ANTSTORE World of Ants

[mysiak]

i bought it from Radiss, delivered after one month (by post office - they lost one package..). it is well built, nice and ants like it they moved from the test tube during the first night in new home. queen started laying eggs - around 6 now.

Nice.. I ordered some ants and formicariums from Radiss and they still haven't arrived.. over 2 weeks now. And it's by courier..

[mysiak]

i think that courier used by Radiss is some kind of service provided by Poland post office, not a company like DHL etc. so probably can take more time to deliver. try to wait for another week and if nothing comes then contact Radiss (he will send it again)..

who is radiss???

[mysiak]

radiss is owner of one shop in Poland. seems that mods changed all names of this shop with Radiss name.

type this to google and first link is the shop:
"formicary site:pl"

We never change names or web addresses.

[mysiak]

so if anyone interested, radiss is owner of mrowkoyad.pl

I ordered and received second time around (as my first one also went missing in the post) Glass Y-tong set up from the same place. It is very good currently keep my Pheidole Indica colony in this set, and they are thriving. The only thing I would say with this set up is that it is not expandable and when the colony reaches 500+ I will have to transfer to bigger nest. Also if you keep small Pheidole species in this set up be aware they can escape through ventilation holes. To prevent this smear a small amount of vasseline around the circumference of the vent holes.

I have also put an enquiry for bespoke glass Ytong as they say they are able to make one to your specifications. This was over 3 weeks ago and I have not heard anything? Not the best at responding to e-mails and enquiries!

Does anyone know of anyone else that can make Y-tongs to order?

[JimmyVe]

No, but they are easy to make yourself.

[sianhilton]

Probably, but the one I had in mind involves glass basin attached to the Y-tong itself therefore quite as straight forward and I do not have the time myself.

[Skippy]

Yes , posting services sucks , he lost much of ants and formicariums by post ...
... and about these low e-mail responding , Radiss is making all formicariums myself , able to make only 2 per day maximum , many buyers , - no time , sorry

[sianhilton]

If demand was so high would it not be good to subcontract some of the work out? About e-mail responses an e-mail saying I will get back to you would be good. The products including the ants seem to me good value for money. I just think he needs to re-think his model. But obviously if this is just a side hobby maybe not.

I still havent got anything back from the order, its ben 5-6 weeks since i paid and i can't even get in touch with radiss.
