Springs in Ut?

I'm having a hard time swallowing shipping on Springtails being nearly as much as I'd pay for a frog.

Anyone in the Salt Lake-ish area have a culture for sale/trade?

Tuckinrim, Jex, and SmackoftheGods all have them I believe; you could pm one of them. Post it on the UT board and you will probably get a fast response.

Best,

Yeah Josh, I just had an order come in from you guys, adding in some springtails would have doubled the shipping cost. It nearly made me cry.

Sent you a PM laylow. I'm in Sugarhouse/Millcreekish area so we're pretty close!

I'm guessing your order didn't include any live insects so your first shipping quote was for UPS Ground and then when you added the springtail culture, UPS ground disappeared since your order contained a live insect.

On the checkout shipping screen you can choose "1 package" or "2 packages" when your order contains live insects and dry goods. Sometimes separating the shipment into two shipments is cheaper.
