What some people seem to forget is that when saltwater shipments come in from Indonesia, Phillipines, Hawaii, etc. they go through Vancouver first (Because Vancouver is a major port). To get them anywhere outside of Vancouver they have to be put on another plane and shipped there. That means there will be additional shipping and handling charges as well as the possibility of more DOA, hence the higher prices. Please take this into consideration before jumping the gun and thinking the local stores are out to jab you.....
