U.K. Invert Nation Review

We recently purchased from Invert Nation and had an appaling experience all round -
I ordered 4 millipedes and received a notification of shipment
When they arrived the box was extremely poorly labelled and the millipedes were sent with no heat pack they were all curled up and almost dead because they were cold
Not only that I was sent the incorrect species - I emailed invert nation and the guy called me immediately to tell me that the ones I had ordered were 'back ordered' and were never actually in stock he also preceeded to tell me that he'd actually done me a favour by sending this other variety as they were worth more money (a complete lie they are listed as same price)
No apology or anything - all I wanted was what I ordered and I was never asked if I wanted an alternative?
He's since updated his website with emporer scorpions which he also had on back order - so he doesn't actually have any?
He tried to also blame his website for me being sent the wrong millipedes -
Avoid at all costs - this company will rip you off and lie to you :mad:

Thanks for that, I was looking at his website last night.
I have a feeling we brought some bits off him at the Bedford Invert show last year, hence why I had his site on my favourites list & was looking at it.

Thanks for the heads up.
Im sorry you had a bad experience
Regards Konstantin
Thanks @Konstantin... They sell tarantulas to and I wouldnt wish anyone to purchase from them - I've also seen an unboxing video on YouTube when someone purchased a tarantula from him and that was very badly packed :(

His website has very little on there considering he keeps claiming to always be adding new stock - save your money and buy from someone reputable :)

Thanks for the heads up i was browsing their site on Friday and nearly purchased an emperor scorpion

So glad I didn't now
I'm glad you didn't either.. You wouldn't of received it... He most probably would have sent you an Asian forest instead and told you its the same thing
It's a joke to sell stock you don't even have :(

I ordered a male and female emperor scorpion off of him. I'm hoping they are male and female now. They're definitely emperor's though, I've had them verified by someone. Id not order from him again though because they were posted, without a heat pack, to Scotland!
