ebay ;)
miszt is right,also i get stuff from work ie hoses ,silicon,etc etc asks at your place of work too, im sure there are things you can use
yer i use cornish crispa alot (they got a website and an ebay shop) so its really good, i would still much rather buy the stuff of antstore, such as dishes etc, but the postage is way to high, as steve said jiffy bag for small/non perishable items would be cheap??antstore?
someone needs to send a letter to them about this!
I hate the huge postals too, I have said this before, i bought stuff from antstore for 41 € and paid 42 € for postals.. Which sax.. I need more PTFE and test tubes but i'm not gonna pay the 26 € and above for stupid postals.
I agree,i wait till ineed a few things but always find i have forgotten something when the orders gone through and it is usually something small that can be sent easily. Any chance that you can get an answer off them Jimmy.
What do i need to ask ? Why the shipping costs ore that high ? I will give it a go... :)
Well we know why its cos they use courier.. What id like you to ask Jimmy, or for them to do is to add the option of it being sent via letter, and the responsibility being firmly on the buyer not antstore.. so if it arrives damaged its up to the buyer to get a replacement not antstore..
But TBH i dont think that dishes and food n things are about to break in a letter.. Give it a try jimmy :D
Regards :D
Sorry to be a pain Jimmy,but we are not bothered about the shipping cost of live ants and breakables,that is not a problem.We are just asking if small single things can be posted in padded envelopes.Antstore would probably sell a lot more abroad if they used this method.I would definately buy from them a lot more.I would not pay shipping costs for a length of tubing or connecter pipes but i definately would buy if i had to just pay for postage and packing.
Don't be sorry i understand what you all are talking about.
I'm just a Mod, i need to pay it to if i order something :).
(Answer from Antstore)
In the past we have sent small parts by letter dispatch. But lot of customers gave us a feedback that they not received the package. We had no control that they where telling the truth. With letter dispatch they do not need to sing for receiving it. We always did send new packages.
Now, we are willing to send small parts in letter dispatch but only at own risk from the customer.
Also in the forwarding expenses we earn nothing, there are the costs of packing, shipping and personnel.
So i understand the people of Antstore to.
I hope you're questions ore answered.
