Out of 652 transaction feedbacks 651 of the were positive, 1 was neutral. I won't worry to much.

Well it says the location is thailand, so how much is international shipping?

Jacunaba · Apr 1, 2013

we've seen many kels in the $40-50. This seems to be the new going rate.

My guess is either international shipping to the transhipper isn't included or this guy sells at high enough volume to where international shipping is spread out over a large number of sales.

Exactly. You will have to pay the transhipper. Typically $65-100 us

Well here in Miami we recieve fish straight from Thailand, so would there really be a need for a trans shipper?
