Painful and excruciatingly long process for the necessary paperwork? YES! ( depending on what you are ordering ) Worth it for a hobbyist? nope.... ( not in my option ) Basically what you would need to do is locate a partner/business in the USA that would be willing to help with necessary permits; pay all of the fees and inspection costs; and you'd be set. ( obviously you would need to flip the bill on all of the permit and import costs ) To get someone interested in doing business with you out of the USA I'm sure you would need to place a pretty substantial order. It's much more cost effective to get help collecting tank mates here and there from vendors online in Canada; call around to some sponsors and see just what they can do for you to win your business.

I went to see Burc last night being and I must say it was great. His set up was top notch and I got an amazing flame bta and and he gave me some zoa frags just because I said they were cool lol. We were there for 40 minutes and I know that doesn't sound like much but I had my wife with and 16 month old with me and she never gave me the "lets go" look once! I'm not trying to troll and I understand shipping things is a different experience then going to the store but I will be buying of Burc again. Great experience

That's the thing with Burc. I have had some good experiences and some bad experiences. The thing is, when you go to his place and can see the corals and pick them out, you will have a good experience. With shipping, it is hit or miss.
I had an order where he had everything bagged for me and I didn't look to closely at them. Half my order turned out to be things I didn't order. He made good on them by letting me keep those frags and offering me credits as well. I can only assume this happens to people quite frequently when ordering them online and would be very frustrating. In person, Burc is a nice guy and he does have a nice setup. But, obviously, for many this is not a possibility to go to his place.
