i am ordering my first lot of rat fuzzies online next monday 27th, and was woindering if anybody else wanted to put an order in with me so that the could share postage costs etc
i will be ordering from this site:

http://www.reptileexpress.co.uk/Reptile_Express/Frozen_Foods.html

i found it on rfuk, and people are raving about it, here is the link to the topic on rfuk if u want to read it
http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forums/food-classifieds/296368-frozen-foods-great-prices-packed-16.html

they seem quite reliable on food prices- it will be frozen food only that i will be ordering

An order for me from both places, for example.
50 reg mice, 20 rat weaners, 20 med rats, 20 large rats, 200 pinkies.

Tsm Reptiles, mice = £26. Rep Express = £37
Tsm Weaners = £13 RepE = £26
Tsm Smalls = £16.50 RepE = £37 (25) (TSM are 100g - 180g, RepE are 81g-150g)
Tsm Meds = £19 RepE = £43 (25) (again, tsm's are bigger on average)
Tsm Large = £22 RepE = £45 (25)
Tsm Pinkies = £16 per 100, RepEx = 24.50 or 27 for slightly larger, and the only advantage there is you can get specifically small pinkies 1g -2g

Out of that lot, the only advantage to RepEx is they do Jumbo rats at 350g-400g, but they are £67 for 25.

So, my order from tsm would be £128.50, which means i get free delivery.
From RepEx is would be £237.


There you go, i have done the maths for you.

To be fair, only a fool would buy from RepEx with those prices.

Incidentally, RepEx prices dont include delivery, unless its already free.

That is bloody expensive!! TSM are nearly half that price!!
100 pinkies are 16 quid 28 delivered, thats 2 quid more than their non delivered rate.

That site is nice if you want to order small stuff I guess as the postage cost is nice and low but if your ordering huge amounts tsm or a&n work out cheaper. *saves link*

i just ordered 100 quids worth of food, TSM reptiles all the way. cant beat them.

TSM!

depending on where i order from postage is either already cheap or if i get people to order with i get free postage, so it works out great for everyone lol

Sharing online orders is a great way of saving pennies.

Postage is always extortionate
