Hi Friend,

Last year, we shipped throughout most of the winter despite frigid weather. This year, we plan to do the same. Read our latest blog to learn exactly how! 

Shipping live insects during winter can be tricky. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do to help.

Well actually… you can help! And it only takes a few seconds of your time.

👉When you place your order be sure to check the little box that says “Hold For Pickup” and include your phone number.

This allows your post office to keep your dubia roaches in a heated area when they arrive (instead of a sub-freezing postal truck). They will call you so you can pick them up at your convenience.

Selecting "hold for pickup" also activates our live delivery guarantee.

👉If you live in a very cold area and have concerns about shipping live insects to your location, we encourage you to send us an email when you place your order. When we know your order will be in the cold for longer than usual, we may include longer lasting heat packs at our discretion.

We have had customers in the past reach out because they know their mail often takes longer than usual or their area is expecting brutal cold in the next few days. Letting us know your circumstances before we ship your order may make the difference between your roaches arriving alive or not!

Have an excellent week,

The Bug Shed Team

P.S. All dubia sizes up to 5/8"x3/4" are now in stock! 

(Thank you for your patience as we build our colonies back up after this summer's unanticipated high sales volume. We expect to be back up to full production by the end of the year.)
