Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture
Only 4 DAYS LEFT
There is still time to get in on the group order. Several boxes indicated in green still have fish for sale, and an entire list is out there to pick from. I would really like to reach the 15 boxes total because it offers a larger discount which saves us all money. 10 boxes is the minimum required to place the order.

Chopping Block Boxes: None
Customs Fee : $250 split evenly by all members. $200 is actual customs for the importation of the goods from Africa and is based upon a percentage of the declared value. The additional $50 is the cost of one tank of gas for Mike's travel to IAH for pickup and return to College Station. Currently we have (16) People = $15.62 per person ~ $16 each
Shipping Cost : $225 per box spilt by all persons ordering that box equally no matter order size. As long as 12 fish remain in the box (aprox.20%), Mike will go in as a equal partner on the shipping. (1/2 of the Box) must be sold to others for it to be imported by Mike. $200 of this cost is the cost by the airlines for the actual shipment of the box on Delta Airlines coming direct from Johannesburg, South Africa to Houston, Texas (IAH). $25 is the charge that Michelle of African Cichlids Aquaculture charges for box and bagging, and ground transport to Johannesburg, South Africa from Lake Tanganikya (Nsumbu), Zambia
Boxing and Bagging Fee : $6.00 per Box, $1 per bag. This will depend on order size, typical fish bag will be a large bag that can safely transport 15-20 4" sized fish. A box can keep about 3-4 large bags. If you bring your own box and bags, this is not a problem. Charles has offered boxes to people who wish to come and get them. Please PM Charles "marauder_77868" for contact information.
Replacement or Additional Fish : Fish to replace DOA's will be sold at cost per fish to import. Group-buy members can also purchase additional fish at this same cost. This is defined as, the purchase price from the list based upon order size and the shipping price of the box divided by the number of fish that came in that box. Additional fish cannot be purchased until all DOA’s and acclimation looses have been given the chance for replacement by the original buyers who imported the box of fish.
Order Deadline : Monday November 26th by 11pm
Special Order Deadline has passed.
Payment Deadline : December 1st pay Mike (bethesdaboy) with Cash, Check, Money Order, Pay-Pal, or Credit Card. Earlier you can make this payment the better. The order will be placed when 100% paid in full. If you do not pay or make arrangements with Mike you will be automatically dropped from the order, and next in line gets a shot.
Sales Tax : 8.25% will be applied to all Texas Residents for sale of merchandise. All tangible items such as fish list price, and items required for bagging and boxing will be taxed. The Customs fee and Shipping cost from Africa cannot be taxed for these are not actual merchandise.
