Picking up fish at the airport?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well I just talked to Gage he sent them to Reagan National by Delta airlines they should be here at 5:15. I will probably leave an hour early because I know there will be a ****load of traffic.
 
Make sure you allow the unload time. I usually have to wait 30-45minutes after arrival to get my box.

Really? Well maybe I will leave later rather than sooner and who knows that might give time for the traffic to go down. I guess I will leave 30min to 15min earlier.
 
I've picked up a couple of times from Reagan.

The air cargo terminal at Reagan National is a good distance from the passenger terminal. Just follow the signs and you can bring your car right up to the loading dock. If you get lost, just ask someone.

Airport-to-airport shipping is the way to go for shipping large / delicate fish that won't withstand USPS Priority.

Good luck,
Matt
 
I never said they were uncommon.... fish keeping is far from free unless your mommy and daddy buy them for you.

I agree it's weird because some of his posts are normal, but at least half of them just come out of left field making you wonder how old he is or if he's just trying to troll. I know he has a penchant for asking for advice and then saying stuff like you guys worry to much my fish are fine and calling people names if he doesn't like what they said. Why he's derailing this thread and basically insulting the intelligence of those who order fish online is beyond me.

It's plain and simple I live in New York which is hardly the boonies and even with Shark Aquarium in driving distance and a couple of other good LFS's in N.J. I still have to order online to get what I want. As for OSA, IIICROWEIII is a great vendor and does get a lot of rare stuff in but even he has his limitations. It's simple for really rare fish you've got to go with Wes(Rare Fish) and Jeff(TUIC) has some really rare fish at times as well you want a rare Poly you go with Rehoboth etc,etc.... Some vendors just can't source certain fish because they lack the connections or the interest, so you have to go online and order via mail.

As for picking up from the Airport I had to do it many times when ordering from Rich(Infinite Aquatics) back in the day and there was a seperate pick-up for cargo. It was in the airport but far from the actual terminals so at worst you dealt with the traffic getting into the airport. There was never a line when I went to pick up a package and JFK used to call me when it was about to land I also always got my package same day which was cool and definitely better for the fish as they wheren't in transit long.
