Choosing the Right Shipping Method for Live Mealworms
Exotic Nutrition offers a variety of methods to ensure your mealworms arrive to you in good condition. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the best choice based on temperature, shipping options, and delivery guarantees.
Temperature Considerations
Live mealworms are a perishable product and can be affected by extreme temperatures during transit. When temperatures are below freezing or above 85 degrees, we strongly recommend adding a heat or cold pack and opting for a FedEx (1-2 day) shipping service.
Note that cold packs are not guaranteed to stay frozen during transit and do not guarantee the condition of your product without selecting FedEx Priority Overnight shipping service.
Exotic Nutrition offers a variety of shipping methods through USPS or FedEx, but mealworms are only insured if FedEx Priority Overnight shipping service is selected at checkout and the package is received upon delivery.
Shipping Methods
- Economy or Flat-Rate Shipping (USPS or FedEx)
- USPS Ground Advantage
- FedEx Ground Home Delivery
- FedEx 2Day
- FedEx Priority Overnight (Saturday Delivery upon request)
Customers can see estimated delivery times for each service upon checkout. Read more in our: Shipping Policy
Live Mealworm Guarantee
To ensure your live mealworms are insured:
- Add a cold/heat pack.
- Select FedEx Priority Overnight shipping service at checkout
- Receive the package upon delivery.
Exotic Nutrition does not guarantee live worms that are left outside, delivered to a mailbox, or undeliverable by the carrier.
If your mealworms are Dead On Arrival (DOA): Take a photo and email it to sales@exoticnutrition.com within 24 hours of delivery. Describe the percentage of worms lost. Replacement insects will be shipped at the cost and discretion of Exotic Nutrition. Note that worms and shipping costs are nonrefundable.
