I suppose we should be thankful that the price rises have come at this stage in the hobby. Do we really need to ship BHPs intrastate when there are plenty around? Freight cost is going to continue to rise so its important to build and maintain local communities.One of the main problems in a large country like Australia is the centralisation of good and services which often carries with it the cost of increased freight travel and transport. Think local!
Regardless of wether we get BHP's or any snakes at all for that matter from intersate or not - we still rely on AAE to get them to us or for us to ship any reptiles out - due to where we live.....
We DO NOT have the option of thinking local - its all right for those of you who live in a metropoliton area, where your choice is varied and much.
We have to rely on AAE and if people cannot take a little time and effort ( just like we do when sending reptiles )then it will stuff it up for the rest of us...
