lmhicks101 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I’m getting texts that coop moved to Kentucky Is there any truth to this or is it a scam? If not then someone should put a big notice out about the scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepere Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Having a warehouse in the middle of the country is a good idea logistically… I never had time issues getting orders from the left coast to Maine…, but I bet they will save money on shipping costs…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwcarlson Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I don't click links in any texts even if I "know" where they're coming from. In other words... if you're going to order something from ACO, just go to the website. I'm guessing the text is legit. But from a self preservation standpoint that's the way I would handle it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emailing customer service is also a good idea too. I got a text today saying brine shrimp eggs were 25% off while supplies last. I sent an email to CS asking if they were being discontinued or something and they wrote back within 15 minutes saying they were just looking to reduce inventory due to warehouse move… I placed an order for that and some more Easy Green, Easy Iron… I think minimum order for free shipping might be lower now with new warehouse. It was only $49.99 minimum order for free shipping today and iirc it was closer to $90.00 the last time I ordered…. But I might not be remembering correctly… Edited May 25 by Pepere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galabar Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The link does seem to be legit, as it forwards to: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/?utm_source=campaign&utm_medium=SMS&utm_campaign=kentucky_shipping_4778148&wtbap=MTMwNDczMDQ1NzA%3D&wtbae=bG1oaWNrczEwMUBhb2wuY29t So, just a link shortener being used to advertise a specific campaign (kentucky move).

AllFishNoBrakes Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I too got the text about the brine shrimp eggs. SMS is a fantastic marketing tool. We use it all the time in our company and see great returns from it vs. other methods. I too am wary of links in general and would personally go straight to the website to cash in on the deal, but SMS is a great tool to get information to the masses in seconds at a preferred cost.
