Not once you pay for shipping and permits. Plus all the duplicates and less appealing corals. Don't forget, they always show you the nicest photos. Not to mention you will pay in US dollars for the shipping and permits which is 1.39 right now. On top of that, you'll be shipping to a PERSON, not business to business, so chances are the boxes will be stopped by the CBSA and get a very thorough inspection, often leading to delays of a day or more. If those corals die during shipping delay, the Bali company will not refund you. Everyone thinks the way you do until they try it themselves. It won't be as awesome as you're thinking it will be.
