I found a website called Antseurope.eu that has suspiciosly low prices. Has anyone here heard of them or ordered from them? They seem kinda fishy if you ask me...
Here is the link btw. https://www.antseurope.eu/gb/

I have no .. but keep the old adage in mind...

If it seems too good to be true.. it's too good to be true.

**edit** I am not sure what the prices translate to in my concept of money ... but the products look small and very limited.

As an European, seems in-line with other European shops, if not for the fact it has so little supplies, since that shop is from Czech Republic, if you're from that area I can link you to about 7 Polish shops that are way better stocked.


Um, uh, Ants!

Alright

these shops specialize in nests and other supplies - https://ant3d.pl/https://anthillshop.pl/

A couple are sorta general purpose stores - https://antkeeper.pl/https://www.antcenter.com.pl/https://www.mrowkoyad.pl/https://kraina-mrowek.pl/https://myrmekolog.pl/

These shops specialize in selling ant colonies ( depending on the time, they have some pretty exotic stuff ) - https://antontop.com/https://www.cheap-queens.pl/https://www.anthunter.pl/

 

After counting, that's about 10 ant stores.

 

Edit: after comparing the prices, it seems the shop you linked is actually pretty expensive, charging double the price for C. ligniperda for example

I don’t know if this is the same shop, but my friend ordered from a shop with a similar name and it took 3 months for the ants to get here. Most died.

Some good europeans shops that i know are trustworthy and have ordered from myself are antsite (https://antsite.eu/en/) and the ant lady (https://www.theantlady.co.uk/)

Hi, my eshop www.AntsEurope.eu is just starting, it started less than 14 days ago. There are not many items therefore. Some prices are perhaps suspiciously low, because me and a few of my friends have decided to increase the level of antkeeping in Czechoslovakia. So I focus mainly on Czechoslovak antkeepers. I am a long-term unofficial seller on FB and also the largest terraristic fairtrade "Live exotika" in Prague. To feel more safe, I recommend entering the Ant Lady e-shop. Ant Lady and me manage one of the largest groups on Facebook (Ant keeping Enthusiasts) and I can confirm for myself that she is an amazing colleague.

 

Have a nice day,

Radek from Antseurope.eu ;-)

That’s awesome! My Czeck last name is Chudy, which I’ve been told means poor in the old country. My great, great grandmother ran a general store in Prague. I wish you Godspeed on your shop and efforts!
