yeah m8 they are at Browns Plains, ive never had a bad experiemce through them in the past and bought a fair bit, sometimes things do take order time but sounds like a shitfight some are going through though. I will still chase stuff there if and when I need it.

i called and spoke to someone helpful yesterday. he explained that with the takeover they have to reapply to be able to sell certain things, whether thats a vendor approval or just an account with local distributor i dont know.

it sounds like the change over came with a bunch of issues that aren't necessarily their fault.

would i shop there again? yes i would.

Sounds like the new owners have been left with a bit of a mess.
Personally ill give them a few months to sort this out and then ill use them again. This doesnt really help those of you waiting on gear or refunds

Ditto. I'll be looking out for some sort of announcement or news to let me know they're back on track.

Still no replies via email.
So rang them this morning & spoke with Dean, he told me to send though my invoices and what not & that he would sort it for me.
I'm not overly confident considering my track record with them and emails but I guess we'll see how it pans out.

Being left with a mess is an understatement.

Just getting the MASA log in was a trial. A new computer system, new mail order system and thousands of emails and pm's to reread.
We have been working some rather crazy hours to ensure that everyone gets their products or refunds, so we can get a fresh start.
Trying to do the right thing by people has caused unpopular delays, which has caused more phone calls and emails, which has caused more delays :)
But things are coming together.

We are a small team that work hard to get a good range of products into the hobby at the best possible prices.
We try to give back to the community that keeps us in action.

It has been difficult trying to pick up the pieces and fix the problems left. We are used to being bouncy and loved. Its a big change to be taking disappointed calls, especially from people we are trying so hard to help.
Those of you who have met us during this interesting time, will have the advantage of seeing us climb out of the gully.
Things are better every day, and we will re-earn your love.
:)

Finding the hours a day to reply to all the forums has been tricky lately. If you don't receive a prompt reply, please call the shop.
We are happy to help.

TLDR ~> Apologies for interruptions to the awesome. Normal awesome will resume shortly.

AOA crew, if you need any forum tech help send a PM to any of the moderators, we can sort most stuff.
Did you search RTAW Reefpedia B4 asking your question?

Someone I work with made an order earlier in the week and got it a few days later...so service isn't consistently bad :P

I imagine once the backlog of orders and issues are sorted and things run as smoothly as they have in the past people will come around again. Once they're smooth possibly do one of the 20% off store wide sales Ben use to do, that would generate a lot of positive feedback (providing orders run smoothly).

Well after 2 weeks, a couple emails and making several calls, being told it'd be sorted that day. Nothing's happened.
