Bad experience
Ants arrived in a very securely wrapped test tube, but were sadly dead due to extremely long shipping (more than two weeks). Meanwhile seller was very hard to reach both via mail and messenger. Finally, he emerged and replaced the order and this time the ants were alive, but consisted of only 1 queen and 1 worker. No brood in the empty beetle jelly the ants were shipped in this time. Seller maintained there was brood with them, but if so, it was never recovered. From the start the queen acted in ways she should not. Moving around tirelessly and never hiding. Despite being supplied with all she needed to found a colony and having 1 worker to help her she never did so - nor did she lay any eggs. 1 month later she was dead and despite it was a bright new worker so was the worker a few weeks later. It had no purpose left. Along the way seller stopped answering when I told him I suspected he replaced my order with an unmated queen and gave her a worker from a different colony. I even offered him to sell me a new established colony at a lower price, but still no answer. All in all, I had a bad experience dealing with this seller. Thus beware

Excellent seller
The comunication with the seller was very good, and they responded to my requests. The colony arrived fast (the seller offers the UPS Express delivery within 24h), very well packed and in excellent shape.

Iridomyrmex purpureus (q + 5w)
The seller kept me informed about the colony and gave tips and info for its caring. The comunication has been excellent. The colony was very well package and healthy and the prices are pretty good. I strongly recommend this store!
