    Inquiry - The bean farm

    I need a thermostat ASAP and was wondering how people feel about the bean farm. Processing times, shipping, how's their in-stock?

    Thanks!

    I've ordered a few times from them. Because they are on the west coast, the shipping is longer than ordering from Reptile Basics for me.

    I wouldn't deal with them. When we first got started, we inquired with them about some things. Did not care for their customer service one bit. Go to Reptile Basics, Rich is great and he will get your stuff out ASAP. Also Spyder Robotics is great if its a Herpstat you are looking for.

    agreed on both counts. the only problem right now is that people have realized en masse how great spyder robotics is, and I believe almost every thermostat model they sell is on back order at the moment. if the op is in a rush, RBI will probably have the quickest turnaround time, and VE makes a good product as well.

    I've been doing business with The Bean Farm for over 10 years now, and they've always treated me like gold. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again!

    I've dealt with them many times in the past, the first time was at least 20 years ago. They've been in the business for longer then any of the other on line stores and have a good track record, I've always been pleased with their products and service.

    I love using the Bean Farm. Never had an issue, and the bonus for me is quick shipping (living in WA it gets here in a day or two even with the cheapest rate)

    Ditto,
    and if it's not in stock they'll have it drop shipped.
    Priority shipping and being on the west coast means getting it quick.

    Reptile basics is good too, but slow shipping means waiting 2-3 days longer or more since Bean farm typically gets packages to me in 2 days

    I also have had very good service from the bean farm, reptile basics doesn't ship outside the US so I have only inquired about products they brand for info for pre purchase support I have found this to be spotty at best.
