Smile FS Red Cherry Shrimps


I have a bunch of tank raised red cherry shrimps for sale. These are juvenile shrimps, I would say about 0.4-0.5 inches more or less. They are very healthy. Younger shrimps shipped better than the older ones.

I'm asking $2.00 per shrimp plus Priority Mail S & H. I would say about $9 for up to 10 shrimps shipped.

Default cherries

I hate to be real picky but Id like to get some cherries however I had bad experiences with shipping on these guys. Can I be assured there will be extras shipped to cover any possible losses? Cause lets say I get 20 and only 12 make it, i could have went to my local LFS at that point. LEt me know.

I understand your concern. Priority Mail will do just fine and it's the most cost effective method to ship them. If you want live delivery guarantee, then go with next day, of course you will end up paying more for shipping cost.

For the price that I'm selling, I think it's very reasonable, I can't give you extra. All I can guarantee is that I will do my very best to make sure they get to you safely.

If you think it's safer and cheaper to get from your LFS, may be that's the best bet for you. You are the one to make the call.

There's a trade off for everything, cheap and no risk doesn't come together most of the time

Not to burst your bubble but at this site those shrimp sale for $25 for 12 including priority shipping.

Just becuase you charge more for over night shipping doesnt mean they wont die. Do you ship your shrimp with moss? Who on this site can I ask about your quality of shrimp?

I hope you do well with them.

Oh and if I get overnight then you will cover the losses and ship more out priority at your cost.

ive always had great luck shipping shrimp via 2 day. i dunno why there's such a debate unless the packing is just plain poor.

JMHO.

Let me say it again, if you can find somewhere that sells the shrimps cheaper, PLEASE DO BUY from them. Why waste your and my time on this?

I'm a hobbyist and my income doesn't depend on selling $2/shrimp to make a living, whether you buy it or not, it doesn't really matter. All I ask is if you don't want to buy, DO NOT thread crap and waste everyone's time.
