I am sincerely sorry,I will not sell to anyone who lives hundreds of kilometres away anymore.
But if this rule is true, how do sellers of insects get away with it?

crickets, silkworms, mealworms, superworms, woodies, gents all considered harmless INSECTS.Australia Post accepts bees, leeches, silkworms, silkworm eggs and (in the Domestic Post only) other
harmless insects only if:
the movement of the creatures is not restricted by any law of the Commonwealth, a State,
Territory or the destination country
the sender has any necessary clearances or certificates of health required by the destination state
or country
in the Domestic Post, the article is lodged at an office of Australia Post as an Express Post
Parcel or an Express Post Satchel and additional postage paid for the separate bag service
in the International Post, the article is lodged at an office of Australia Post for Air Mail carriage
but not Economy Air or Express Courier International.
I doubt you'll stop shipping your "stock" to customers who have the $ and a licence to keep them.
My limit (distance wize) when I've bought my lizards is if I have drive more than 1 hour each way it's a deal-breaker.
I wont travel more than that to collect a lizard I want to buy.
I wont ask for an animal to be shipped to me , judging how many couriers handle parcels it's obvious they couldn't care less what is inside the box, satchel or tube or if it's fragile (even if clearly labelled FRAGILE and KEEP THIS SIDE UP). No thanks ,I don't want to buy an animal and have it arrive severely injured or dead through rough handling , overheating and a victim of lack of care en-route.
