Welcome to my new ant shop! I'm going to be selling some ants here.
Pickup/Shipping: Local pickup is in the California Bay Area. Priority shipping is available for about $10.00. Shipping formicaria may cost more. For local pickup, the payment will be in cash. For shipping, the payment must be through PayPal Friends and Family. If not, a small PayPal fee will be charged.
DOA Policy: Can refund for the ants if the customer sends me a video of the dead colony within 2 hours of arrival. I will package the ants to the best of my ability, but shipping will not be refunded as I cannot control what conditions they will be going through during shipping. No refunds or returns for formicaria.
Contacts: If interested but can't access Formiculture, email lhnguyens07@gmail.com. My Discord username is bmb1bee if you prefer a quicker way of reaching out.
I also accept trades and offers. PM if interested in up-to-date pics of my ants!
Also, BUYER MUST BE IN CALIFORNIA, or have a permit if from another state. (Does not apply for formicariums and other nonliving supplies.)
