Ordering mealworms

[sushikam]

I just have quick question. I've been searching for sites that you can order mealworms from and I've found several sites that appear great in quality. My only issue is, is that I need mine delivered on a Saturday, I'm not here all day during the week and Saturday is the only day someone will be home to take them out of the ridiculous heat here in Louisiana. Does anyone know of any sites that will actually deliver on Saturday?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

You could try emailing some of the companies and ask if they would but you might have to cope with the fact you probably wouldn't get a live delivery guarantee. It's worth a shot to ask.

are you in school during the day or at work? you could get them delivered to you job if your at work.

Saturday delivery would cost a ton but you can call around and see if someone will do it for you.

Do you have any friends or family members that can take them for you?

it seems that a lot of online ordering places try to avoid weekend deliveries by only shipping on Mon., TUes. or Wed. If there's a delay, the weekend could cause another day's delay. If you can wait till the heat in your area and on the delivery route breaks, you would probaby be OK having it delivered to your home. I was never home when the mealworms came (i breed my own now) and never lost any. As other people have suggested, if you know anyone at all who's at home during the day, just have them delivered there. They don't have to open the box . . .

Quick question, cant the place just drop the worms at your door?

 

[Vamp523]

Just to be clear I meant that would the shipping company just leave the worms at the door

they will just leave them if nobody is there to take them, but i think the concern was over them being left out in high temperatures for an extended period of time rather than them not being able to be delivered without anyone there to take them.

Nyworms.com can help you out.

They deal with usps and sometimes ship as hold at post office and notify for pickup in bad weather.

You might want to contact them and ask if they can ship that way to you so you can pick them up yourself at your local post office.

I just bought 1,000 mealworms from them and their quality and price was great. $13.99 including shipping for 1,000 small mealworms.
