A bit of a crap shoot, since you cannot see them ahead of time, but I just got a very nice green tentacle/purple base African mag from LA. My idea of 'large' and theirs clearly don't align, but that's ok - it arrived in pretty good shape. Since I'd QT it anyhow, I also treat prophylactically. FWIW I've actually fared better with mags from LA versus DD. As it's very often the shipping that gets them, the extra conditioning from DD doesn't seem to do much - and doesn't justify the premîum IMO. I suppose seeing the counts for something, though often the photos aren't all that good at capturing the colors.
