Default Buying Abroad

Just wandered who has bought supplies(not Reps) from European online sites
I am seriously thinking about ordering a couple of the XL Exo Terra viv's as they are not available here till at least the end of the summer
What are your thoughts and what sites do you all use

Judging by the amount of posts about Exo terras getting smashed in transit in the UK, i doubt they'd make it to the UK in one piece.

As hogboy said, posting appears to be quite risky with exo terras (and it would probably be very expensive as well to post from Europe). I would be inclined to buy them from the Hamm show and drive them back home yourself.

cheers

I've bought stuff from ZooPlus and ENT, both in Germany, and had excellent service from both of them. Much better prices than the UK, better quality products in the case of ENT (terrarium plants), and quick deliveries.
