USPS priority or fed ex 2 day

[crocky]

Making an order from mulberry farms tonight for silkworms, horns and butter worms, curious for those that have bought and used USPS priority how long it took. It is about $12.00 cheaper than fed ex ground and would prefer to order that way but I want to make sure I don't risk it if USPS takes too long.

Thanks for any input

It depends on your weather. If it's cold then the extra shipping time might kill a bunch of them, making the more expensive rate a better idea.

Our weather is going to be much warmer this week, 50's and 60's and lowest is going to be high 40's I think . Not sure where they are coming from though, I might need to check that

Your going coast to coast, id do usps, that and you are not going into the arctic zones. Now if this was a greatlakeshornworms order going to Washington during a normal January, that would be 2 day with a heat pak.

I highly advise to have it shipped to your work if possible. Also admin loves when i place a dirt sundays on their desk, then the gummy worms start moving...

Yikes they are coming from California so USPS priority may take a little longer since I am on the east coast. I think I will add the extra shipping to be safe.

Curious though what USPS priority time frame is....guess I need it check that too .
I work from home 90% of the time so home address should work

Thanks for the input, I figured with the weather being warmer next week and USPS says 2-3 days I went ahead with it. Keeping my fingers crossed! The lowest is actually on Wed and Thirsday of a low in the mid 30's but highs in the mid 50's. I did not opt for heat packs either.....I forgot . Hopefully though with the weather and the worms they should be ok
