Default Prices, etc.

[QUOTE=keyshar]Hi Lesley, I am Azhar, the guy from times square...you awarded my kittens 1st and 2nd placing respectively and my male best longhair, and also told me a good tip with regards to the eye stains..for your info, i have ordered the starter kit

the prices you quoted together with carebear does not include the flight...i had bought a cat from Victoria, Australia and had agreed the price of the cat only to be told that the flight would cost me AUD$700 which is quite surprising since its about USD$450 from US and 350Euro from Europe,its about 180pounds from UK...I had initially thought that getting from Australia would be a cheaper alternative due to it being closer but i am not sure why the flight is similar or more expensive than countries that are further away...


I certainly remember - hope you find the starter kit very successful!

Try AU$1720 for freight of a desexed kitten to Portugal as a pet???? (That was in May. American doctor living near Lisbon and the happiest home any kitten could want!!!! OK - he was a "mature" kitten - 6 mths and heavy, but still...) Part of the problem here which pushes freight prices up is the fact that you can't organise your own export these days. Has to be done by a licenced exporter. But are you sure about the US cost, for eg? Was that recent? I know someone who imported from the US to Oz last year and it cost around AU$1500. Whichever way you look at it, the airlines are ripping people off! (Aviation fuel hasn't increased SO much!)
