Excellent customer service

The company handled a problem with the order well and I'll be buying from them again.

Happy healthy snails!

My snails arrived safely and well-packed, and came out of their shells and started to explore right away when I put them in the water. Very happy!

Bright yellow with neat markings similar to yellow racers, but different.

If you're ordering anything living and expect it to look like the pictures, then you should just buy some manmade plastic thing because living things vary.
Do you complain at fast food places? Because you don't get anything that looks like their ad pics!
And sometimes, like with these, they're nicer than the pics!
Packaging was excellent, with each bag (I ordered 6 different kinds of snails) double bagged and so full of oxygen they were like tight balloons. The thick paper towel was water soaked. Each bag was packed tightly into the box so they couldn't bounce around and they were all double wrapped in bubble wrap inside the Styrofoam box insert, that was well worth the price, inside the shipping box.
Shipping, from my ordering, to their collecting the 16 snails of 6 different species, to packing and taking to the USPS was quick! From there, it's out of AquaticMotiv's control and completely on the USPS to do things correctly. For some unknown reason, the
USPS first sent them to Puerto Rico, instead of Reno, and it took 5 days! Which I reported to AquaticMotiv
and they replied within hours, apologized for the USPS screw-up, which was out of AquaticMotiv's control,
and let me know that if there was any problem once I received the snails, they'd have my back. But the snails arrived the next day and all seemed fine.
I've bought plants a few times before, and now snails, and never disappointed.
Francisco is a wonderful human being and quick to reply and help! Thank you again, Francisco!
Highly recommend!
