Fish Food supplier

[BlueOrca]

Hello, I have been buying my koi fish food from Drs Foster and Smith online for years a couple 40lb bags a year (Blackwater) as well as pond breathers etc. Just recently they stopped shipping to Canada and no longer pay to have there site hosted on Canadian servers....so as a Canadian I can`t even look at their website and order something and have it delivered to a U.S. address (which is what I have been doing for years)
I can only assume this is because of Trumpian tariffs etc.....so I am looking for a new online`Koi food source preferably Blackwater or something similar that others here have had good luck with.....

Try calling and asking why you are no longer able to order. It just doesn't make sense to me.

If you're driving across to pick it up anyways, you could order through a VPN.
I use Private Internet Access. It's $3/month.

Webbsonline.com. We feed with a mix of blue ridge and hai feng and get it on line at about 3.80 US on amazon.

I second using a VPN if you plan on picking it up. I use one for international news, BBC etc. It's good if you have no cable.

I emailed them..they responded that they no longer ship to Canada or pay to have their site hosted on Canadian servers.

I thought about masking my address or VPN or adding a ghost type extension to my browser....might be my only option.

I just received my order yesterday from Fosters and Smith (a couple of pond breathers), so this is recent development.

BlueOrca, By the way do you know they are owned by Petco? I wonder if Petco ships to Canada?

I worried when Petco bought Fosters and Smith that their customer service would suffer. I wonder if they're planning on some big changes, hence drastic reductions on some items....such as Pond Breathers?

I actually went to look at their site when I read on here that the pond breathers were super cheap.

I didn't know about the Petco ownership....

I didn't know Petco bought Drs. Foster and Smith either. They've been having some great sales lately. I also bought one of those pond breathers for 17 and change, plus free shipping on $19. They were $79 on Amazon!
