Thanks for the comments guys. We absolutely drop ship our crickets, as using a west coast cricket farm to ship to the east coast doesn't make much sense, and vice versa! We have a southern supplier, an east coast supplier and a west coast supplier. We buy in such large quantity, that in most cases, going directly to the "source" gets you the exact same, but more expensive crickets from the same place! We just recently changed west coast suppliers - so maybe something to consider if you had bad luck before.
Also - they are ALWAYS guaranteed to be the correct count and size, and are ALWAYS take care of if there is any major issue. Weather is always a factor, especially during summer, so no matter where you get your crickets or worms, have them shipped to a business, or held for pick up, not shipped to your house when it is 90+ degrees. Size varies greatly from supplier to supplier. One supplier's "small" is another's "week old" or "two week old", etc. I have used literally almost every major supplier in the US, so I know what some of you mean. From my experience, a "small" is generally a 2 week, a "medium" is anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks (so big size difference) and a large is 5 - 6 week. We sell them by "length", not by week or "small/medium/large". If you order 1/4", that is about a 2 week old cricket.
Hope some of this info helps. We just added the overnight option for all of our worms today, so if you are in a rush, it is a really good overnight rate. Thanks again!
