Pickup/Shipping: Local pickup is in the California Bay Area, at a location of my choice. Priority shipping is available for about $10.00, more for ants in formicaria or larger formicariums. For local pickup, the payment will be in cash. For shipping, the payment must be through PayPal Friends and Family. If not, a small PayPal fee will be charged.
DOA Policy: Can refund for the ants if the customer sends me a video of the dead colony within 2 hours of arrival. I will package the ants to the best of my ability, but shipping will not be refunded as I cannot control what conditions they will be going through during shipping.
Contacts: If interested but can't access Formiculture, email lhnguyens07@gmail.com. My Discord username is bmb1bee if you prefer a quicker way of reaching out.
I may accept payment over trade offers in some cases. PM for price, or if interested in up-to-date pics of my ants!
P.S. California sales only, unless you have a permit if from another state (does not apply for formicariums and other nonliving supplies).
