I haven’t heard of them, but I’m definitely following! If this website is credible, I would definitely buy from them! Free shipping EVERYWHERE? That cannot be beaten.

Are they French.....Recif translates to Reef....Reef At Aquarium.

Ahhhh okay that makes more sense.

But it does look like they are based in the US based on their phone number and seems to let you check out with a US address.

I have absolutely no idea but, out of curiosity, did a search...
The results (that I found), look pretty BAD.
*I'd suggest at least doing a lot more personal investigation before even consider it

Never heard of them but the site looks a little bit sus... their social links don't work, "free shipping nation wide" but they don't say where they are located. Their "where are you located" doesn't answer the question and says just "global" and the verbiage seems a littttttle bit off. LIke they used all the buzzwords and google translate. Their number listed on their site is a VOIP number so not traceable and is what a lot of scammers use.

The checkout page is a little strange too - and payment is PayPal, Bank Transfer, or Bitcoin.... all a little bit suspicious to me. I don't even see a page to enter billing info. It doesn't say "secured" with PayPal or Stripe or Shopify so it is a little questionable in that. Their about us page also has weird wording like "We offer plants grown in USA and verified by the Agricultural Department as safe for the aquarium. "

I would avoid - seems like a scam to me

Yes thats what I was thinking too. I emailed them specifically cause they said not to email about livestock to see what kind of response I got. Their prices are AMAZING. You know the old saying: if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

Right? Thats why I had to ask in the very slim chance they were ligit. But I dont think they are, theres no way

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Free shipping on a 30.00 frag would cost them money. And as mentioned PayPal, Bitcoin ect only payment. I would not even try.

Area code 309 covers: Peoria, Bloomington, Moline, Rock Island, Galesburg; west-central Illinois.

Seems like they are located in Illinois, if its a valid land line, and not a VOIP, or Cell.

DONT BUY..

Any company that uses ONVOY, LLC is about 75% a SCAM in my book.

If vetteguy has never heard of it don’t buy from them!!

 

[VintageReefer]

Maybe it’s me but aside from free shipping I really don’t see any prices that are worth the risk.
Yellow tang 350
Mystery wrasse 200
Fairy wrasse 70

This all seems like normal prices to me

Yeah some are but they have a powder blue hybrid for 90, a red sea butterfly for 160, a HQ tusk for 100 ect. So some yes others no. But Im 100% not buying from them lol. I found them searching for a powder blue hybrid tang which I was like 90?? Then looked around and was like dang some good prices on some fish but then others were normal like the ones you pointed out! Just figured I would ask around here to see if someone actually dealt with them!

Lol see thats what I was talking about! Which is why I asked on the 1 and a million chance someone here bought from them and they were legit!! But the responses I got were what I was expecting lol so for me buying from them:

 

[VintageReefer]

PayPal has buyer protection which is super easy if nothing actually ships out
