best place to buy a few things

[freedeemed]

Where is the best place to buy:
1) Peppermint Shrimp
2) Crabs (hermit / nonhermit)
Saltwaterfish.com seem to be decent, but the shipping costs are currently pretty rediculous
Thanks!

You're going to have to search around b/c swf doesn't allow links to other competitor sites. Good luck.

to be honest i've looked and SWF.com in actually very competive. Thier prices are pretty comparable and the shipping is very expensive anywhere due to the overnight need for live animals.
My suggestion is maybe get with a friend and purchase the $75.00 needed for free shipping at swf.com. Thats usually what i do if i only need something small.

i totally agree. there are some sites that don't have a requirement for shipping, but will charge you upwards of 30-40 for freight. instead of freight i'd rather buy 30-40 worth of inverts, fish, or even copepods and hermit shells.

In addition to providing great specimens and free shipping (minimum order required), SWF provdies this forum where we can discuss and advacne the hobby.
Please be respectful of that and realize we will not allow discussions of competitor sites.
