We here at Reef Builders prefer to post just about the sunny side of the marine aquarium industry but once in a while we take exception to this rule in order to keep businesses on their toes. This is the hilarious tale of one such company trying to pull a fast one on an unassuming consumer but in this case, the perp was trying get one over on the Matt Wandell. At 6’8″, the tobacco-chewing-lumberjack of a man they call Matt Wandell was disappointed when the $130 spikefin goby he just received arrived DOA. No worries because the vendor of the fish has a live arrival guarantee and certainly they would honor their own policies. Alas, the vendor informed Matt that the fish would not be covered due to its high price. When the purchase page was revisited indeed the live arrival guarantee had been revoked but something about the note was fishy. Using his awesome sleuthing powers, Mr. Wandell let loose a big old can of google cache and demonstrated that the webpage had been altered after the purchase of the fish and that this vendor was deliberately trying to defraud him. As if pictorial evidence wasn’t enough, the company refused to confess it’s sins and proceeded to further denigrate themselves in this thread. Note to the wise, reefers are smarter than you think but Matt Wandell will smack, you, down.
