Default royal mail/tnt/good suppliers

I ordered 25 frozen rats and 3 boxes of large crix last week.
and tnt 'lost' my crickets.

but the supplier I use (Livefoods Direct) said they'd replace them for free, I was expecting them tuesday.

I wasn't in when the post came but there was no card to say that they'd tried to deliver them so i assumed they'd be here today.
But they didn't.

5minutes ago I was out in the shed to get something and what should I come across but my 3 boxes of crickets. so they must have came in the post yesterday, but the postie never bothered to put a card through the door saying where they were.

And of course, there was a frost last night
So every single one of my crickets is DEAD.
Am raging!

Fortunately, the supplier I use is sending me more replacements for free again. Which is really good of them.

Yay for Livefoods Direct!

How embarrassing. My crickets have er...defrosted and er....they have came back to life

I have called Livefoods Direct but the replacements have already been sent. Oh no! If they can't recall them I'll just have to sell them :\

Yup they are great!
I order 3 boxes of large black crix at a time and thats £6 odds. And they crickets are proper huge and loads in a box, very very rarely come with even 1 dead out of the lot and they always deliver very quick...and free delivery!!

yep I get mine from there most of the time too

Beware that "tub" of 500 brown crickets - they're probably going to be in a bag - mine always are - so get ready with a deep bucket to tip em into, then shake em off the newspaper and shift them (use a cup and cover with your hand - into smaller cricket keeper type boxes if oyu've got any - I also leave about half in the bucket, it's too high for them to jump out. Leave em a piece of eggbox to hide under.

Sorry if you already know this!!!
