Please check your local weather for 1–4 days from your purchase — this is your expected delivery window.
If you are selecting USPS Ground Advantage, we recommend checking temperatures up to 7 days out, as this service may take longer in some regions.
If your local daytime highs are outside 55°F to 85°F, please select Hold for Pickup to ensure your worms arrive safely.
We understand there may be exceptions (e.g., early route delivery, climate-controlled mailboxes). You're welcome to request home delivery under those conditions, but our Live Arrival Guarantee will not apply.
