ismart (Paul) - (US)

[Andredesz]

Hello All,

I just received four perfect Acromantis formosana nymphs from Paul. They were packed perfectly for transit, with a heat pack underneath and cotton all around the inner container, and the package arrived the day he said it would. His communication is excellent, and I would definitely recommend him as a breeder. A+

Christmas in February!

Getting a package from Paul (Ismart) is like opening gifts on Xmas day when I was a kid. There's what I had expected, of course (been hinting for a new bike all year), but there's always that totally unexpected gift as well. I'm not even going to mention the details of this "deal" to prevent forum members descending on his house en masse, but in addition to five healthy L2-3 A. formosana nymphs, I got a virgin pair of adults, perfectly packed with a large heat pack mailed and delivered on time.

Paul is an outstanding example of those breeders who seem to abound in this hobby, who are more intent on spreading their mantids and knowledge than on making a buck. So far, no one has come up with a medication that will cure this trait. Good!

Paul (ismart) stayed on top of our transaction, keeping me posted the whole way. When I received the A. formosana nymphs from him, they were packed like fine china, and very well insulated (w/effective heatpack too) for the chilly trip down south to me in Georgia. Since sending the receipt email, he has given good advice/starter tips, and has extended an offer to answer any questions I might have about them. Give the guy an "A" - I recommend working with him - very satisfied overall!

Bought from Paul twice. M. religiosa ooths the first time, and S. limbata nymphs this week. Very professional and accomodating of special requests. Nymphs were well packaged with heat pack and cushioning.

Thanks x2!

Recieved nine acromantis nymphs from Paul he also included two Parva nymphs one acromantis didn't make it but I am fine with that. Packaging definitely absorbed shock for the mantis' stuffed with a lot of cotton and was very warm even on the outside. Will definitely order from Paul again.

Thanks Paul!!

Just got another package from Paul! Got a few more cool additions to the pinned collection and a very cool surprise! I had mentioned wanting to start a few ant colonies and wanted to try P. imparis. The surprise? 3 beautiful P. imparis queens!! No need for me to try finding them here! Thanks again Paul!!

I can highly recommend ismart as well. Shipping was fast, packaging was really good and he threw in two extra. He'll be the first place I check when I'm looking for more.

The Acromantis formosana mantids I received looked very nice and healthy, and they arrived right on time.

Thanks a lot for great service Paul!

I would recommend him to anyone, and I hope we do business in the future

This was my third purchase from Paul (Ismart) in the short time that I have been in the hobby. I ordered 12 nymphs, got more, some had molted in transit (it's the excitement!) without a single problem. Low price, good packing, fast shipment and plenty of good advice. That's probably why so many folks on this thread are repeat customers.
