Hi guys I recently bought an akai ryu Venus flytrap from predatory pants.com and they had sale for them being 7 dollars each so I bought two and I total it was 14 dollars for two plants and with shipping and handling 20 dollars so wasn't that a great deal I think so what your opinion when they arrive I will take a picture of the two plants

Happy growing

That seems like way too much for shipping, unless they were shipped in heavy pots. The plants were cheap, though. Overall I'd say you did ok.

$6 for shipping is cheap compared to shipping in the EU, you usually need to pay between €7,50 - €12,50 for shipping here.

Oh, I thought they meant shipping was an additional $20. If your total was $20, that was a good deal!

They have pretty reasonable prices. I ordered three sundews from them recently, and the shipping cost was what you would expect, but my order got a bit more expensive since I also bought the heat packs. Their Heli's are a bit overpriced IMO though.

They have great shipping rates. Only 5 bucks, no matter how many plants. They don't have much flytraps or helis or cephs, but in spring, they have mike wang plants, and they have a nice selection of neps, and drosera
