Attention Mantis shrimp FREAKS!!

[liverock]

Since everybody wants mantis shrimps but the shipping is extremely high for just one item, we have come up with an alternative!

Shipping charges for our size box via the airlines to a major airport is about $60.00

Shipping charges via fed ex to your door is about $80.00.

Makes it kinda hard to pay that much plus the cost of the box and shrimp, to obtain one of these critters.

Well, we have had special boxes made just to ship mantis shrimp!!

We can now offer a mantis shrimp delivered to YOUR DOOR by overnight express mail for $50.00 anywhere in the United States!!

$50.00 covers the cost of the mantis, cost of the box and packing materials, and the cost of shipping.

So if you want a mantis shrimp, this is an option!

Thanks

Does that mean that you'll be removing the mantis shrimps from all the LR for us?

I posted a reference to this over in the mantis forum, hopefully you'll get a lot of business out of it.

very cool - can you do a few mantis in a box (separately bagged of course) or just the one? i only ask because i know of a few people in my area who would be interested, and if we could combine 4 or 5 for under $100 it might be easier to handle

the fact that the closest airport that does live cargo is 2.5 hours away makes this a very appealing option

The box holds one shrimp, as the post says, is a small box, thus less shipping, if you want to use our regular box, cost $80 via fed ex, can hold 15 mantis...

I ordered a Mantis shrimp last week and am happy to report that it has been doing great for the last 5 days. It is a N. wenn but that's fine with me since I am housing it in a 5 gal.

After losing a Mantis from the LFS after 36 hours, I was worried about having one shipped. No problems.

This is a great service and price for someone who can't find any at their LFS or don't want to pay the high cost of shipping from other sources.

Thanks TBS,
