ANTSTORE World of Ants

[deadmeat30]

hey everyone, this is mainly for people in the uk, but anyone can join in. im interested in the how many people from the uk keep ants. im considering setting up a small business to bring in the basic supplies of ant farms. i love the ant store range of items in the shop, but the postage doesnt make it cost effective unless ur making a big order!

lets disscus the uk market here

Hi Alan, i like your idea (but I'm not from the UK )

You have a point there, it is expensive to send a package (or to receive one) not only for the people in the UK, for the Belgium people to.
We have a 'deal' with some friends, we order stuff together so we can split the cost.

lol, i just wanna make ant keeping more accessable to people. im planning things, and sourcing items. i wouldnt want to take business away from ant store, just make more people aware of the great fun it is to keep ants.

What can I doing ,when I am only one anter in Slovakia (without MPir ,he is Slovenian) ,to Slovakia is cost for 1kg- 29 euro (: ):

[deadmeat30]

wow thats very costly, im just sourcing my products at the minute, seeming pretty good! samples are enroute to me.

That is indeed costly. I'm not sure what you can do about that Skippy, nothing i guess...

[Skippy]

I don´t understand that ,to Hungary or to Slovenija is the cost circa 20-25 euro (I don´t know) and to Slovakia (it is nearer from Germany) is the cost like that. 28-29 eur = cca 1000 Skk and If I want some ant colony it is very cheap for me (for example ,I want L.niger (to 10 euro-)) I get more cash for post like for ants.

Thanks ,Skippy

I know what you are saying Skippy and i get your point only i think there is nothing you can do, if you like to buy from Antstore you need to pay the shipping cost.

[Kale^^]

I ordered products for 42€ and the shipping cost me 42,99€ (6,9 kilos).Long way to finland from germany.

[JimmyVe]

Damn, I'm glad i live a lot closer to Germany.

[deadmeat30]

heh heh, that sucks when postage costs more than the contents.

on the store front, still a few things im sourcing out, is there any spesifics people want me to try and get?

A basis of the forwarding expenses are the current tariff of the haulage companies.
