Shipping Methods
We offer USPS Priority Mail as our standard shipping
service. Since silkworms and fruitflies are a perishable good, we do not offer USPS standard parcel post because shipment may
take too long. Live delivery is guaranteed for priority mail under most circumstances. However,
if the priority mail shipment takes longer than three days to reach you, the live
guarantee is downgraded as follows: We will reship free of product charge, but ask that you pay the reshipping charge.
Please see our Live Guarantee page
for details.
USPS Priority Mail:
Priority Mail generally offers 2-3 day service to most domestic destinations
and one day delivery to some locations. However, the USPS
does not guarantee a 3 day delivery time, so it may take longer. Includes
delivery to every address in the United States—including PO Boxes
and military addresses.
Please contact us if you would prefer to
have your order shipped via USPS Express Mail (1-2 day).
We will then give you a quote for your order and await your response.
If you would like to determine how long your package will take to arrive,
please visit

Hot & Cold Pack
If you live in a HOT/COLD area,
the temperature shouldn't be a problem, unless the product is shipping
to areas of 90° or more or under 40° F.
Heat packs should be ordered when daytime high temperatures are below 40°
Heat packs are $2.50 plus 1lb extra shipping weight.
It is the responsibility of the customer to order a heat pack.
Please order a heat pack on the bottom of each product page of our store.
We do not use cold packs because they don't provide any protection unless
shipped overnight with a Styrofoam box -- that gets too expensive.
If Shipment is to areas of 90° and above or under 40°,
we cannot offer a live guarantee. Please see our Live Guarantee
page for more details.
