Mari Felipe, Philippines
I have had a relationship for a long time, which is why I sent payment before the parcel was sent. Mari asked me to send money first as badly needed for family. Parcel received with bad quality butterflies, eaten by dermestid beetles. The parcel was full of them on arrival eating away at the butterflies! She promised to replace and as a gesture of goodwill I even sent more money to cover the postage cost. Yet after many, many (!) months of chasing, nothing. I strongly recommend you do NOT SEND PAYMENT upfront. Only after you receive and are happy.

Sorry to read about this incident. Like you I have had a long relationship with her without problems.

Sadly, over time, some people forget about the long-term relationship and goodwill.

If Mari does the right thing I will update.
Re: Mari Felipe, Philippines
I am very happy to say that Mari Felipe has sent replacements and is once again her usual honest and reliable self. She genuinely had some challenges to overcome and has worked very hard to preserve her honesty and reputation. I admire and respect that. Thank you very much Mari Felipe

Re: Mari Felipe, Philippines
Interesting. How do I get in contact with her or similar individuals? I'm new here by the way, and am eager to connect with insect suppliers, particularly from my own country of the Philippines and those in neighboring countries - a task which thus far has proven difficult prior to my discovery of networks such as this one.
My collection consists primarily of material that I have caught myself, though it is only limited to the common species that are reliably encountered in the forested areas that are readily accessible to me (such as my backyard and my university grounds). Recently, however, I've had a desire to get my hands on some of the rarer material. Then I saw this thread, which was what prompted me to make an account and seek the advice of those more experienced than me in this regard.
Many thanks!
