Triops-Germany

[AutumnHermie]

Has anyone ever had any luck with triops-Germany?

Here's there website: http://www.triops-germany.de/index.php?cPath=8_5

Emailed the guy and he said that he ships to the the U.S, but was wondering if any of you guys have ordered from him before.

I wouldn't do it. They have no live guarantee, and they could take like a month to get here. They could get stuck in customs and end up all DOA, which of course would be just horrible. I can't imagine taking 20 exotics out of a box all dead, what a nightmare.

Warning: That shop is banned in our German-hermit-crab-forum for several reasons!
Many of our users had trouble with their orders: Dead or ill crabs, now answers from the shop-owner and so on. :roll:
I wouldn't order there, not even here from Germany.

Other groups have banned the owner from their forums. He feeds foods known to be toxic, and many people received shipments of dead crabs due to shipping/packaging errors.

I personally would NEVER order from this person.

I know of at least 60 dead crabs that arrived in late summer because he "brown boxed" them through the normal mail and they took two to three weeks to arrive. This is also an illegal practice - all foreign animals sent into the United States must have the proper permits and be sent via air freight to a handful of airports that have the customs people in place to inspect the shipment. One shipment can run several thousand dollars between the airline cost and the fees. He's circumventing these fees by dropping them in the normal mail and hoping that customs doesn't catch the box - which, by the way, if they do - the buyer is on the hook for the fines and possible jail time for smuggling.

This makes me so

Me, too.
Too many people had trouble with this shop and it's owner. Many Hermits died.
And it sounds like this shop did not get better since the shop and owner named from our german LHC forum.
And in my opinion he has too many animals in too small tanks (see the shop Facebook page or You tube Account.)

I would not support him, too
