    I was 1 click away from ordering 1000 crickets just now but for the hot weather waiver. I don't want to risk the crickets biting the dust.

    They do ship them with cold packs, but I agree with you on this.

    I have not figured out what I am going to do this winter yet, as we get about three months of cold not suitable for shipping cricket. On the other hand, by then, hopefully all my critters will be of the "pet shop" small cricket size.

    To anyone who decides to order from Ghann's based on this testimonial thread, please mention this site.

    Order arrived this morning before 10:30 am (I got the next day morning delivery). I didn't see a dead cricket in the entire 2000 (and there seemed like more than 2000). The outside box is rather amusing and I too am unsure what to do with it but inclined to hold on to it. I would definitely order again, even with the hot weather - as long as they deliver before the heat of the day then everything seems to be alright, even though I had to sign the extreme weather waiver on the live delivery guarantee since the forecast for this area was 100F today (about 38 C).

    Just placed my second order - the 2000 1/8" crickets are almost out (and most are at least 1/4" now). I ordered 2000 3/8" crickets to feed my eight toadlets that started eating only 9 days ago - these things eat and grow faster than anyone would believe.

    2nd order - paid for overnight by 10:30 am, sent by overnight by 3 pm. I signed the heat waiver based on the delivery time I paid for and now I'm hoping they don't die, not to mention now I have to miss work. I've contacted Ghann's but it's now 11 am and I don't see what they can do. *Not happy*
