Germany Group Buy, August/September 2014 (closed)

*** Note: this Group Buy is closed. All orders should have been confirmed. If you ordered but didn't get a reply from me please contact me asap. ***




Notes and Rules:
- This is a rare chance to get these rare species from Germany. I don't think I'll be doing this very often. If you miss this chance, you may have to wait for a LONG time before I do this again.

- These shrimps are from a famous German breeder Michael Nadal.

- All shrimps are 1.2+cm unless otherwise specified. I'm told most of them will be bigger than 1.2 and should at the young adult size.

- Male/Female mixed. Do not ask for male/female ratio, I will be fair. If I can't get you at least 30% female, the transaction is cancelled. (I am told we'll get mixed male/female, but I can't guarantee 50% ratio. You get same ratio of female as in the entire shipment)

- All pre-orders require a 20% deposit, balance to be paid in full when picking up the shrimps. You'll get 100% refund if for any reason your ordered shrimps don't arrive (out of stock or other reasons).

- Preferred payment method is email transfer (no fee from me), or PayPal (3% fee to be added).

- Tentative pickup date is end of September, if you can't pick up (or arrange a shipping date) between  (Sept 28 - Oct 10), please arrange alternative pickup/shipping date BEFORE placing an order.

- Shipping can be arranged, as long as I agree to ship to you, it's 100% DOA (excluding the shipping cost). Exception applies and I will communicate with you before your order is finalized.

- I reserve the right to deny purchase due to shipping difficulty and/or any other reason making the transaction difficult.

 - I reserve the right to change the pickup date. If you can't make it to the new pickup date, all deposit will be refunded.

- All order or inquiries to be directed to randy_leiATyahoo.ca (replace AT with @ of course)



Important Dates:
- I'm taking orders until Sunday, September 14.
- Tentative pickup dates is around end of September or early October. Exact date will be announced in the week after pre-order is closed.
