I have just been emailed by Edu Sci informing me that my ant has been shipped- does anyone know whether that means she'll arrive today, or Sunday, or Monday?
Need to know to instruct my queen reception manager when to stay in the house as I am away this weekend. I'm really hoping she shan't arrive till Monday. Those with experience with this company please reply, I'd be so very obliged. Thank you
Beth

She could arrive tomorrow as normally for me my ants arrive the day after they say that they have shipped, but it can always differ and there can always be delays in postage etc, so no one can give you a precise day that they will arrive, but normally 1-2 days after they say that they have been shipped  . Also there is no post on Sundays. Jolon |

No post on Sundays!! I love that. Thank Jolon. I just got a reply to my email from Scott saying that he thinks it'll be tomorrow, so I'm positively delighted. Shall I instruct my sister to take her out of her box and cover her tube in foil and then leave her in the airing cuboard?

When you get her she will be in a padded envelope and I don't think there is any need to put her in the airing cupboard as she is a native English specie so room temperature is fine.

The British postal service is always the same, slow when you are waiting for something to arrive. So try not to think about it and it will arrive all the quicker, usually within 3 days |

Absolutely. She should arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed, but I shan't be there, so my sister will put her in my bedroom where it's quiet and warm. I hope she isn't dead by the time I get home  My sister is squeamish and won't touch her. Oh well, I'm sure she has enough air and water. Thanks for your help, people. Nice to meet you, Zarbi. |

She will be fine don't worry go have fun and your queen will have a nice rest for when you get back. It might be just aswell to keep her in the test tube till she gets a few workers anyway.

Hi Beth You will probably receive the queen on Saturday as I had a similar experience of mine being shipped on the Friday. I did give up the ghost at one point but she was delivered at around 3pm  still it was better than her arriving on the Monday  good luck on the delivery arriving on Saturday |

Well, when I ordered from Edu-sci, I believe I ordered mine on the Friday, I didn't get mine until Monday at around 15:00 which was slightly disappointing.. But at least I got her and she is well and fit.. with two small workers. Good luck Beth  |

I think the main concern is that they arrive to you safe and well. At least there are no postal strikes |
