Oregon, it's part of 'Murica!
About much will shipping and transshipper fees be, I am thinking of maybe using a California transshipper instead of the Seattle one if I decide I wanna import.

And how does the whole situation go down?
 
Use julie. $40-60ish for shipping $2 per inch import fee on fish. Find a fish on aquabid from a reputable seller and buy your fish with paypal. He will ship it to julie for free and you pay her the rest. She gets different stuff from all the sellers and you can often get red texas king kamfa and thai silk off of her for $20each.

Nice, depending on how she responds to my email I sent I might just order from her rather than importing. She has a couple shortbody I like and she does have some red texas. http://www.flowerhornsfrombeyond.com/flowerhorns-for-sale.html

Hope to get me something next month so I am exploring all my options and haven't decide on what and where to buy.

What do you mean exactly?

He means that when they ship out, they ship everything at one time. Example, there are 4 different buyers that bought different fish from the same seller on Aquabid. The seller won't ship them individually to the trans-shipper at different time. Let's say buyer #1 bought it during May 4th and buyer #2 bought one around May 7th. And the next flight takes off on May 11th, then the seller will send all the fish for his customers at one time. He'll just label them to which trans-shipper to drop it off at only. Most sellers recommend Julie, she handles flowerhorn better than anyone else when it comes to shipping. ;)
 
Oh I knew that but I guess I didn't understand what he was saying about buying from different people.

I still am not sure on what I am gonna do because if we take a trip I wanna buy based one where we go but I we are gonna move then I wanna order online.

But as I said, if you don't want to make a trip to San Francisco for Aquatic Central, you can always come to Sacramento for Jo Jo Aquarium. They are buddies tied with Aquatic Central, so basically they both have their fish from the same guy overseas. Jo Jo always carry RD(some of the best RD around for the price guarantee), the Kamalau and Kamfa always run out fast...;)
