Frequently Asked Questions

When will my order ship?

We ship Monday – Thursday each week via USPS. Order placed by Tuesday 6PM EDT will ship same week. Larger orders please allow an extra day or two. Weather and Postal Holidays can also affect these times 

When will my order arrive?

USPS Priority Mail orders arrive 2-5 days after shipping (usually 2-3)
USPS Priority Mail Express orders arrive 1-2 days after shipping (some small towns or rural areas can take 2 days to arrive)
USPS First Class orders arrive 3-6 days after shipping

Will I get a confirmation email and tracking?

Yes, you will receive two emails. One when the order is placed and a second email confirming shipping with tracking information when the order is picked up by the carrier  

What is a Hold for Pickup? How do I request this? 

The Hold for Pickup option would be a Hold at your Local Post Office. USPS offers this service so customers can pick up valuable and perishable merchandise at their Local Post Office. We find most DOAs happen while the package is on a hot / cold truck all day for delivery. Holding a package at the Post Office keeps it in a climate controlled environment until pickup. A Hold for Pickup can be selected while adding a product to the shopping cart, by using the "message / request" text box when ordering or by using the Contact Us page 

What type of packaging is used? 

We ship most orders in a plain brown or white corrugated box. Any insects will be packaged inside of plastic container or cloth bags. They will not be loose in the box when it is opened. ​

Can an order be delivered earlier in the week? How do I request this?

Yes! We offer Priority Mail Shipping on Friday for Monday delivery to customers upon request. Orders generally need to be placed and requested by Thursday 10AM EDT for this service. Requests can be made in the "message / request" text box when ordering or by using the Contact Us page

Do you offer Local Pickup?

At this time only shipping is available but ​orders inside MA or New​​ England area generally arrive 1-2 business days after shipment

I live in Florida, can I purchase dubia roaches? 

Sorry, due to state laws we cannot sell or ship dubia roaches as well as many other species into Florida

Are there any Florida Legal Roaches? 

Yes! We have a large selection of Florida Legal Roaches perfect for feeding reptiles, amphibians, spiders and more!  Click Here to check them out!
