A quick review on my latest acquisition:
Species: Hierodula venosa, Hierodula majuscula
Rating: 5 STAR! PERFECT!
Tony is an amazing packer. Fully lined with lots of newspaper, cups secured and baffled, included heat pack.
*I ordered 8 of each, and received 9 of each.
*EVERY CUP INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED AND TAPED.
*Every cup fully lined on the inside for perfect grip.
8 of the 18 did molt in transit with all 8 perfect (these nymphs were starting to vary in their molting intervals, from one to the next, so from experience, I know there's no real way to tell for sure). Survivability is due to the perfect fully lined interiors of his shipping cups.
We had problems w the first courier. They didnt pick the package up from the first authorized dropoff / hold location for 3 days. Then it was opened by the courier and deemed unshippable. It was my choice in courier.
By the time we got the package back to Tony, it was the EIGHTH DAY! ALL ALIVE AND WELL!
Fast forward to this week, and courier #2. Got it here overnight. Tony's pick.
SO...
*FANTASTIC pricing
*PERFECT PACKAGING
*TOP NOTCH COMMUNICATION at all hours
*and an honesty and love for the hobby at par with the old masters in here!
I especially loved the maple leaf motif!
