Thanks :) (No trades, just sales, sorry) •••••••••••••••••• Note: I also no longer seem to get notifications from ants online messages (despite having notifications set to on) so texting me will be easier/quicker. •••••••••••••••••• Pick up is from Lalor, 3075, Vic. •••••••••••••••••• For pick up or postage- •••••••••••••••••• 1.

I can post to VIC, SA, ACT, NSW and QLD. •••••••••••••••••• Postage is done Monday mornings to ensure they arrive to you asap (usually next day/early Wednesday) •••••••••••••••••• Very important - 1. Just from my experience as a hobby keeper of 4yrs, not all queens are going to lay during the colder months/or even just the season (including proven queens with workers). If you don't want to wait for brood, please go for queens with brood already. •••••••••••••••••• 2. I'm an insect breeder/seller of 5.5yrs now with 500+ insects shipped across most of Australia without a single death. This also applies to my ant queens shipped over 3yrs. Ants don't always handle postage stress very well however. Whilst I do all I can on my end to ensure their safety, I'm not responsible for how packages are handled by Australia Post or how queens/brood react to the stress of postage (whether queens stress eat brood or die themselves) •••••••••••••••••• 3. I pay for extra insurance on large orders, but Aus post doesn't cover insect deaths, just lost/damaged parcels. Just keep that in mind. So far none have been lost/damaged either! •••••••••••••••••• 4. All my queens are quarantined for 2-3 weeks before being listed to ensure they're healthy. I also retain queens that I believe are acting oddly/not as energetic as I'd like. I never ship out ants I believe are unwell. I'd rather they potentially die in my care than to disappoint a buyer like that. •••••••••••••••••• 5. I provide a Google doc caresheet for anyone interested (sent via text message as Gumtree doesn't allow links) and I am happy to provide support after purchasing if needed (even months down the line. I don't mind!) •••••••••••••••••• Feel free to ask any questions you may have :)
