Live mealworms shipped directly from Georgia where we grow them.  We ship out worms Monday - Thursday via USPS priority shipping.    We always include extras just in case.  Live delivery is guaranteed with post office pick up or if temperature at your location is between 40 and 80.   If you would like your worms held at the post office just send us an email through ebay and we will gladly mark the package as Hold At Post Office.  Please provide your phone number if you would like for them to call you and we will put it on the outside of the box for you.    Having said that....... the post office should follow through with this for you but once it leave us.... we count on them to Hold and phone as requested.
You will receive Giant size Mealworms plus extras to make up for any losses.   Losses are rare but not unheard of.  If the temperature is not extreme as they travel, they should be fine.  We hand carry the worms to the post office for drop off so they are not exposed to temperature extremes as we mail them out.     These worms are not as large as superworms and are more docile.  If you are not sure what you want, please ask questions and look at the pictures for reference of size.
Please give them several pieces of thinly sliced carrot or potato or soft/moist bread when they arrive.  They do well living in dry grain based bedding like wheat bran, oat meal, or corn meal...... NOT corn meal MIX as it has salt and will kill them. The veggies are their water source. Our giant worms are well hydrated and fed when we send them out.  They will lose a bit of weight and dehydrate a bit as they travel to you but will plump up as you care for them. I
f you have an issue with an order we must be notified the day of delivery.
Worms going to locations with temps over 80 or under 40 should request that worms be held at the post office to obtain live guarantee  There is no cost for this extra service and will help ensure your worms are alive when you get them.  Don't leave them in a
mailbox
in the hot sun or very cold weather as they will surely die.
PACKAGING ==== Currently we pack our worms in breathable cotton bag which is put into a ventilated box.  Boxes are labeled with stickers to indicate that live animals are enclosed.  We put a piece of vegetable in with the worms and crumple up a piece of paper to keep the bag open and to provide additional surface area for the worms.  Currently, we are using brown lunch sacks which we crumple up and which do not harm the worms and they can actually munch on them if they want.
The mealworm is one stage of the tenebrio molitor's life cycle.  The mealworms turn into pupae as they mature and later turn into beetles before laying eggs to start the cycle again.
SHIPPING---- When ordering more than one of these items, we combine the worms into a single box.
We value your support and want to be your mealworm provider.
After you receive the worms you have ordered,  they should live a few weeks quite nicely in a refrigerator.   We recommend that you remove them from the refrigerator weekly and give them time to warm up and give them a piece of moist vegetable.  They can be stored in ground corn meal   NOT CORNMEAL MIX as it will kill them.  Just plain ground corn. You can also use cereal or other grains.  They live in and eat the bedding.
Should you encounter an issue, please give us an opportunity to make the concern right and do not leave negative feedback.  Our clients and business are important to us.
