Hello OwlThatLikesAnts;
I purchased both a 25-50 worker and a 50-100 worker Crematogaster colonies from Canada Ant Colony. As far as shipping time goes, at checkout you can choose different options with different shipping times. I usually choose "Expedited Parcel Delivery" that assures delivery within five to seven business days for delivery. In my experience, it usually takes seven business days for me to receive a package from them (it's a two-hour drive from my place) I have no idea how long it would take to get where you are in British Columbia. You asked in a different post about the heat pack, I've bought them before when I ordered queens and they arrived in good condition despite the weather being below freezing, it's cheap insurance. You can email Teddy at Canada Ant Colony for specific details about your situation and purchase.
I've never purchased anything other than ants from Canada Ant Colony. As AntsGodzilla said, I expect they would ship the entire order in one package, on the order form is an area where you can send them a note about your purchase; you can request that they ship everything together there. Good Luck
RPT
Ok thanks Rpt, for the information (I am actually in Montreal, Quebec) and it takes a 5 hour drive to get to where I am
