Worms were shipped without ice packs
Worms were shipped without ice packs. Whether by mistake that the store won’t take responsibility for or on purpose which is very unethical- cruel even if they are worms. Packaged correctly with cooling, priority mail arrives quickly enough, no need for overnight. However, if they had arrived DOA packaged correctly with ice packs then I would take responsibility for the selected shipping. These worms never had a chance , again either by mistake (hopefully, but own it) or with full knowledge, which is very poor business practices.

Hi Steven — per our Live Arrival/DOA policy, USPS (bare minimum) shipments are not guaranteed for live arrival, and that shipping method was selected for this order. Policy here: https://www.petzonesd.com/live-arrival-guarantee/ If you message us with Reference #34617 and photos of the packaging, we can still review the pack-out and respond directly.
