Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

Fish Delivery into Housotn currently looks to be Friday December 14th.

Mike will acclimate for 2 weeks, so pickup can be done December 28th.

If the fish are doing really well, Mike might let some go early.

So, make sure your tanks are ready definately before the 28th, and for those doing local pickups on delivery day, your tank best be ready by December 12th.

Also, Michelle has said that the DOA policy only covers fish delivered to Mike's business.  So, if you local pickup on Delivery day (December 14th), no DOA policy will be extened.  You will be 100% on your own.

Take care,

Geoff

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 (15) People = $16.67 per person

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 an equal partner on the shipping.  (1/2 of the Box) must be sold to buyers 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 : TODAY 2PM

Payment Deadline : 2PM December 2nd (Sunday) 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.

Actual Order Date : December 3rd

Delivery Date into Houston : After 5pm on December 14th

If you local Pickup on Delivery Day, NO DOA policy will be extended. You will be 100% on your own.

Acclimation Date and ready for pickup : December 28th**Could go early on some fish, if acclimation is doing really well.

Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

Geoff..this may be pushing it...but can you increase your petro order by 3? I would like 3 large 1:2 ratio

[eklikewhoa]

Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

Might as well get the remaining 14 Delock! after splitting the $225 box fee and adding tax those three are probably gonna cost about half of all of just the 14.

[geoff_tropheus]

Re: Direct Import from Africa - African Cichlids Aquaculture

The Trewavasae will come 6 to 10 cm ( 2" to 4" )
