Shipping / Receiving Worm Delivery:

Please make sure you are prepared and ready to receive your order of worms by following these instructions. Worm orders can not be canceled once processing has started.

1.  If you are using your worms with the intent of keeping them alive, you must make sure you have adequate habitat for the worms ready before they arrive.

2.  You must be able to receive the worms at your physical location.  We are not able to deliver live worms to PO boxes.  

3.  You must have a person at your physical location who can remove move the worms to proper ambient conditions as soon as delivered.  The worms are temperature sensitive and can't be left in temperature extremes like a hot/cold mailbox or very hot front door, etc.  If you can't receive the shipment at your physical location, contact us ahead of time and we will notify the Post Office to hold the shipment for pickup so the worms are held in a conditioned space.  Live guarantee is void if one is not at physical address to receive the worms. 

Further Shipping Policy Details:
Every effort is made to keep worms alive during the shipping process.  Therefore, worms will be shipped by USPS priority mail (typically 2-3 day delivery) most of the time only early in the weeks that exclude federal holidays.  We will also monitor weather conditions and may defer shipping if the worms will be subjected to extreme temperatures at the time of shipping or during any time of the transport time.  Should this delay due to weather occur, we will contact you by e-mail to inform you of the delay.  You must begin care of the worms within 1-2 hours of them being delivered to you.  We can not ship to PO boxes. If your shipping address changes after you place the order, the live guarantee is void. Live worm guarantee is only good for one re-shipment.
