If you do only buy from people in your country, dont trust trans shippers, there not all bad but most look to charge a rediculous middleman fee. I got a ok deal from a thai breeder on a red texas 2 small kamfa and a AAA quality 8" female kampfa. Took over 30 day before they shipped, the fish werent fed in that time, and my paypal insurance time period ran out. Had them shipped to a trans shipper 45min drive from me as to not have them reshipped and was told by the seller that if i picked them up there would be no fees because shipping is included to the states. When i finally se my fish i can see that they are all starving i mean rediculous somalian staving. I am getting ready to leave and the trans shipper/ owner of nice flowerhorn fish store, and also thai. Tells me ok let me ring you up, we have an argument in wich i show him the saved posts and emails claiming no fee for pickup. He refuses to give me my fish unless i pay him 200 dollars. At this point i was ready to burst. He claimes thats what he had to pay at thre airport. I had waited over 30 days recieved sick fish and was being extorted. I had only 90 dollars in my pocket that he happily took and gave me my fish. Golden aquatic garden, elmhurst ny, kevin you suck. I have spent well over 500 dollars at his store prior to this situation. I have no issue with thai people in any way but this guy was biast would treat me awkwardly and when any asian person cam in he would becom a different person. Ive learned my lessons the hard waystick to reputibale dealers, here on mfk, or people like jeff rapps, and cichlids of the americas, aquabid is good for people that are reputible in wichever country you live, im guessing the US, many mfk ers post on aquabid and you can verify who you are doing buisness with
The large AAA female died a horrible death 3 weeks later due to her starvation thanks chomboriman and aquagold
