[organicreefer]

right on paul thanks alot

[organicreefer]

paul,
youve ordered from these guys before i take it?will they let me order just 2 vho's?it seems they will.and shipping is just based on how much you spend?

[Ltspd]

IMO this place is the PA of lights. I have NEVER had a problem with these folks. I give them 2 thumbs and 2 toes up.

[organicreefer]

again thanks!you saved me $55.63

[naser]

see i saved 43 bucks from them. and got my order the next day since there in LA. and im in san diego.

[organicreefer]

they are in la,good,my order should be here in a couple days,cant wait to get the tank going!!!

[golfish]

I ordered 4x55 watt 03 bulbs last week form them, they arrived two days later...I don't really care too much for the 03 bulbs but then it takes a lot to please me

[naser]

i agree with the 03 pc's they suck. i switched to them, then switched back to the blues. now im just going vho instead.

[Bamm Bamm]

I like the look of the o3's but have noticed they don't seem to last very long i think i replace them about every 5-6 months. now..I need to order a new one already just procrastinating..lampsnow has been great though..

[organicreefer]

well,my first exp. with lampsnow is starting off not so great i received confirmation of my order yesterday,and now i just got home,and they are saying they dont have my bulbs they wont have the 175w 10 ks until tuesday,and the vho's wont be in till next friday

[mrok12]

[organicreefer]

so i finally received the last two 10k bulbs on thursday and one is a dud,it stutters,then stabilizes at a dimm level for about 20 seconds and then dies so right away i e-mailed lamps now about the problem,and i have yet to hear from them .have any of you received a bad bulb from lamps now?how did they handle it?to this point ,im unsatisfied with these guy's,it took way too long to get my bulbs,and now this.

[naser]

well they dont make the blbs, they just sell them. i ordered from them i had my vho ballast and bulbs the next day.

[organicreefer]

i dont give a rats a$$ who made it ,they sold it to me,and have so far wasted a day and half not even replying to me,poor customer service imo.its not their fault that it doesnt work,but they should be a little more prompt about it,especially since ive waited so long to begin with.im gonna try and call direct.

[organicreefer]

well i guess they are only there to take calls m-f,but i cant even leave a message,their "mailbox" is full class outfit their running eh i better have word from them by the end of monday,or ill go on a never ending crusade to flame them on every board /newsgroup i can find

[naser]

every fish store online is only open on business days. they can only ship on these days. im sure monday they will take care of it. you dont start a business by screwing people.

[organicreefer]

youre right naser,im sure they will.....................lest they create a lapsnow terrorist(freedom fighter)
im just very near to complete(something thats almost unbeilevable to me at this point, its been such a long process)and i dont want any hold ups.
bottom line,really why i posted, i wanted to hear from someone whos been thru this with them ,and how it was handled.
i want my bulb,like last week ;)
