    Howdy Y'all,

    I'm looking for some online sites that are reputable for buying items like tester kits,filters etc.

    Any recommendations?
    (i did a quick forum search with no good results)

    Thanks

    Thanx @oscar freak... Yeah,why not support us rather than some overseas company? O.K... I do work @ Pet Stop,but even for me our prices are more than decent and we ship to anywhere... Just ask Rickus if he was happy with our service,prices,quality of fish and packaging ...

    @Vez... Depends on whether its Dry goods or Fish...
    Best with fish is to find your own (trusted...lol) courier... - Dry goods we can ship via post office,insured packages - there it depends on size of package,weight etc.... - best is to PM with what you need and we can organise...

    @azurekoi, it's great that you guys do shipping to other parts of the country. I'll most definitely be making an order for some goodies with you soon (after we've moved... end June) Is Petstop not thinking of opening a branch in Cape Town?

    I'm all excited now! Can't wait too hear more of these future plans! Ask Moolis to consider the Northern Subarbs... Southern Subarbs has enough pet shops as it is :D

    You guys are joking right? ALL the decent LFS's are in Northern Suburbs! Theres only one reasonably decent Southern Suburbs one I can think of?

    I have an idea! According to google maps, Claremont is 30 km from Durbanville. If you get in your car and drive to the one where you're not, the trip should take you all of 30 mins, if you drive like a granny.

    Are you guys serious? I drive further than that for lunch! Unless I've got it all wrong and Cape Town kilometres are longer than Joburg kilometres :rofl:

    You make me laugh. Rather open a Pet Stop in JHB.

    @Jenn.... I drive a lot further than 30km's for this passion! Quite often I will be darting between several LFS's or local breeders/suppliers, to the point were practically my entire day is taken up by it!

    I guess its down to what I'm looking for, and how/where I can get it, and how much I want it!?! Oo-er!!

    The number of times I've been upto Bellville/Durbanville/Strand/Somerset West for this hobby would strike fear into the average Capetonian!

    As for 30mins to get there, not likely! Traffic ALWAYS gets in the way, as no matter what way you go, you still have to go through the same few junctions to get to 'the other side' of the Boerewors curtain!!

    Regards
    G!
