I'd recommend Jennifer V for transhipping. I have used her many times and never had a problem. A fish I bought from her died a couple days after it arrived and she gave me a full refund & I didn't even ask for one.

Other people may have had different experiences with her, but I will not use Julie Tran in CA again. her communication was extremely minimal (only emailed me once, after I had contacted the seller to find out what was going on) ignoring other requests for update about my fish's status as I knew he had been in his box since Sunday and it was then Wednesday. I finally got him on Thursday and thankfully he survived the trip with only a few bitten fins. He's since bitten more and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of some IAL - hoping that will speed up the process of healing his fins and them growing back.
I've heard good things about Jennifer V and Linda Olsen. Linda is the closest transship-er to me so I would probably use her.

She refunded your transhipping costs? It says on her website she does not refund tranship costs, and she did not refund mine. I did get a refund from the seller, however, for the base price of the fish.

good info thanks, anyone deal with the transhipper out of NY he's closest to me, but havent heard anything about him

MMAsac, DO NOT USE KEVIN IN NY! I used him once, and he was HORRIBLE. He did not pack my fish well AT ALL, there was no insulation, just a bagged fish, 2 pieces of newspaper, and a box. She came very stressed. And he cannot communicate clearly, misquoted me shipping cost which delayed my shipment... He was... like I said, horrible. Choose Jenniver V. I also used Linda Olson who may be ok, but when I used her she had just had surgery and there was no communication to me about it so I literally had to track down the person who took over for her to get my fish.... boo. Jennifer V.

I've never used a trans shipper but as a seller I try my darndest to answer each and every enquiry as soon as possible but things happen. I have 2 children 7 and 10 that I take back and forth between my house and their mothers. I might be gone Saturday afternoon and come back Sunday evening. I had one person give me bad feed back because they emailed me Saturday afternoon and I didn't get back to them until Sunday night. Obsess much? Give me a break. Is that a little too picky, am I being overly sensitive or do people really expect someone to not have a life and spend 14 or 15 hours a day sitting at a computer desk waiting for their questions?

[MMAsac]

thanks, I was curious about him, but I'll steer clear of him!

Crazy eyeballs! Popeye? It looks like a cartoon.
