Best place to buy shells?
I need to purchase some more shells for my 2 hermit crabs. Right now they both wear 1 inch (opening) shells and I need to buy some that are a bit bigger. What are the best places to buy good shells at a low cost (including shipping), and what sizes do you think I should buy? I'm still relatively new to this part of owning crabs and I don't want to screw it up!

I had a card from Ken Lipe, he has amazing choice of shells and the best prices. I think @Xenocrab has the same card, if she sees this maybe she can insert a picture of the card. Or if you go on eBay his username is mirrormaker. Just send him a message of what sizes you need and he can help you.

Do you know if they ever have free shipping, or how much you have to spend to get free shipping?

I live in Canada, so pretty much nowhere ships free to us. Sigh.
I looked at Richard's Sea Shells, but my head was going to explode with his sizing, LOL.

I've ordered from Naples too. I haven't seen anything for free shipping, but the shells I got are totally worth it. I got 8 small and 8 large shells. They were beautiful. My crab Beau has been in the same shell for years, but when I put the new turbos in his tank, he changed into 3 of them within a day (and he's still in one of them).
I attached a pic of my order receipt.
