moldyform Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 This is a 2.27kg bucket of Cichlid Formula Bucket. Its in America though. But for AU $53 thats gotta be a bargin!! Shipping may be around 20-30 $ but still way cheep if you ask me! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Life-Spectrum-C...oQQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonx Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I wonder what customs would do with it also... In all honesty, but the time you pay for 20-30 shipping on top... for another $20-30 you get it delivered from a store & you know its perfectly new etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonx Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Ok, so its $36 more... but basically The Reef Shop currently have free postage on their tubs at $119.90. Sorry I was throwing some random figures in the air, but overall its not really much more for piece of mind and generally a 2 or 3 day delivery time.

Sumbu Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I would be really careful ordering anything from the states unless it is books and magazines. Aqis are likely to seize the order if it has anything to do with fish food, aqaurium chemicals etc. Been there done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilroy Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I can testify to that. I lost a 2.27kg tub of NLS to customs. The only way to get them in is to buy an importers license for a couple of hundred bucks, so unless you are bringing in lots and lots, don't bother.

Dreamwater Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I have to agree with the above regarding customs seizing it....I have had a lot of fishing lures (soft plastics) seized as they were marked as bait, I would guess anything perishable would not be allowed through the normal channels.

moldyform Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Cheers guys. BTW that shop in Vic is a fairly good shop in general.' The Reef Shop' Thanks Guys ill stick with my small 300g vilals for now. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Anything that is food, animal or not will be seized by aqis. This is fine as long as you have an import licence for the product. To obtain an import licence will cost you around $260 for the application. For the licence to be granted you need a complete ingredients list and description on the manufacturing process, and it will need to comply with aqis regulation on what is and isnt allowed. Good luck getting that info out of pablo in the first place unless you have a commercial agreement with him. If you cant get this info you can always just send it to be gamma irradiated (arguments about what this does to the food nutritionally aside), which will cost you about $60. Your $500 bucket of NLS is really cheap now! I've done this for horse foods before and dealt with very rude manufacturers. In the long run its cheaper and easier to deal with local importers.

chorrylan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 hi, If my memory serves me correctly you could have snapped up a tub of this stuff at the 'Gong auction for under $80/tub. Might be worth keeping an eye on the monthly club auctions to see if they appear there though I don't imagine you'd get 'em quite that cheap again... the cold in the 'Gong was keeping peoples hands in their pockets :-).

electricyellowz Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 It is much better to use ace's sponcers than an Lfs for Nls as I find it is much cheaper. Just click on a banner above and look for nls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
