Msl7588 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi all, I am interested in getting some food from eBay xo humpy head ect.. But they are all in Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore has anyone bought food from there and have not been hassled by customs, just a bad experience buying dog supplements ie, bully max, gorilla max from overseas, not being able to get them because I am not a veterinarian or licensed to have it, so it was destroyed. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk333 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've heard of fish food coming in from Thailand being confiscated and destroyed. Just buy local and support our local hobby and forum sponsors. You can order online (or buy in store) from The Tech Den or Age of Aquariums. I always put together a decent order, so that the flat rate shipping fee is spread over a number of items and means it's still cheaper than buying in store.

yellows Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why would you risk it after the shipping and not to mention the aussie dollar being so low just get it off one of our sponsors at least your guaranteed to receive it and you can get it off ebay from some of our sponsors if you like shopping on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litigator666 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Not worth the risk of being confiscated and hassle. I have most of my offshore purchase opened up and confiscated. I'm on the customs speed dial when I order stuff from overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattzilla Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Australian Quarantine (not customs) will confiscate fish foods coming from overseas. Commercial importations are radiated to kill any microbes/nasties and that costs money. Like everyone said here, buy local and you know you will get it. You can buy xo humpy head etc from Enhancement Fish Food hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
