If I posted this in the wrong section, could one of thenmods or admins move this? Thanks!
I found this website called antkeepingdepot and it’s really caught my attention for the reasonable costs and huge variety. I just wanted to know if anyone had some exprience with this website before purchasing anything. Thanks!

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

AKD ships from Australia, so lower costs for some products may be offset by higher costs for shipping. Customers based in the US can order supplies, but not live ants.

Thanks for the info and I am aware that they won’t ship ants, I was talking about some of the formicatiums that they had.

All the products they sell are manufactured by other companies. AKD just buys them and offers them all for sale in one place. Consequently, you should research and seek opinions on specific products or manufacturers.

I ordered a few formicariums and an outworld. No complaints about them. I believe they keep inventory of what they have listed because my order came super fast, but their prices are a little higher than what is listed on manufacturer's websites like AntKit. If I remember from my AntKit order there was a bit of a wait for them to actually make it then send it, so If you want something fast and don't mind a slightly higher price I would recommend AntKeepingDepot and they also have a wider selection than I could find myself.
