Has anyone ever used this site?

I was thinking about ordering silkworms from there but I don't know if they are a good place to order from either. I think I will give them a try and I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Sherry.

I'd appreciate that. I love how the shipping is included in the cost. They are located in Georgia and I'm in Alabama, so with Fedex ground, it looks like it would only take a day or two for them to get here. Since our weather has been in the mid to low 70s I'm thinking I wouldn't need to pay extra for overnight.

That is good! Usually places will still charge like $30 just for shipping because they want to ship priority to make sure everything arrives alive. I have only ordered feeders once because the shipping is so expensive. I hope this will be a good experience!

Exactly.
I hate spending more on the shipment of something than the actual product costs.
Some of the feeder prices are a tad higher than other places, but to me the free shipping totally makes up for that. I do believe they require overnight if the area you're in is within certain temp ranges, but that's just to keep their live on arrival guarantee intact.

They have a good selection of feeders and pretty fair prices on shipping, too.

I love Josh's Frogs but he doesn't have silkworms

Yeah.. I've been looking to try some of those too, but I'm just going to wait until I see some at a reptile show. I really hate having to pay for shipping, period. Haha.

Only if I absolutely can't find the animal locally will I do it. I've seen silkworms at shows, so I will wait and hope to see them again. You should check out your local show, I'm willing to bet you have a monthly expo somewhere around Chicago.
