	Petsmart in San Francisco
ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	HI, I had a quick question regarding stores in the US. Can I call them up and place and order using my credit card over the phone and will they deliver locally? I have a friend's mother who will be in the US for only 3 days and I was hoping I could find a local fish store that would deliver fish food to her hotel, is this possible. Are there Big Als stores in San Francisco, CA. I know there are Pet Smarts. Thanks, Clowny

I doubt the PetsMart would actually let you purchase the food over the phone, but they would probably put it on hold so your friend could go to the store and buy it. EDIT: Also, there are no Big Al's Stores in California. Big Al's is a Canadian company, and I believe they only have one or two stores in the US, both in in the east. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	What's a toolie? Also, when they say on their website they will ship 24-48 hours since the order has been placed and it will take upto 4 working days to deliver, on what day latest can it get delivered if I order today?

Give 4 days for delivery, and it would be friday the 29th, latest.

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	If your ordering from the main site online I wonder if they will deliver to hotel rooms? Never thought about trying it but if something goes wrong and the package is delayed the same person would no longer be in the hotel and they might not have any way of finding them. It seems there would be other issues with it so if you find a way to make ordering online work I would double check with the shipping company first.

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	They have a lot of branches in San Francisco and if there's one really close to her hotel, I think I can impose this upon her, but not otherwise, since it's really more like a favour She is leaving the US on the 29th of September so I am freaking out about whether she will get the package or not. If not, I guess, some FP fellow will just have fish rejoicing over all the food that I order wonders whether to order or not

We could work out some sort of payment i'm sure. Send me a PM if your friend's mum doesnt end up getting any for you. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I am sure the food will be no good by then. "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."
