Gday All,

I am hopefull of getting a list together by this coming friday..19th-11..

This year im also hope to offer into Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.. Melbourne will be volume relitive as the freight charges to there are crazy..

Sydney is totally un-viable, you will be able to buy them cheaper than I can get them to you..

I am confident of offering at last years prices, but it will be only able to happen if we (you ) can get enough of an order together, and have a single consignment and 1 central contact Person.

It has worked with the WA guys and seemed to work with the Melb guys last year..

I hope to Post more in the following days..We wont arrive in Darwin till 2nd or 3rd of Dec and dont expect orders to be in the various cold stores before mid Dec..

Cheers Ean

But quality means value, that is more important than price.

Very true, but there are wholesalers landing container loads of Australian prawns into sydney, and the freight costs are acceptable, but when you start looking at $3 per kilo plus handling, it starts to make it a better option to buy from a local retailer..

Of course they have to be AUSTRALIAN and WILD CAUGHT not imported farmed...

The problem is you have to go Darwin-Brisbane, no probs, then they get subbed out to another carrier and I cant get a definate time frame or a definate sydney cold store.
I had the senario last year that the truck to Melb got re-scheded and they were going to arrive 5 days later than I thought, and some orders had to cancel as people were leaving for hols.

I would hate to send stuff and it take 3 weeks to get there..

Cheers Ean

Hi All,
It's been months since I logged on. Still overseas.
Am I able to jump on this bandwagon or have I missed boat?

Lucky Bugger..I dont even get mine for free, just heavily discounted

To be honest I will be surprised if people in Brissie and Adelaide cant get prawns cheaper than I can get them there for, but am more than happy to try to provide them if people want them..

Cheers Ean
