AquaBid

I've been thinking of getting a Betta from AB. I see that they have some nice options to choose from. My question is... How are these fish shipped? Has anyone experienced any issues ordering a fish? What if I'm not home at the time and this fish arrives?

If you're new to Bettas, I wouldn't recommend buying a fish off AB. All your questions have already been answered dozens of times.

Most bettas from aquabid are from thailand, they send it to a transhipper which is a person who is stationed in USA and then they send your fish to you. You pay 5 dollars plus the fish to the owner of the fish, then you pay shipping and handling charges to the transhipper. After you win the fish on aquabid you will pay the owner, then choose a transhipper from their list and contact them via email, they will help you with the rest if this is all confusing to you.

@MSG not exactly helpful. Steering toward Mr. Vampire's sticky/thread on buying from Aquabid would've been more helpful and sounded a bit less rude maybe.

It depends on where the fish is from. Where are you thinking about buying a fish from? US or Thailand
