Sending Snails In The Post

[alistairw]

Hi all,

I have about 100 golden apple snails running around my tank since the originals bread. I need to get rid of most of them. A LFS has agreed to take some one they are a bit bigger; currently less than 5mm.

I would like to advertise them on here and FB but unsure what the best thing to do is regarding postage? It would be the easiest way forward due to work commitments.

Is it best to put in a sealed bag (like when you buy from a LFS), place in a box with packing around the bag and send recorded delivery? Do I need to inform Royal Mail that there is livestock in the package.

Your advice would be appreciated!

Al

How much would you want for all of them ?? I have a 6 x 2 x2 and im looking to get some snails.

To be honest, I was looking to just get rid of them free of charge. Just wanted to know how to send them in the post. There are 50 plus of them - essentially 2 batches of eggs.

Ps, obviously I will be charging postage and packaging
