I will need your location to calculate expedited shipping (I am located in Ontario, Canada).
First come first serve!
PM me if interested.

*** Please note: Buyers must accept full responsibility and risks upon buying. Although I'd be happy to accommodate any shipping preferences, it is your responsibility to know the risks and implications involved in importing these insects from across the border.

TOS
I am located in Ontario, Canada. Please inquire for shipping costs (I use Xpresspost or expedited service). I accept PayPal payments only and payment must be made in advance.
Shipping at buyer's own risk, no live arrival guarantee. I cannot take responsibility for DOA resulting from shipping and delivery delays or any other reasons that are beyond my control. I pack all my inverts in the best possible way and add insulation in the parcel when needed, but will gladly follow the buyer's instructions if they have a preference for packing. These are very hardy species and I rarely have DOA, however if there is DOA the buyer must let me know immediately (6 hr. from acceptance of parcel, buyer must be able to sign the package at first delivery attempt) and attach photos. I will try to resolve the situation.
All sales are final. No Refunds. No trades. No discounts. No price shaming.

I forgot to update this ad - Hormetica strumosa, Blaberus giganteus "Honduras", Blaberus parabolicus "Colombia", Eublaberus "ivory", and Gyna Centurio have sold out.
Still have plenty of emeralds (Pseudoglomeris magnifica) and giant bark roaches (Phortioeca sp.) available.

 
Just so everyone knows, you need a permit to import insects into the U.S., both from the USDA and FWS. If you illegally import wildlife, the penalty is severe. Wizentrop, make sure you know the regulations on your end too.

 
You have nothing in the ad about permits. All you say is that you're from Canada, it's the buyer's risk, and you don't offer LAG. Permitting is a huge process that I don't think many people realize they need to get BEFORE importing, or know where to get them from. I'm sorry for wanting to make sure no one here ends up in prison.

 
I'm sorry, but what is your point?
The ad clearly states "...it is your responsibility to know the risks and implications involved in importing these insects from across the border."
So indeed, it is buyer's responsibility to do their homework. I appreciate your mission and your passionate comments helping to keep everyone informed about importing!
I suspect your motives are different though. You represent a business selling exotic animals.

You seem to be under the impression that if roaches are sold within the US, this makes it legal. For some common species, such as the ones used as feeders, that would be the case. However, exotic new-to-the-hobby species? They are not yet in the USDA and USFWS system, making the sale of those species illegal even within the US borders.  
Of course, if you have institutional or exhibition permits, you are in the clear. I'm willing to bet you don't have those.
