I would like to make a suggestion here based on my own experience. I found that ordering Planaria Zero (from Japan) does take a LONG time and it comes from overseas--I think Japan. However, there are some distributors that already should have some in stock. I didn't know this and I ordered the packet myself. I had never seen it before, so I didn't know better. However, one day about a week ago, I dropped into a shop which specializes in shrimp. They had plenty of Planaria Zero bags on hand. Wow! if I had only known. However, if you go to their website, you will find that they do not have it listed there. In this case, they are located in Canada, but I would suggest you actually get on the telephone and start calling around to places in your area. Ask them if they have Planaria Zero. After exhausting the possibilities, I would then start on the internet and contact these places that sell on-line and ask them if they carry it. It would probably result in getting a North American business to sell to you and it would enable you getting the item much faster. By the way, the shop I was in also had "No Planaria" for much cheaper. I asked about the difference and it was explained to me by the Japanese in the store that they are identical in substance. (The instructions are all in Japanese so I had to find someone to translate for me when I first purchased it.) What they explained is that Planaria Zero is made by a more renown company (Benibachi) and because of their name they charge a lot more for a lot less of the substance. So when I run out of my Planaria Zero, I'm going to try "No Planaria" instead. Why pay for the Benibachi brand just to have a more name brand?
