Post by: zoe (tiggy + pipins mum) on April 07, 2008, 16:56:29 PM
Hi all i havent been about for a while as i still havent got the internet at home,

When i was searching google the other day i came across this website www.seapets.co.uk

I was just wondering if anyone is able to tell me if it is legite? I noticed that all science plan dry cat food is quite cheap so wasnt sure, I didn't order of it as im not sure about the website.

Many thanks

Sorry a little confused by your question........why wouldnt it be legit?

Is it that you dont go on internet much?

There are many online shops selling cat stuff and you often need to look around to see who gives bast deal, not just on items but also P&P.

We have used it once to buy some sea monkeys for my daughter.  Had no problems with it whatsoever

I think Zoe means that as it's much cheaper than from other places are they a legit site. 

 :welcome: back Zoe, I've not used them myself but as they have 'real life' shops to I've no doubt they're legit  :)

I haven't bought online from them but I have visited the store before (I've parked just where you can see the cars in that picture) so I can verify that it really does exist and it is cheap.  They seem to pile it high and sell it cheap - no fancy aisles and all the rest of it, so they probably save money on labour and storage that way.

I was only looking at that site last week. I'm after a new aquarium and ended up on that site ... I wouldn't have any reservations using it. Sorry that doesn't help much  :(

Yes it does most certainly exist  ;D They are based in Martlesham nr. Ipswich and Colchester in Essex,about 3 miles down the road from where I spent most of my childhood; in fact I bought a lot of my supplies from there when I got my first ever cat  :Luv2:. They are reasonably priced for sundries ;), spent about  £20 on two interpet filters for my tanks; but I wouldn't buy their fish again, they are not choosy about who they buy in from. 
Hope that helps  ;D

I cant stand the shop, they never stock enough of anything, one box or bag and the staff claim thats all they have so i havent been for a couple of years.
The rabbit tanks were on the verge of heat stroke last time i did go  :(

I ordered from them and had a nightmare, I ordered 2 place mats and 2 bowls for Milo (wanted Blue Mason Cash ones). I didn't get an email conformation, I had to call them to confirm my order, I asked for next day delivery and it took over a week, when the good arrived there was a bowl missing! When I called they said it was out of stock and would be with me in a week, this was at the beginning of March the bowl finally arrived last week after 4 more phone calls, and 6 weeks later than planned, actually you've reminded me to check my credit card for the delivery refund!

So no I wouldn't shop with them again! Not online anyway
