ANTSTORE World of Ants

[SteveUK28]

Why are the postage charges so high even if you buy something small??

I mean if you just need a bottle of honey and a feeding dish.. why the need to charge a minimum of 15 euros??

Wouldnt it make more sence to stick it in a jiffy bag and charge less. Surely you would make more buisness doing that...

I have spoken to them before about this and I got told its not them its the company that ships them out or something like that

[SteveUK28]

fair enough for large things like tanks i can understand using someone else.. but for littler things they could easily get some jiffy bags in and send them themselves.. might be a little bit extra work but im sure they would get loads more business from it.

[KiamCameron]

Oh and they can do that to but i think they said if they die there will be no refund but not 100% sure on that..

[SteveUK28]

its not ants i want.. just things like dishes.. i can live with paying high postage for ants to have a guarnate but not dishes...

for 10ml bottle of honey i need to pay 26euros

[miszt]

yeah it is a bit silly!!

But why pay 26€ you can get a jar of Honey for 2€ from your local super market lol

[mzfckr]

ok it is bit stupid of honey, but i cant get 20mm hose here so again - shipping price is big.

[SteveUK28]

yes i can buy honey from the supermarket lol and i do.. But not the dishes or protein jelly... ive already looked and nowhere local to me sells it.

try to buy in bulk,its more economical,to get a small amount of honey from antstore all the way to the UK is crazy,what i do is wait till there are a few items i want/need and buy them all at once that way post costs arnt as much cause there are more items,there are a few sites in the uk where you can get bits and bobs this also is cheaper ie cornish crispa,martin goss and edu-sci

[miszt]

ebay

[ducatiman]

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

[ratgreen]

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?

[mzfckr]

someone needs to send a letter to them about this!

[Kale^^]

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.
