Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any guarantee on live delivery?
Live Delivery Guarantee Spring/Summer/Fall

We Guarantee Live Delivery of your insect order. Should you experience a problem we will issue a credit at our discretion. We offer a variety of shipping options. These options vary greatly in service level and price. Please pick the option best suited for your area and needs. You have 2 business days from receipt of your order to report a loss. Please report all claims promptly. To request a credit please call our sales team at 1 800 735-8537 or use our Credit Request Form.

Live Delivery Guarantee Winter

Fluker Farms guarantees live delivery when temperatures are as low as 16 degrees at the destination and/or regional sort facilities during estimated transit times. While most insect growers simply refuse to ship at temperatures below this threshold, Fluker Farms recognizes how much you rely on live insect for your pet’s nourishment and feel you should have a choice in the matter. Therefore, we provide the following options when the weather drops to 0-15 degrees (we will not ship to any areas below 0 degrees).

1) Ship Without Guarantee (SWG) - You can choose to have your insects shipped when the night time temperatures are between 0-15 degrees by selecting the SWG option, however, we cannot guarantee live delivery and NO REFUND will be given for insects that do not arrive alive. Please check your shipping hub, postal is Memphis, and UPS overnight is Lexington, Ky for appropriate temperatures as well as your local hub.

2) Hold For Weather (HFW) - If you choose the HFW option, your order may be held up to 7 days while we wait on improved shipping conditions. If after 7 days the weather doesn’t improve enough for your order to be shipped, it will be cancelled and any charges refunded.

Which shipping method should I choose?
We offer a wide variety of options for shipping your live insects. Using the chart above as reference, our customers can choose which shipping service will work best for them. It is important to take into account that transit times vary greatly between the different options. USPS Ground Advantage can take up to 7 business days, and UPS next day air is a one business day in-transit service.

What works well for some customers will not always work well for others. If it is during the hot summer months or cold winter months we recommend considering quicker methods other than USPS Ground Advantage because it is the slowest option and increases the risk of receiving your insects DOA. Make sure to check the weather, carefully taking into account transit time and places that your package will travel through.

Also important to consider is the price difference between shipping methods: USPS Ground Advantage is the cheapest, and UPS Next Day Air is the most expensive. We try to provide as much information as possible, but it is ultimately up to the customer to make the best choice based on weather, transit time, and the quality of delivery services available to your area.
