yeah, weird thing is when I went to post my Tarantula I did stupidly say it was something live, though I hadn't said T yet.

So she's some caked up girl(make-up, set to slut.) looking pretty gormless but she turns the monitor round and says is it any of these? Well I looked and crickets, locusts etc weren't even on the allowed list. It was basically all worms and some really odd aquatic inverts.

But yeah there were mealies, earth worms, dendros, lugworms(as in from the beach), i think mussels were on it oddly.

But yeah no crickets or locusts, I just said it's a box of mealies. She's like "you sure its those?" and i go "yeah, you want to check?" and she just squirms n goes "ewww no it's ok."

it's not really mixed experiences tbh, I've never known an invert to sent by anything other than RMSD.

Not sure what other companies are available for private individuals, but it;s not like their rules on inverts would be different.

Officially TNT can let you post animals but their next day is something crazy like £25.
