The Hunt for the Red Bulu Points - F1's from Europe

[Zulaab]

You do understand wild caught Bulu points will cost you most likely somewhere in the neighborhood of about $500,- each -- getting a trio or Quad is for sure an investment

ok let me change what i said... i wish that i had the cash and ablity to get these fish to thrive like this guy has....

[eklikewhoa]

I am down for at least 10.... would prefer to have 20+.

[76dragon]

I can probably handle a quad

[geoff_tropheus]

He said that he will guarantee live delivery if all flights are not delayed.

If the flights are delayed he will DOA credit us any DOA's

He said he will pack them for survival for 48 hours. He believes they will not have a issue up to 54 hours.

[76dragon]

Delayed flights might be an issue. I wouldn't do it in the winter then and would wait til the spring. Hey Goeff. I have a cousin that lives in Denmark and comes over to Houston every few months for work. I am trying to get a hold of him. Might be able to work something out.

[eklikewhoa]

So what's the deal Geoff?

[geoff_tropheus]

We'll need a customs broker, and find a direct flight to Houston as the first point of entry for the fish. Otherwise, we will have to Drive to Newark or Atlanta.

Right now it looks like the best thing going is to use Brittish Airways Stockholm to London, then Direct London to Houston.

So next we need to get ahold of customs broker, and a contact at Brittish Airways.

Then decide when we will do this.

how much

[geoff_tropheus]

Now, Spring, or Summer, or early Fall.

Lots depends on cash-on hand, and what we need to be able to do for the Customs Broker and Airlines

[eklikewhoa]

Dang... all the excited I forgot about the customs deal.

[Delock]

Use KLM...they have a direct flight

contact mike about his broker but you going to need a wildlife permit also

how much are the fish

[geoff_tropheus]

How much?

I am going to estimate based upon what happened before, and I suspect that the box with 20 F1 Bulu Points would be around $200 for shipping to the US on Brittish Airways from Stockholm to Here in Houston.

Then 20 Fish at $300 each is $6,000

Then the Customs Broker Fee of $125
Custom Broker having to deal with Fish and Wildlife Fee of $50
Then a Bond Fee which is 1% of Declared Value of the good which is $60
There is a Non-Duty Fee for Goods of $25
A Wildlife Fish and Game Fee of $50
Then a possible ground transport fee from Terminal

So, I would estimate about $6,510 for 20 fish at this point.

[eklikewhoa]

LMK!

I wouldn't mind taking on the 20.

[Delock]

use klm instead of BA...faster flight
