Does anyone know of any sites to import products from overseas for reptiles?

If anyone knows of any or has used any to get products off you could PM me.

Cheers Lloyd.

if this is the Lloyd that has been asking questions on one of my TM auctions I will give you this advice, if you want to get stuff from overseas use Australian or Usa reptile sites, just google reptile supplier and you will find heaps, just don't think you will get amazing bargains every time.

there is a lot of research and money spent at times trying to find a good supplier, also it helps if you are already importing other products in at times.

Have a better look at the commercial and private sales on this site, there are some good deals on reptile products already here in NZ, the hard work has already been done for you.

cheers broms..

I buy in bulk and then sell here. compare prices. if you are buying only a few of each product then cost is prohibitive. I sell the merc. vapours for $55 NZD and if you bought them in oz they would be $58 AUD- go figure.

Best thing if you want a particular product is find people that want the same thing and put in a group order. Basically by selling a product that you have imported yourself you will cover most of your costs for personal use of the product- but you won't make a fortune. Arguable if it is really worth it, but with the merc. vapours there was no similar product here so I had no choice. What were you looking for specifically? I can check with my guys and get you a price...

Cheers for that.. Im looking for a 2 clamp lamps. something that can refect the MVB. They are around $60 which is abit pricey for me. If you could help in that area it would be good.

merc vapours have own built in reflector- you mean something to screw them into?? If so try Hislop and Barley in Mt Roskill and ask for ceramic baton holder.

Cheers i will try them and also look around some electrical suplliers here.

so if i were to get a ceramic holder do i just screw in the merc vapour and sit it on top of my tank? as it does not have a hood or lid also is it useful for turtles as i probably use for turtle

get one of the hanging ones and you can attach the lead to the ceiling and the light hangs down, I'll post a photo soon to show you.

thanks didnt get to ask about lights but got a cool guppy i also got the coco fiber me newt loves it running around and exploring need to make the land area bigger tomorrow though

if you want to get stuff from overseas use Australian or Usa reptile sites,

wouldnt one also have to consider the power input if importing from overseas?

yes you do

Australia are the same as us, and usa have quite a few suppliers that supply worldwide so offer 220-240V
