Are Reptile Direct and Fluker Farms Connected?

ekpunobi Dec 09, 2003 09:35 AM

I ordered rep-cal pellets from Reptile Direct the other day. I also ordered 500 supers. I got the supers today, but the shipping label said they were from Fluker Farms? I had no idea they did business with Fluker's or I wouldn't have ordered the worms from them. Does the connection go deeper than just having fluker drop ship for them?

I did not know that either. Never would buy live feeders there though cause of the price. I think they probably order live feeders from other places. Their main products are supplies and that kind of stuff. I would not think they would breed feeders there as well. Most supply stores that offer feeders buy from the place that is willing to offer them the cheapest prices for their business. Best bet is to go with a reptile food breeder like reptilefood.com or grooms.com so you know where the order is coming from every time, and it is quite a bit cheaper taking out the middle man even though reptile direct has pretty good prices.

I placed an order a few weeks ago with Reptile Direct. I bought some supplies and some crickets. The supplies came fine, the crickets came dead, and about a week late. I also remember seeing Fluker Farms on the address label. I will never get feeders from them again. I am still fighting with him to get my money back. I had them send it to my work, but they sent it to my home (I had my home address on file there from another order), so they are saying that the guarantee is null and void seeing as I wasn't there to sign for it (I was at work where it should have gone!) Anyways, my receipt even has my work address. Don't get me started......
