Your live Mealworms will be shipped in a plastic container with bedding (this also doubles as their food) and a slice of carrot or potatoe, it’s then boxed up for safe delivery, they will keep for a long period with little care. I Guarantee live delivery. I ship with NZ Post every week day except Friday. I do not ship on public holidays. If you supply a rural address please select the rural option for shipping at checkout to avoid delays with the delivery.
