There prices were great so I ordered a bunch for my guys.
I'm always having trouble finding larger shells and not paying an arm and a leg.

Have you already ordered? How was the shipping, customer service, and packaging?

Do keep us informed. I've never heard of this place, but I also don't shell shop too often online. I prefer to, but I can't otherwise I'd go haywire and spend $1k on shells lol.

shipping was $9.
My total came to $32 for 39 medium and large shells.
Less than $1 for shells of that size is a BARGAIN.

I found one place cheaper but you had to buy everything in lots of 10.

I'll let you know how they are when they arrive.

ooh, cool! i need to go check that out...

The shells came and I'm VERY happy with the purchase.
They weren't packaged as carefully as I would have wanted...all shells were grouped together in one bag, but the two bags in the box were carefully padded up with newspaper.
One shell was a bit chipped, but other than that, perfect.

The banded Turbos at $1.50 a pop are just a BARGAIN all around

And these green turbos as well for 95 cents each

I'll definitely order more down the line.

I placed an order last night. I'll give a full report as soon as they are delivered, but I ended up with 24+ shells including a jumbo turbo for less than $27, thats including the shipping/handling!!!
Thanks 2crabby for the referral!!!

My order arrived today & I am so excited!!!! I ended up with 36 usable, perfect shells, mostly for my E's because they desperately needed some. But I also got a couple of nice med/lg polished turbos...but, my most prized possession would be the jumbo banded turbo that I got for my large PP, I love this shell!!!!
I did have a few that had small holes or cracks that I cant use, but I still think, 36 usable shells out of 40 is a great deal.

I still have my invoice if anyone wants to know what I paid for which shell, just let me know. Over all, I am very happy with my purchase, quality & value.

***update***
My large "Talon" already moved into the jumbo turbo!!!! The very first night in the tank & he took it, I guess he likes it cause he's had it on all day!! I'll try to get pics later

JeriC what kind and how much is the one in the bottom pic. I need to buy some large ones for my jumbos and that one is gorgeous! I want it sooooo bad *drools*

Oh and props to 2crabby...

THIS SITE ROCKS!! PLEASE PUT IT IN THE LINKS SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT!

The bottom one is a pearl banded green jade turbo. Notice the jade part. PPs love the jade turbos over the regular green turbos, I've found. But I'm not sure on this site that he mentioned, but normally those shells run about $12.50 for that size.

JeriC · Post by **JeriC** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:50 pm

I got that shell for $8.00!!!! I was very excited when I saw how gorgeous it was in "real life".
I am actually getting ready to make another order, they have a pearly turbo thats just a bit smaller than the green one for $6.
Talon is still in the green one, but its just a little too big for him so I'm going to try the pearly one & see if he likes it any better.

Just 8 dollars

That settles it I'm ordering tonight! This is awesome.
