As long as the temps aren't to cold or to hot they will be fine. I however might reach out to Josh's frogs and voice your unhappiness with the shipping price versus the service you are receiving and see what they can do for you. My Experience is USPS generally hits close to the mark and may have it slated for Fri at the latest, but may still show up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Your Springs should be fine. Just open the container when you receive it and look for survivors. They are tiny tiny tiny white things. You can fill the container with water (Springs are to light to break the surface tension of the water) and see how many lost to the surface. Sometimes it may take a few hours from when they get inside your warm house for them to snap out of it and wake up.

I will update this thread when I get my bugs!! Hopefully they do come before Friday. I'm refreshing my tracking page several times a day lol

Mine are tree hoppers. Fantastik animals.
I'm definitely a tarantula guy if we are counting those, I got 7 of them! I also rear lateralis and dubia roaches and temperate isopods. As a point of curiosity have you tried breeding your own white isopods? I noticed last night that I got all different color morphs in my bin, white, tan, dark gray, light gray, some with little spots... I started out with a handful of indiscriminately caught individuals from two properties a mile apart...
BCollie, I am working on the Orange isopods. I didn't have much luck with the dwarf. Maybe I gave up because they aren't as big. If I get them booming, I will send you some (it may be a while). I have a medium size plastic bin and lots of dirt (AGB mix). I put some of my springtails with them and they are doing great. They love the egg shells, I may not see the isopods, but they leave poop on the shells. It's fun, like my little trash compactors. I put in shells, leaves, mushroom bits and the regular bug burger food. I have some springtail food from my local reptile store and I watch it make threads of fuzz and then the springtails jump on it. I keep adding to my dart frog tank, but once they are in, I never see them again.
Can't do roaches. They creep me out.
