Richard's Seashells

Post by hermitsinnc » Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:54 am

We just received our order of shells from https://www.richardsseashells.com/home-page- .

I ordered 8 shells on Tuesday, July 12 (at about 11 pm). The order shipped on Friday the 15th and arrived on Thursday the 21st.

All 8 shells arrived undamaged. They were packaged in two smaller ziplock baggies inside a larger ziplock baggie. That was cushioned with lots of crumpled brown paper. The box did have a 'fragile, handle with care' sticker on it.

Here are the shells I ordered, with their advertised and actual opening sizes:

Neither Maxwell nor Mitchell has shown any interest yet, but Kendall tried on both jades and settled on the larger one (it's really too big for her).
edit: Maxwell is wearing the smallest green turbo.
3 PPs: Maxwell (small), Mitchelle (medium/small), Kendall (medium/large)
also have 10gal freshwater fishtank w/ neon tetras, pygmy cories, and nerite snails
