@ Case: Whoa, I had to read that last post twice, and English is my native tongue!

The quickest and easiest way to work this out would be to go to the shop section of the site, register and then put in what it is you want to buy - the cost to send is automatically calculated at the bottom of the page.

With the largest ants out there, you will probably need to make your own farm anyway, but this site defo has the right equipment for the job. For really big ants, you can;t get away with a small set up, you need to actually create a large tank for them.

If you look under building materials in the shop you'll find a wealth of options. Your best bet is to post a thread stating what ants it is you want to keep and what the recommended set up is...

I checked the DHL site. An insured parcel (up to 120x60x60cm) to the US costs:
<5kg: €32
5-10kg: €42
10-20kg: €62

A small package (up to 90x60x60cm, <2kg, not insured) costs €12.90

I don't know about customs.

Forget shipping and customs fees, after surfing the DHL site shipping to the US looks to be a paperwork nightmare (something akin to insurance policies and income tax forms). There's no way someone without prior experience or a good coach could a) figure out which forms are required and b) stand a snowball's chance in Hades of filling them out correctly on the first try. So much for free trade...

I think, that is not so cheap. customs duty + extra etc.

you can order and pay our items by Antstore.
we are packing all together.
but you must assign a pick up service by DHL.
Then we have not the risk and surprise, that we get some weeks later a high invoice from the supplier ;-)

greetings Martin :D
