MrEd Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for that Ryan and great to hear you're still alive and I hope your fish survive you absence .... and for the kind words on the Appisto's! I might make up an A4 label on the computer saying "live tropical fish" and put a pic of one on there also so if they can't be bothered reading they'll be at least be able to identify with it! Do any companies actually fly Sth to Chch or is it all over the Cook Strait on a truck .... on the boat that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Anytime mate they were awesome and im stocked with them Hopefully I still have them all alive when I get back otherwise I might be back in touch to get some more Win said he definately saw the males hopefully females are hiding.. (if you have some left).. They are flown to Chch, as you said make sure you clearly label the boxes live tropical fish otherwise they think they're frozen and freeze them.. Also make sure you tell all the people its at their cost and risk if the couriers make a stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yeh there'll be some left just not as colourful or big! Some of the females are showing flushes of yellow when a male goes past and getting fat so won't be far off breeding! I always asumed they were flown but an ex-worker of a courier Co reckoned that's what they want you to believe and will even tell you but not many do? He was an "ex"-worker though ????

ryanjury Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sweet well will be in touch lol hopefully you have some good ones left To be honest I don't care if they're flown or shipped I have sent fish from Bulls at 4.30 and had them delivered in Chch at 8am so thats good going, when ive rung them they have told me they are flown but maybe on a truck that drives though the night? Anyway good luck hope all the shipping goes well it can be alot of work and hassle sometimes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm sure there will be something half pie reasonable left for you bud! As you say as long as it gets there in that time frame I'm not too worried and the fact they will be sitting sub-zero in a cargo hold for an hour would make trucking the better option anyway! Hope all goes well to as I've always avoided sending fish and hassles I can do without! Cheers and keep your head down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hope all goes well to as I've always avoided sending fish and hassles I can do without! But I bet the people in ChCh will be very grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Depends where you send them from & to - some fish from Auckland are flown straight to the SI, sometimes they are trucked to Palmy North and flown from there. I use NZ Couriers and they deliver overnight to SI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
