In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

...but you didn't count them (again), so you can't say that for sure. Max said he counted them, you have (another) baseless claim, I believe him.

Almando. this is the last time I will respond to you. I sent you 2000 roaches you claim I shorted you and as any good business person would do I tried to make it up to you. Everyone I have talked to said i shouldnt have even done that because it seems fishy. I have gone above an beyond trying to make you happy wiith no result. Your story seems to be made up as you go along. I am tired of dealing with you and this thread. I know you got 2000 and you got guarenteed another 1000 because i counted them. Next time somone orders 2000 i will make sure to count to avoid this again. Feed them to your dragons and move on. I am not going to keep fighting with you.

Really your that Pathetic your going to take him to paypal. He supplied you with more than he should of, and you want to take this thread further for what. To get free roaches and your money back now too.
Dude grow up and move on. You keep this up youll be stuck breeding your own stock as no one will sell feeders to you. Typical scamming attitude, thought you learned from your previous threads.

Even if you file a claim on PayPal. As long as Max can prove he shipped something to you he will win. TBH it just seems as if you're trolling this thread.

I have never ordered Roaches, only crickets. I've never counted them and I've been happy with what I got. As long as they lasted and I didn't have to buy again for a while (which was my goal) I was happy. For roaches, they don't eat their eggs since they give live birth so shy of 2000 I'd be happy because they'd eventually grown up and give me more and so on and in a way that's like free roaches.
Max I'd buy from you as well, you seem to be a great seller and went beyond what anyone should.
Almando, if you want to keep this up... start taking a video of you opening then box and COUNTING them, ALL of them, then weighing them... weight is weight, some will be bigger then others and can throw off the scale which is why one needs to count rather then go by weight. Regardless, from what I am getting you're trouble and I do question how old you are by the way you type and go looking for trouble.
By the way, this is going to be my only post on this.

Almando, you have accomplished 1 thing with this thread. you have shown everyone that you are unreasonable and a person not to do business with.

Ok I have to chime in now this is a crazy thread over $100 of bugs. I spend $300-$400 on dubia a month and have purchased from a dozen or more people here and also have 2 full large up and producing colonies to feed my hatchlings.
I have to say this when ever I get a batch from somebody new first thing I do is feed and hydrate with an orange or watermelon because 2-3 days no food, they are dehydrated and empty, a batch of 1000 med could easily gain 60-80 grams in weight over night, same goes for smalls 1000 smalls can easily gain 8-15 grams no problem.
Ive taken many counts and weights before and after hydrating from a dozen suppliers last year and I finally pick out my 2 main suppliers. Nowhere in this thread did anybody mention to feed and hydrate bugs before weighing. 1000 1/4" and under can be in-between 30-50g just depends on average size and if they are full of food and hydrated or not! More than likely the bugs were weighed by the supplier when full and hydrated 2-3 days transit = short in weight till fed and hydrated. This is just my experience in dealing with dubia

This makes a lot of sense!
But as we all know, Almondo doesn't have a whole lot of sense.
The seller COUNTED them! How about you count them instead of "eyeballing" them.
Almondo, you are a pain in the rear customer, an I would never do business with you.
I foresee another twenty pages of nasty Almondo replies just so he can keep the drama going.

Just to point out here, as far as the hydration and weight goes. It makes no difference with how he checked. He had pulled out the couple that were much larger. He then counted out 50, weighed them. Then he weighed the whole batch and did the math. It wouldnt matter as far as counts go if they were all empty or all full. It was just a way to get a rough estimate. As long as they are close in size, it is just an estimate. He could do it again now after feeding and hydrating, and as long as they all are fed/hydrated he should get similar results.
