They have been saying the same thing for at least three years. This is the company that was only shipping a few days a week to consumers, but had that hid on the site - you would pay for two day shipping but your purchase would be held until their shipping days. There are several mentions of bad experiences with them in this thread. They have been a wholesaler selling directly to consumers which has made a lot of people nervous about them.
He also is a part of the BBB and has been in business for over 10 years... maybe longer I cant remember what it said.
When a seller says this it always makes me nervous.
He welcomes corrections to his information and knows about this site so I believe he will start coming around to see whats what. All in all I think from what I have heard and seen so far that it sounds good. I will be ordering from him later today. If that goes well I will let everyone know.
Please do. The last time people on TONMO dealt with him, it wasn't great. And, he was completely uninterested in making changes to his website - the 'BALI ZEBRA MIMIC OCTOPUS CHIERCHIAE' is still there two years later, and the claim of selling tank bred/captive raised/tank raised cuttles are still there despite several members here mentioning the problems with those claims and photos.
FWIW, this seller pokes its head up in reefing communities from time to time and the results have been less than stellar. I hope their operation is all better that it was and that some of their promises actually have meat.
