Definitely order from TUIC. You won't regret it. Shipping rates are comparable to other online shippers. Specimen price may at times appear higher than others. But, the quality of those specimens are unmatched. Except for the occassional one-of specimen, all fish are properly quarantined and have been verified to feed in captivity before being shipped out. I ordered a rare species from Jeff that he couldn't guarantee were all feeding yet. I received them in clean water and tight bags and the fish all fed within 15 minutes of being released from the bags.

If you are local to Jeff he will often meet up with you I have done this several times. His stock is topnotch and his pricing is fair.

From what I understand, his biz is located on the same property as his home. Liability insurance for a home-based business is staggering if customers are allowed onto the property. Not to mention he has to concern himself with his family's privacy and security.

The post with $80 shipping is from Oregon. Overnight across the country could cost that much depending on the size of the box.

Jeff is one of the best sources of fish that I have found. I've ordered from him at least 6 times and have been satisfied with every shipment.
