I made an acct, and priced out 1000 4)week old crickets shipped.
I am in Ca and so are they, so normal ground shipping should be as good as next day. Crickets $10.50, Shipping $10.87= $21.37
The major issue I see now is the fact that its hot right now and normal ground can be delivered anywhere from 8am-8pm. If your lucky you will get your delivery by 11am, or it's gonna sit in a hot truck till who knows when...
If I only need crickets, I use LLL. They ship with On-Trac, and it gets sent as "Sunrise Delivery", and is on my step no later then 8:30am. On-Trac has small deliver vans and seams to be a very gentle with boxes. With LLL I get my crickets before the heat does. 1000 Crickets shipped $21 with tax.
I was also reading there is no guarantee on ground orders... so they go "Pew" your out shipping on the replacments.
