chimera Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi Tim, I notice Marine Aquatics Ltd is not a registered company. Is this something you are going to get setup or is importing just a current hobby or are you just testing the market first? Curious that I'd never heard of you so wanted to find out some background first. Nothing personal Got a web site? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine importer Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Due to a member of my immediate family being in a certain job, my business cannot not be put onto the registered company list. We started several months ago and have received our first shipments 3 1/2 weeks ago. As I said, due to a family member being in a certain job, you won't see my company on the list. Also, if you check the voting register, I am not on that either. Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverJohn Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Would you be able to get any plants?? They seem cheaper in the LFS's websites from overseas.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine importer Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Possibly. Some of the pet shops get their plants from the Waikato river. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine importer Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 we don't get stopped, we just can't be viewed. for instance, if you are a normal citizen, you would be on the voting register and anybody can see your name and possibly your details. for my, becuase of my bros job, we are on another voting register which is inaccessible to any one but the person or the police.
