Well...all I can say is that Im very impressed with all the people I have met on this forum.
I live in Perth and we dont get alot of the more unusual Apisots over here. Needless to say that very few of the recent (ie last 12 - 18 months) shipments have made it over here. Most that do come over here are from the big suppliers with all the associated issues.
With some excitmnet and trepidation I made some enquiries about getting some of the newer species sent all the way over here.
Without exception the people here have been fantastic.
Firstly Thomas (my first shipmenet from over east came from Thomas) has been fantastic. The fish he chose for me were all in great condition and he was very forthcoming with advice. All fish arrived in first class condition and most spawned in the first week of arrival.
Next Rav. He has also been fantastic about organising the latest shipment for me and even was genrous enough to let me ship some fish from my nephew in the same batch. For a commercial operator I think he has gone above and beyond the normal.
Then theres Steve (scubasteve) who gladly let me piggyback a shipment from overeast and even held onto the fish for me overnight (it was my first wedding anniversary yesterday and I wasnt going to be home) and then dropped the fish off at my place today. Excellent service and is a nice bloke as well.
My nephen Nathan, who held onto some fish for me over the last few months and then organised a trip across Melbourne to drop them off at Ravis shop.
And lastly Chris (wickedglass). Well, what can I say. We have never met yet he gladly gave up a few hours to go down to Ravis shop and pick some fish out for me. Truelly remarkable and generous. The fish arrived today at my place and they are in great condition.
Once again everyone. My experiences with this forum have been nothing but fantastic.
I hope to see most of you in Melbourne and Sydney in a few weeks time.
Mike
