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.

Lightening-fast shipping, reasonable prices and fat, healthy mealworms! My toads are happy and so am I. This was my first order from SSW, but it will not be my last.

I’ve purchased from other sources and this company is by far the best of those. They ship right away, the worms are packaged professionally and are very healthy on arrival. Glad I found this company.

Worms are always under good condition with well setting if package, and the people operating in a very responsible way. I’ve dealt with many factories for the sources of feedingy wild birds. This farm is my new favorite! Very happy with them!

My only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is as a first time buyer, I wish I was told that USPS is not good at handling shipping and to plan on putting in extra effort to receive.

I ordered in early March (temp down to freezing now and then). Sunshine recommended to wait until temp warmer to ship the order. Took about three weeks for temp to warm enough. I was notified they had shipped, they arrived in great shape and my birds were thrilled. This is the place to get your
worms. Finally, a supplier that cares about doing it right.

We needed these for a school project. We had a cold snap and our lows were below 40, so they couldn’t offer a guarantee. After emailing we took them anyway and they all arrived alive and well. My daughter had to count them to be scientific and I can tell you we got significantly more than we ordered. Good service and experience. When the project is over, our chickens will be very happy!

This time about half the worms arrived dead and the weather was fine. So a bit messy to deal with and have to order more soon. Normally they arrive in good condition

Kurt, We are sorry you had a problem with the order. I pulled up your weather and on delivery day you temps were in the mid 80s on delivered packages we can only guarantee live delivery when temps are 50-80. I would recommend choosing hold for pickup…also on prev orders they were always delivered in the am. This last time they were delivered mid afternoon…..Most delivery vehicles arent climate controlled and the worms cant withstand extreme temps. We look forward to serving you in the future. If you have a problem next delivery notify us within 1 hour of delivery so we can check if it meets live guarantee and if so we reship!!
Happy Holidays
Justin
