1. How do you ship worms to survive transit?
We ship nationwide with USPS 1-3 day priority mail, and fedex overnight or 2nd day air so your worms will not be in transit very long. We ship worms Monday to Thursday to ensure delivery before Sunday so they are not left in transit on Sunday. We have a high success rate for worms arriving at their destination alive and well. We 100% guarantee live delivery, so if any problems occur during transit, we will ship replacement worms. Please contact us within 24 hours of delivery with any problems, or 1 hour on dead on arrival.
2. How do I store my worms?
Mealworms should be kept under refrigeration between 42 and 50 degrees, where they become dormant in their larva stage and stay in perfect condition for 30-45 days. Remove container from refrigerator once a week for an hour and give them a sliced apple, carrot or potatoes.
3. Do I need to be home when my package arrives?
It is best to be home when package arrives however, you don’t need to be there. We can have the package held at Post Office if you want. It is recommend that you be home or have them shipped to your work as they are live animals. You can leave delivery instructions before placing your order.

Ok, my birds are addicted to your meal worms. They winter over and feast on them….Spreading the word in the neighborhood, so now I have to put up two feeders. I am so lucky! Thanks for the excellent service and quality of your product.

I have been buying meal worms for my lizards for the last several years. My first time with Sunshine State Worms. I buy 10,000 small meal worms about every 2-1/2 weeks. I am very impressed!!! Great communication on shipping date, etc. from Justin. When I receive mealworms from other companies the bag is stuffed with newspapers. It was refreshing to see your worms come with bag stuffed with clean packing paper. They arrived healthy in a timely fashion. I will be buying my mealworms with Sunshine State Worms in the future!!!

The 1/2″ worms are a favorit with smaller waxbills and finches. Arrived quickly in great condition.

They came well packaged and even had a warming packet in case it was cold. USPS was very helpful – the worms arrived at the post office on a Friday and even though I had asked for “delivery hold”, the Post Office called to let me know they were there. I was able to get them and they were not held over the weekend.
