If you intend to sell guppies frequently to hobbyists all over the world, then I guess it is worthwhile to pursue this. If it's an infrequent activity, i.e. a once in a while thing, my personal opinion is that it's not worth the hassle. Some of the things you have to consider are: putting them in bags, plastic type or Kordon breathing bags; packaging with optional heat packs; forwaders; courier companies, permits/documentation.

lucasrock no I am from Oregon USA. Usually I sell them on craigslist, but maybe I have the area flooded with them now as I havnt had a single bite on my ads in months
kian John this may be a dumb question but what is the AVA and who is lo? KeeHuat yeah you bring up good points, I know its a bit of an undertaking. I do have some kordon breather bags that I got a while back. I have 4 or 5 styrofoam boxes I have collected over the years from having fish shipped to me, so thats a start for sure lol. I dont know that I would be shipping all over the world, I would likely stick to the USA so I didnt have to worry about documents and permits. I for sure would have to research prices of shippers. |

AVA is the agri-veterinary authority of singapore. thats where most of us are from i wouldn't be able to comment on US regulations, but the practical aspects: kordon breathing bags are great for shipping live fishes. just call DHL, Fedex or UPS for rates and u should be good to go |

I am thinking I wont need to try to sell any out of state this time anyway, the market must be picking up again, I have sold 20 in the last 2 days and people who say they want to come get some in the next few days so yay! Last edited by Audrey; 15-11-2009 at 02:28 PM. |
