off for ordering and our previewing will be 8 pm CST on Wednesday night. see ya soon....


S

[BIGBIRD123]

When you place an order be sure to mark it "MAAST ORDER". Once the order is placed, it will ship for this Saturday delivery. The order will be delivered to The Critter Shop in San Marcos and individuals may got get your order or one person can go get all Austin Clams and one from SA. The clams will be floated and not acclimated for your convenience. Please make your orders as soon as possible, so we can see if we get FREE shipping (10 clams).


Here is the temporary link.

Nice squamosa. I wanted it but figured with only 10" of water in the tank I'd come home to a fried light one day lol

[Captain Jack]

so I missed the rush, but put my order in for 1 clam. Also ordered new lights, so hopefully those come in about the same time ;)

So is someone from SA heading down saturday that can pick up?

[BIGBIRD123]

I will pick-up clams for SA. I will meet everyone at B&B. I will post the exact time as soon as I know when they will arrive. This the only place I will meet, unless you got gas money.

Steve

[beareef19]

Hey Subsailer are you sure you got that one because that is the one I ordered and my invoice says SKU 5196 C-401 double check. I think you got C-41
Thanks
Barry

[subsailor]

oh snap I guess you are right I dunno if i clicked on the wrong one or what oh well thats ok.

[princer7]

Anyone from Austin with clams going to The Critter Shop for pickup?

I am not sure what time the order will be in or what their store hours are.

[BIGBIRD123]

Someone from Austin needs to volunteer, so we know who to contact when they arrive.

Steve

[chark]

I was planning on picking up the clams from The Critter Shop. I thought everyone was going to pick them up. I will be glad to help where I can. Will it be AM or PM? Let me know. 512-826-1501

[BIGBIRD123]

Cecil,
If you can be the liason for the Austin order, it would help greatly. That way you could pick them up and maybe meet everyone at say Rivercity or somewhere convenient. I will be picking up the SA order and meeting at B&B.

I just got off the phone with Barry and he will send me a tracking # tomorrow, so that we can approximate arrival. Everyone in SA needs to PM your phone number to me if you think I don't have it, so I can let you know when I leave San Marcos in my return. I don't have a problem doing this but need everyone's cooperation to make this go smooth. Thanks for you cooperation in advance.

Steve

[jroescher]

Please leave mine in San Marcos. I live nearby and will pick it up there as soon as I know it's available.

[subsailor]

for those of you picking up at the critter shop

I will be happy to coordinate for the Austin order. All from Austin who want me to pick theirs up let me know. PM or email would be good.

[BarryN]

Your tracking number is: 7971 2828 6410, FedEx Priority Overnight to be delivered to The Critter Shop at 360 S.LBJ Dr. San Marcos, Tx 78666.

There will be two bags with D-103 (derasa) because they are just alike in size and color. Dr. Mark will be shipped to him.

After each person picks up there order, we would recommend that you open the bags up and float in your tank or sump to stabilize the temp prior to water acclimation. There will also be a recommended acclimation sheet with each order. All bags will be marked with the clam ID.

I know these awesome critters will be going to some good home. :)

[DrMark]

Thanks Barry. Look forward to it.
Sorry it was just me. I was hoping there would be more interest from the guys in Corpus.

[BarryN]

Have received a few emails regarding the "completed order" form that show the shipping charge. Disregard that, we manually runs the CC's and nothing was charged for shipping. A copy of your CC receipts will be with the order going out tonight.

Regards,

Sherry

[chark]

Thanks Barry, I can't wait to get those beauty's in my aquarium.

[princer7]

Looks like the package should arrive by noon tomorrow. I should be able to pick up the clams I ordered.

chark, if you would like me to get them as far as South Austin, I can meet up with you on the way back from San Marcos.

[BIGBIRD123]

Clams will arrive about 9:30 am. I will be there to pick-up SA order and make sure Austin order is all there. I will meet at B&B at 11:00 am. Please be there. If you want my cell #, send PM.

Steve

[BIGBIRD123]
