buying feeders in extreme hot and cold months

I've been surfing the web on feeders and I keep seeing can't guarantee live delivery if temps are blow 55 or above 85. What do you guys do during the times of year when live delivery cant be guarantee? I live in NC so summer and winters can be extreme at times.

I haven't had much issue during the summer. Winter can be tough though. It helps to request the heat pack and winter (insulated) shipping which costs a few dollars extra. It's also beneficial to use overnight or second day shipping to minimize the time in transit. I also watch the weather forecast for the area between the source and my house and don't place orders when severe weather will be along the route. If you're in NC, I'd stick with the vendors in Georgia and Florida for best results. Warmer weather to begin the trip and a shorter trip overall.

I used to get crickets from premiumcrickets/georgiacrickets and I get silk worms from coastal silkworms.
