Important Information:
The available listings are reserved for California residents and those who have a permit. PM me if you have offers or are interested (trade offers are accepted); you can ask questions in this thread. I ship via USPS, usually First Class depending on the order. You can also request special shipping such as over night, or a different shipping service such as FedEx at your own cost. Tracking your package is on you, once I give you the tracking number, it is your responsibility to track the package. I accept payment through Venmo and PayPal. If paying through PayPal, use the friends and family option - do not select paying for a service. If paying through Venmo, do not check the "Get a full refund" slider.

 Hello whoever is highlighting this to copy it!
DOA Policy - If an ant comes dead or a product comes damaged to the point of being unusable, a picture of the deceased ants/damaged product within one hour of the delivery time is required for a 50% refund of the price - shipping is non-refundable.
