I'm considering getting a number of the critters to cut shipping cost. Anyone want to buy some for $4.50 each + shipping (priority or first class mail, your choice) just post the number you want in this thread until 8/17.
They will be available for shipment 9/1 to allow them time to eat (hoping I have enough other snails on hand) before being shipped again.

Discounts would depend of the number wanted, but not for less than 50. Larger numbers of assassin snails would require me to buy more feeder snails to allow them a food break between transits.

This is probably a dumb question, but why should someone piggyback onto your order instead of buying it themselves?

Possible that seller is only selling in 50+ quantities.

Next is they are coming from across seas and probaly make an easier ship if they are together.

I have seen other snails that are sold in large qty and thought about getting but asking how many everybody wanted 1st. I thought was a great idea and opportunity for more ppl.

Group buys make for much better pricing as you buy in bulk.

Since the OP is offering them for $4.50 and not a scaling price, I'd have to assume he/she isn't getting a discount. I suppose this does make sense if the snails are being shipped from overseas though.

It's also possibly cheaper to buy from this person, seeing as how others might charge more. These snails aren't really being offered by many people to begin with, which makes this a good opp. to purchase them.
