Don't think so. In red letters on the shipping info page....

Please Note: We cannot ship any aquarium life to Hawaii, APO addresses, Post Office Boxes, Puerto Rico, other U.S. Territories, or other countries.

if it takes 2-3 days to ship, I'd be worried about dead livestock.

No disrespect to online livestock stores, but I have seen peronalities, and much other things about fish that it is better to see the actual specimen you want.

Most local stores, ours included will special order for you if you have large or certain requirements.

after shippng costs, do you really save much?

food for thought
