Live Mealworm Shipping Recommendations:
We recommend you select Next Day Service shipping method, we do not guarantee live mealworm delivery with any other shipping methods. See full guarantee below.*
*LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE: Live mealworm typically ship via USPS Priority Mail service, but may also ship via FedEx. If the temperature at the delivery location is above 85 degrees F. or below 32 degrees F, we suggest that you select Next Day Service shipping. If any other shipping method besides Next Day Service is used, the customer assumes responsibility for the arrival condition of the mealworms.
The second most reliable shipping method is Expedited shipping. It is not recommended to ship live mealworms by Economy or Standard Ground services. Mealworms must be shipped to a location where they can be received and cared-for upon delivery. We do not guarantee live delivery if mealworms are left outside or delivered to a street mail box.
Orders shipped by Next Day Service with morning delivery that are received upon delivery are warranted under our guarantee. If mealworms do not arrive alive (D.O.A.), the customer is responsible for filing a replacement claim (by phone or email) within 24 hours of delivery time. We cannot make exceptions to this policy.
