Online buying????

Debbiemomma77 · Mar 31, 2014

So I plan on buying more CUC but I want to buy them online, what is the process of this? Will they be shipped to my house? Or what?

Will be shipped to your home, but shipping costs could be high due to mandatory overnight shipping of live organisms.

Yea of course, but the cuc are so much cheaper online, its worth it

It depends on what you get for the CUC, there are some places that offer 2-3 day shipping and is not as high. Probably $20-$30 cheaper in some cases. I've done this and haven't had an issue. It depends on the weather and how well the USPS lady likes you.

I would say yes. It is worth it. Even if you pay for overnight shipping.

If you buy from either of those 2 sources, please inspect the critters very very well! Do not add any water from the bags to your tank. Digitate Hydroids & Aptasia are common pests. This has been my experience

Okay thanks for the tip!!!

I appreciate the concern

I would say be aware that the snails and crabs might be way smaller than expected. I ordered from one web site and my Pink Spotted Goby, who leaves all of my crabs and snails alone, had a field day gobbling up the newly introduced critters b/c they were so small.
