Hermit Crabs on Amazon?

The write up says purple pincher but neither crab shown is a PP. They say not to order if it is too cold or hot which is a plus in their favor. And the natural shells also a plus. And they know they need to be in pairs or more, also a plus. But the crab supplies they offer/suggest/claim as safe are inappropriate (KK, etc). They also dont say it is overnight shipping so I am wondering how they are going to manage this without stressing the crab. They also do not know proper care, they are saying colored sand and a KK are safe and healthy, shells as water dishes, and so on. I would have a lot more questions for them before I would consider an order.That 2nd one seems to have a minimum order of 50 crabs!
