Anyone ever use this site?
http://getyourpods.com/pods/
I'm thinking of getting the 1200 bogo pack. Just wanted to see if there where any negative reviews first.

Never used them but let us know how it goes, I may need some pods in the next several months

Bucknutz · « **Reply #2 on:** February 04, 2014, 22:10:49 »

I could get some pods as well. Possibly a group buy with them? I emailed this same place about the swap and never got a reply.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 04, 2014, 22:13:38 »

I emailed them to see about shipping in these temps. See where it goes from there.

Sounds like a plan.

If you guys order, can you count me in for a few of their porcelain crabs?

Never received a response from my email. I am going to call and see if I can speak with someone.

I've used reef2reef in the past - prices seem a little better than what the vendor you have listed is offering them for.... a lot of their packs offer free shipping too... JMO

Bucknutz · « **Reply #8 on:** February 05, 2014, 17:15:03 »

I've used Reef2Reef as well for pods.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 05, 2014, 17:24:31 »

Guess I'm going to have to go with one of those 2. No one picked up when I called. Let a message, no return. Reefs2go is out of stock on their 1000 bogo packs. So they're out. Not sure where to go?

How many you want? I'm going to place an order tomorrow. They returned my email today. Going to wait and see his it goes before we try and do anything with the company. I'm going to order 2400 pods and some cerith snails.

Westeri · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2014, 18:17:54 »

Doesnt reef cleaners sell pods? I think indo pacific sea farms sells amphipods.

andys1982 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2014, 18:54:26 »

3 sounds good. Looks like they're buy 2 get 1 free! I bought one of these a couple weeks back for $17 from a local fish store that religiously sells things dirt cheap (giant corporate PS), and have seen them at a couple of other places for $20+. These guys are selling 3 for $10 is pretty crazy. Seems like anyone with BTAs should have a couple of these little guys, they're super cool.

andys1982 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2014, 18:57:04 »

Well I guess the price remains to be seen. Let me know what the shipping's looking like. Thanks.

Travis8896 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2014, 19:01:20 »

Hey Joe I'll take 2 porcelain crabs if your ordering.

andys1982 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2014, 19:07:58 »

My would like a set of crabs too please. Up my order to 4 if you would please.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2014, 19:24:40 »

I can add them to the order. You guys would have to come here and pick them up. Andy, you may be able to meet up with Travis in Wapak. Save you some miles. If this is good with everyone, I will order them tomorrow. I will keep you posted on their arrival.

You want in? I'll have to charge you double.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2014, 22:16:15 »

I am ordering 2400 pods for $39.99
Travis wants 2 porcelain crabs for $9.98
Andy want 4 crabs for $18.96
That puts us at free shipping. If anyone else wants in. Maybe want to meet Andy in Lima?

andys1982 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2014, 22:21:24 »

Yes sir! Thank you much.

Bucknutz · « **Reply #23 on:** February 06, 2014, 07:01:51 »

Don't order me any pods. I need to wait until after the move.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2014, 08:05:16 »

Will be ordering today, anyone else?

Twizted1 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2014, 09:40:48 »

Had to place the order earlier than planned. Order is placed. They wont ship until Monday. So it should be here Wednesday.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 11, 2014, 17:05:50 »

Just received a refund with this note
"Joe we are so sorry inform you that we ran out of porcelain crabs and are refunding you for the six you purchased. We still sent out your pods and they will be there soon and we are still not charging you for a shipping cost due to our error. Sorry!"

Sorry guys. I just found out about 30 min ago.

andys1982 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 11, 2014, 18:18:36 »

Knew that price was fishy. Kind of a joke that they're offering 2 products and 1 is "sold out". Oh well, thanks anyway. Hopefully you have better luck with the pods.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 11, 2014, 21:20:00 »

I agree. I hope the pods turn out ok. The are a sponsor on R2R so I didn't think they would be to bad. Maybe it's just one of those things.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 15, 2014, 13:17:40 »

Well as you may have guessed. They arrived today. Ice cold and smelling bad. Have about 90% dead loss. I don't believe that this is their fault. The date mailed on the box is 2-11-14. Just got them today about 12:50. Was supposed to be 2 day mail. So now we get to test their customer service. Hopefully I don't have to eat the $29.00. I called and sent an email.

What did they do, send livestock via USPS? I really don't count on postal service to make speedy deliveries.

That's what they did. Sent it on Tuesday, 2 day mail. And I got it on Saturday. It only had one heat pack in it. I even asked before I ordered. To see if it was safe to order. He assured me it would be fine.

They are offering to kind of make it right. Still going to cost me.

That is unfortunate.

Travis8896 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 18, 2014, 13:19:24 »

So are you gonna order it?

Twizted1 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 18, 2014, 13:28:49 »

Yea I'm going to try it again. I don't see why I have to pay shipping. But I will.

Travis8896 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 18, 2014, 13:32:47 »

Ya I think they should cover that cost.

good luck I don't have much good to say about them I ordered day after you guys did took 6 days and I paid for 2 day shipping everything seemed alive but people was rude and I wont be dealing with them again I don't like to run people in the ground but after my response from them I don't really care plus no one will pick phone up or answer emails I really have my doubts I had 1600 pods in there maybe a hundred or two at most

I'm hot to far behind you. Told them I'd pay the shipping. Never hear anymore from them. No one on R2R has anything to say about them either. Wish there was a good place to pods.

kframe87 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 24, 2014, 01:14:55 »

With getyourpods I'm kinda on the fence with them. I bought the 1200 bogo. They shipped it out and sent the the confirmation. I paid for next day delivery, two days later they still didn't arrive. I emailed them and told them what was going on and showed them that the tracking info still said they weren't delivered. They told me not to worry about it that Copepods can last up to five days in the bags. Which really wasn't the point, I spent the extra money for the next day delivery! Well 3 days later, so a total of five days they arrived, all dead. I knew they were, before I even opened the box I could smell them. I got ahold of them again and told them the situation and provided pics and without hesitation they said they would ship more out. They did ship more out( so they said) for a two day delivery. Well 2 days later still no Copepods and which i contacted them again! They said they were shipped and I asked for a conformation which they never provided. Another 2 days went by and I got ahold of them, which I was really aggravated and told them I just wanted my money back and they said they couldn't do it because they were already "shipped". After email after email they finally said " well we'll just revert the delivery back to us and you can have your money back"! Which they did refund my money, but I do think they ever sent the second package at all! The second time a friend and I decide to try it again. We thought maybe it was a fluke. So we ordered the same thing with next day delivery. It took 3 days for delivery. We go the package and about a quarter in the first bag was dead and around half In the second bag was dead and only a couple of the snails they sent were alive. They have an awesome deal for Copepods it's just if you can get them when you're suppose to and if they are alive. That was my 2 experiences with get your pods! FYI

I'm not on the fence any longer. I'm done with them. I have emailed them twice sent they sent me the above email. I was willing to pay shipping again, even though I feel I shouldn't have to. And they have not replied at all. So I'm done messing with them.

If anyone know a good reliable source if pods please let me know.
