I am seeing ads in the classifieds daily from "Bugshippers.com" offering live or dried insects. When you enter the website they claim to offer "Buterfly" and "Beatles", both misspelled. I am going to steer clear of this company but I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on them. Thank you.

On his website the spelling is correct, I suppose they use misspelled words in the header to draw attention.

The Insectnet administrator posted a "Bad Trade" post urging buyers to beware of them today in the classifieds

From the FAQ section of the site:
A: We work with Western Union and Money Gram, where you will receive a 30% increase in the total amount of pills. Another option could be paying through Bitcoins, where you will receive 15% increase in the total amount of pills. No other methods are accepted at the moment.
If a US dealer can't take credit card then Run away.........

I did a search of their phone number and it is also tied to a website selling medical marijuana out of Alaska. No question that these ads have no place on insectnet and are most likely part of a scam. Thanks for all of the feedback, which shows the value of this forum once again.

They can't even get their name straight. In one place it says Bug Shippers USA and another Bug Shopers USA (misspelled).

Yes I have warned every members of the Classifieds because their website seems to be a total scam.
This said, it is a very elaborate scam, their website looks real until you look very closely to details.
Scammers are starting to be more and more "pro", that's why our forum is very useful... buyers beware.

Let me say this now: I've bought from many people and dealers. I've not once been scammed because of Insectnet. Thousands of dollars a year for about 9 years. Thank you Insectnet!

Agreed! Insectnet has been a valuable asset to the insect industry. The suppliers list really makes buying decisions much easier. Another Thank You to Insectnet.
