I agree, just go with FFE. Shipping is expensive, I had someone who wanted one of mine and flaked on me when I told them it would be $35 for the shipping. no charge for the mantis, I have plenty of boxes and I had it packed according to Dr. Roy's spec's. That was $35 with the discount for signing up to get spammed by them.
FFE packs there stuff really nicely too, mine came in all nice and secure, and she's settled in very nicely.
