Great product and company
I ordered the springtails in seeding culture. They arrived quickly, in good health, and I've been able to keep them populating by adding a tiny sprinkle of food and keeping the culture slightly moist. I just poked holes in the top of the shipping container and move some into a vivarium as needed. My population has probably tripled since purchase a few months ago.

Impressive Count & Alive
Lots of alive, active cultures in my order. I picked the clay 8oz and free economy shipping took about 5 days.I was worried about low temperatures (40-50ish F) at night while it was in transit, but they seem completely unaffected— very few were sleepy (all the rest were alive and well!)

DOA (Dead on Arrival)
First order: After 10 days on the road the springtail's substrate arrived completely dry and all the springtails were dead on arrival (DOA)...so I was sent a replacement.Replacement: A replacement was sent to me but unfortunately the replacement did not survive the 8 day trip...that's right, there were no survivors on this trip either, all the little bugs were DOA.I had hoped something different was going to be done with the replacement order, considering that none of the springtail were able to survive the first order, but that was not the case.I believe there there could be the possibility of survival if the springtails didn't take so long to reach their destination...8 to 10 days is too long for any living thing to travel in an enclosed container without food, water or proper weather protection.

Alive and kicking
Arrived within a few days. I was honestly surprised how many came in a container and split them up as soon as I could. It was well packed with insulating bubble wrap and a heat pack. I will absolutely be a returning customer.

Arrived alive!
I received my seeding culture over a week after shipment- in Minnesota winter. Thankfully days have been mild and they arrived alive and well!
