online shopping
Okay i don't really know if this is in the right forum so sorry if it is.
My question is do any of you shop for livestock online? Im a complete noob at online ordering. If you do, could you let me know where are some good sites that ship to Vancouver? Id prefer not to pay for stuff accross the border due to ridiculous customs but Ill consider them anyways. thanks in advance!

my experience with livestock purchases online from outside of canada is impossible. i've emailed every bloody place that claims they ship and they state they do not ship to canada. they will all ship dry goods but whats the point. the benefit of online shopping for me would be to get primo crazy sps pieces, not a bucket of salt

You could always open up a mailing address in Blaine, WA.
I have my goods (Business and personal items) shipped to my mailing address in Blaine, and i pay $2 per item when i pick it up and clear customs myself at the border. The advantage for me living in white rock is that im 5 mins drive from Blaine.... however sometimes those *$%^&$%^ US Customs getting into the country gives you the rubber glove treatment as im a non canadian. As for online shopping, try www.saltwaterfish.com as they have amazing deals if you sign up for the special offers and sometimes offer free overnight fedex shipping along with a livestock garauntee... Here are some examples i got last week from them, remember prices are in US: Copepods - Group of 200 $11.99 Turbo/Astrea Snails - Group of 10 $9.99 Blueleg Hermit Crabs - Group of 10 $9.99 Nassarius Snails - Group of 10 $9.99 Peppermint Shrimp - Group of 5 $17.99 Jade Hermit Crabs - Group of 10 $8.99 Emerald Crabs - Group of 3 $11.99 Ricordea Mushroom Polyps $7.99 Lettuce Nudibranch $4.99 Pink Tip Haitian Anemones $9.99 Brittle Starfish $7.99 Mexican Turbo Snails $2.99 Cleaner Clams $4.99 Royal Grammas $9.99 Green Chromis $4.99 Engineer Gobies $4.99 Yellow Cucumbers $9.99 Sally Lightfoot Crabs $8.99 Porcelain Crabs $6.99 Umbrella Mushroom Polyps $7.99 Shaving Brush Plant - Group of 5 $15.99 Coral Banded Shrimp $8.99 Arrow Crabs $7.99 Chocolate Chip Stars $9.99 Rock Anemones $7.99 Gold Coral Banded Shrimp $14.99 Fancy Nassarius Snails $4.99 Randalli Pistol Shrimp $19.99 Porcupine Puffer $12.99 Orange Linckia Starfish $19.99 Pajama Cardinal $4.99 Tomini Tangs $49.99 Anyone wanting to setup a mailing address from Blaine, let me know and i will forward you the details. Its $10 to get one sorted out and then $2 per parcel delivered. P.s. ..... Anyjoy on a Mantis Justin? Last edited by Ticketyboo; 03-14-2007 at 01:59 PM.

hahaha, my most frequented supplier so far has been JL because i know it is a fantastic store, but like ticketyboo pointed out im looking for a mantis in particular. JL has none as yet. funny thing is that i know i probably won't get a peacock mantis from an online supplier because no one ever does. oh wells, im getting desperate.
Ticketyboo, is the free overnight fedex to canada or only to the US address? I may be interested in setting up a mailing addy like you did.

www.securitymailservices.com for the mailbox setup in Blaine and free overnight fedex to US address only. However i'm all for keeping business local when we can and supporting our local stores.
