[MadameDesu]

Hello,

So as some of you may know, I've been preparing for my first fish, and as I was searching aquabid, I think I may have found the one!

He's a pet store rescue that needed to be re-homed, which is good because I couldn't decide if I wanted to contribute to the awful way in which some stores take care of their fish, but wanted to get some out of there.

So, my question is whether I should get priority or expedited shipping. The seller only lives about 45 mins away (I can't really drive to get it though), so I can't imagine that it would take more than 2-3 days. Do you think he would make it?

Thanks,
MadameDesu

He's handsome for sure I don't know anything about shipping, sadly. Could you maybe meet the seller at a more convenient location?

He's a cutie!

Depends on how the seller will ship, and what you are willing to pay for.. you can have him shipped over night if the seller is willing to do so.

Bettas are sold and shipped from other countries, and go through a trans shipper in the US/Canada who will repackage and ship once more- and they tend to survive that, which makes me want to believe that if the seller is shipping properly, he should arrive at your home safely in a day or two- make sure the seller uses a heat pack if you are in the northern hemisphere..
