first time purchasing crix online need help plz

[dragon2272]

my beardie reptar is only 8 months old she eats about 8 or so a day twice a day on top of greens. So far im thinking the best deal is on the website ghanns cricket farm, with the lil coupon for 5 dollars off im going to puchase 250 crix and a gallon of cricket water for 13$ not including shipping. also what kind of shipping should i get for the crix the 2 day shipping which will be way cheaper (9.25) or should i get the next day evening shipping (16.43). but if they can survive the 2 day one i would prefer to do that if anyone could shed some light onto this reptar and i would be greatly appriciative.

when i ordered crickets, i only did next day... i was too afraid they would die before my beardie could enjoy them

I just ordered from them! My first time too. I chose the 2nd day shipping. I will let you know how it turns out!

I have ordered from them a few times. My first time I decided to go with the 2nd day shipping. My shipment arrived and more than half were dead. My advice is to pay for the overnight shipping like they advise on their website, I did this the 2nd and third time and had very few dead crickets when my order got to my door. I am sure 2nd day shipping would be fine in the late spring and early summer when the temperatures are not too old and not too hot either. Best advice to listen what their shipping department advises..

If the crickets are healthy they should last a 2 day shipping.
