 Oversea shipping?

i was thinking to try to send some geckos inetrnationally, but i was going to try Canad, and i live in the US, so not a big distance there.. i don’t know how long they would last in a box overseas, though...i think it’d have to be overnight...or at least 2 days...

i think normally the cost would be prohibitive, to do it properly with all the paperwork and stuff...
from what i was told, it isn’t worth it to ship like that unless you are dealing with at least several thousand dollars worth of orders..

Duane

btw my boss is from ireland, where you from?
he’s from county fermanaugh

-who knows?? maybe someday we can set something up..? it’d be a little risky...

i would assume it would be very expensive shipping usually costs around $40 for us shipping overnight

to get across the atlantic ocean in one night would cost a fortune

also i know shipping mamals on a plane is usually at least $125 +

so like the pp said it would just not be cost efficient
