Ghann's Cricket farm

Well, I for one am glad that your crickets made it and you got a refund on your shipping. Fedex really sucks!

Thats one of the reasons that I had switched suppliers. I was getting them from Coldbloods in Kingston, MA but the shipping was killing me and most of the time Fedex would screw things up. When they deliver anything they never even ring the door bell. One day they left a case of crickets on the front porch in the middle of a snow storm. I only found them when I happened to open the front door and there they were with a half inch of snow on them. I asked my supplier if he could change shippers, he could not. I asked if he can put in a request that the driver gets a signature upon delivery, he said they wouldn't do it.

So I have been getting my crickets from Zoo Creatures/NERD in Plaistow, NH for the past several months. I have to pick them up, but I do avoid shipping charges and I never have massive die offs because of bad weather.

So now for the fun part. I was up at Zoo Creatures today and who do I run into? The owner of Coldbloods. That felt awkward. He was making a delivery there, I guess he does business with them. He said hi to me, but thankfully he didn't ask where have I been and where was I getting my crickets from.

I placed this month's order a bit later than planned, yesterday.

My order of 2000 1/8 inch crickets, 1000 5/8 inch crickets, and 1000 large meal worms arrived at 0847 in excellent condition.
