Was a "handle carefully - glass inside" label or something like that on the box?
I hope she will start laying eggs Skippy. Want to see a report of this ant

But my Diacamma rugosum arrived me last Friday. And until yet they dont lay any eggs. Maybe ist from the stress (I hope so)....

[miszt]

if it was written then it was written in german lol

all good, i've got a refund its a shame first cataglyphis, then sericeus! ah well, i've waited so long now, i've ordered sum weaver ants, wanted those to for a while, and i can get them in garanteed 24hr delivery from here

[Purifier]

When it was written in German, it should like this "Vorsicht - Glas" or "Vorsicht zerbrechlich"...

Then more luck with your weaver ants. Im sure you buy Polyrhachis. But what sub family? illaudata? wolfi? dives? Give me (us) more information ^^

[miszt]

dives and a fairly large colony aswell 250-500, am building their tank now, should be here on thursday

[Purifier]

Wow. 250-500 ..... what basin do you have? I believe you need two....or in a few weeks a second basin
Because Antstore send (from Polyrhachis dives) in most times more ants as ordered. I could read it in the comments. And i had a Polyrhachis dives colony from Antstore last year.

[miszt]

60 x 40 x 40 for now, which should be fine for a while, when i move after new year I'm gona build a 2m high tank with a tree for them

[SteveUK28]

WOW miszt sounds well good.. hope your gonna give us all some pics when they come

[mpir]

all good, i've got a refund ...

If I were you I would complain at the post office. It´s them who should pay for the damage and not Kalyta. It´s really not his fault if the bastards are throwing stuff around when they should really be handeling it with care.

[SteveUK28]

<--agrees with Mpir.. Ive had a fair few thing broken by royal mail.

[miszt]

The problem is that public postal systems say that it is the posters responsibility to insure that a package is strong enough to survive postage

I'm afraid I dont think the package was anywhere near strong enough, a polystirine box, to me, is a slightly odd thing to use, as they are very fragile


I already suggested to Gerhard that he seek compensation from the German mail carrier for the damage, its unlikly he will get it tho

it really is the responsability of the person sending something to insure that it will arrive safley, unless you use a Courier, which is a better option, as they actually look after things!
