Just venting as after setting up 3 enclosures for some g.pulchripes but now the breeder doesn't have any and nowhere I can find in the EU has anything other than slings. So I am a sad spooder.

On top of that one of my metatarsals has become inflamed which combined with stuff points to arthritis... and I'm in my 30s lol.

Thanks, I'm now considering this but I cannot fathom how postage is £43, especially when I live in the republic of Ireland (down the road so to speak lol) whereas I can order from mainland UK on a different site for £15 next day although spiders are a bit smaller. so while CFTN would ideally be my first choice I'm a little offput by the seemingly high postage costs. Maybe I just bite the bullet?

Blame Brexit.

I would except 1 mainland UK shop can post for £15 next day, whereas on the physically same island £43. I'm guessing they use different services.

Also Brexit!

Have you spoken to them about it? That may be the standard EU rate.

Hi
you need to select your country from the drop down menu in your shopping cart and it will adjust the shipping cost to £12.The default setting is £43 but it will override it once you do that.
