I have a godson who is really addicted to shrimp already. Thus it was no surprise he wished for some Tiger and CR shrimp for his birthday. I was under time pressure a bit and ordered the shrimps in a well known online shop, let’s call it Doo-minus, on Friday may 14th. I was confident that the shrimps would be shipped within the next week and that my present would be there right in time. Anyhow, Doo-minus is cooperating with a said so reputable German reseller and breeder.
Well, the support team couldn’t help me with any information on the delivery and I waited, waited, waited until I cancelled the order on June 3rd. I am still waiting for a cancellation confirmation which should be done from the breeder! I don’t know how often he checks his mails, but he’s online in a German forum quiet often… So, let’s wait and see; I won’t feel so bitter though. I have bought my shrimps from gambashop.com now and like to thank the owner for a delivery within a day

Hey: 5 days are not enough time to read an email and make a cancellation? Will not order in this orange-green online shop anymore.
Update: 10.06.2010:
Received cancellation confirmation and must not pay the shrimps. Business transaction closed.
Popularity: 6%
a bit off-topic, but maybe not so much.
Where to buy shrimps in EU? I don’t think shops, but something like auctions like wirbellose-auktionshaus or meine-fishboerse (great).
Any suggestions?
I think there is none which covers EU contries. In Germany, many privates sell shrimps via http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-garnele/k0 but this is no real online market platform.
Thanks,
I know, but many sellers are able to send via EU, I will at link.
