How's the packaging that these are shipped in? Last time I ordered nematodes (different brand), they came in a small styrofoam cooler with icepack.

I don't know if they change their packaging depending on the weather but mine arrived in a small brown box with a thin plastic container inside. There is some paper instructions inside and a packaging slip. I ordered about a month ago so Julyish 2014.

2/14. They are packaged so that they do not get damaged. If we are shipping to a hot state then ice packs may be included with Standard shipping and will be included with Expedited shipping.

Weather is usually at fault when Phoenix Worms arrive in poor condition. When your temps are below 45° or above 85°, we offer 100% live delivery guarantee if we can ship these to your local post office, no matter how hot or cold it is. Just put the words "Hold for Pickup" in one of your shipping address fields or contact us shortly after ordering (we ship fast!), and we will take care of the rest.

they are packaged in a "push through" type package - the foil they break through is not very tough though - worse case just give it a little nick with a butter knife - they pop right out.

Mine were sent in a thick little plastic *leak-proof* container. You'll be fine. :)

I just received my probiotics from Amazon on 4/13/15. I live in Florida. There was NO ice pack in the shipping.

Yes, they were packed in an insulated container with ice packs. They were cold when they arrived and I could have drank them right away, but decided to start my cleanse the next morning. Be sure to put them into the refrigerator as soon as possible.

Yes! They are packed in an insulated box with ice packs. So when you get them they are still cold and you just have to put them directly into the refrigerator.

You should just keep them in the fridge. If you have a large amount, layer them with newspaper and small amounts of worm food. These people are very good no noticeable dead worms even when a few are expected.

this particular company did not ship in ice pack. however it was 2 day shipping and so is fine in cold weather. Summer......one needs to find a supplier who uses the ice pack.

Mine live in a box lined with a plastic bag, in the water heater closet. They are doing awesome in there. http://harvestsgardeningsecrets.blogspot.com/2014/04/ive-got-worms.html

We had the opposite problem. We ordered our worms in the dead of winter in upstate ny. They were dropped off on our front porch for hours before we noticed them. The package clearly said "perishable" and "live" yet the PO still left them to freeze, which they did. Out of 200 we probably had 50 still alive. If you need them in the summer go to Walmart. But if it is a cooler season for you then these are nice worms that come nicely packaged. Price wise walmart worms are 30 for $3ish. We supplemented ours with a few containers of walmart worms. As far as we know everyone got along. No worm wars. But many babies. ;-)

Sorry, I do not remember what the packaging listed. They shipped from a company in the USA.

better safe than sorry, although they are not shipped in cold pack. best to ask people who make them.

I ordered mine in the cooler weather but they arrived in uninsulated packaging so I would say "No" to your question. Mine arrived in great shape but, as I said the weather was cooler when I ordered them.
