Stomatopod.com has the best selection and prices I've seen, plus correctly identified mantises. They don't have a whole bunch ATM, but they should be getting another shipment soon. If you don't mind small selection TBS sells N. wennerae for $50+shipping. Also sealifeinc.net sells O. havenensis.

Mantises generally ship well if shipped right. They need multiple darkened bags so they don't pucture them for example.
