its two steps
pay aquabid.. lets say.. $20.. if seller is from indonesia.. they will have $5 shipping.. BUT.. to the Transhipper/Importer.. a bunch of betta breeder coop shipments and split cost.. hence $5..
however.. ONCE its at TRANSHIPPER.. they pay all the costs of importing.. there are only 6 transhippers in all of you USA>. you pick one.. i used LINDA OLSON but will use Jennifer V. next one.. they will send it either PRIORITY or OVERNITE EXPRESS.. $28 to $45.. depends on zip and how you want it shipped..
but thats it.. you pay seller.. then pay transhipper.. badaboom.. badabing!
