    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

supposedly selling phoeinix worms i ordered 450 he said 30 shipped. Right there should have known he sent them tuesday the 7th and i recieved them the 9th at 3:00 est. i opened the package and in a culture cup wa some dirt containing 4 yes 4 worms why even ship them. just rob me why send the package. i have multiple photos to prove al of this please someone tell me what i can do?
 
When did this happen?
What did he say when you contacted him?
Have you notified him of this thread?
 
Can you please post the emails you sent after getting the package ? I just ordered the soldier grubs and roaches from him last week and the count was good. If you sent him a message after you got the package and he refused to make it right. Then I can understand you posting on the BOI. I order bugs once a month and pay about that much shipping all the time .
 
So, you received the shipment & posted here within half an hour? Way to give a person a chance to fix a problem :thumbsup:
 
"hey buddy WTF is up with this BS i ordered 450 and i get 4 in some dirt in a cup refund my money or you best believe that im gonna plaster you all over this board "
was this ure attempt of getting this issue resolve or did u contact him when u got ure package?
 
Well, I ordered mealworms from him at one point. Things seemed to have gone okay...there were some dead worms, but I didn't think too much of it. It definately wasn't the best order I ever received. But it was sufficient. I can't remember how he sent them, either overnight or 2 day, but I remember receiving them when I was supposed to.

If you truly wrote that, and you were my customer, I would make damn sure after this transaction I wouldn't do any business with you again.

He did....posted it right in the ad :shrug01:
 
Joshua - I'm hoping that the PM you sent him was more professional than the message you left in his ad. Would you mind posting it (if it included profanity, please :censored: it)

btw - I sent Jason a PM to make him aware of this thread.
 
He did post it right in the ad. I just looked.

What exactly happened right after you got the shipment? Did you contact him? Did you give him a chance to resolve the situation? Or did you come straight to the BOI?

Maia,

"Sufficient" was not my intention when filling your order. Mealworms are not really my thing anymore but I have lobster, red runner, and dubia roaches as well as the soldier grubs......let me know what you like and I will shoot you over some free of charge.

Thanks, Jason
 
Their is a bigger story here and I will need time to gather my thoughts and review all of the evidence.

Thanks for your patience,

Jason
 
look i just want to appologize i did jump the gun. ive had some issues with theft someone robbed my house and stole like 550 dollars and ive been ''got'' before so i have contacted him and was very professional. The best i could do is send him photos from my cell due to the fact that my camera died a couple weeks ago. i really could not see how there were only 4. Also when i searched his name on here the first thing that came up was someone else saying he had also "messed" up there order. so again i appologize and i hope i didnt seriously offend anyone

Nice backpeddle Josh but this is not over......while I am consulting with people far more wise than I could you PLEASE dump out the peat moss, that they arrived in, into a big bowl and fill it with water to wash off the grubs.....rinse and repeat till thier is no more peat moss......these guys average an inch in length and take more than 2 hours to drown. Please post the outcome.

Thanks, Jason
 
Well thanks to this thread and also coming across this one under the "insect" BOI
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173527

I decided to check the soldier worms I recieved yesterday from Jason I fed off 3 when they first came in. I just now dumped all the substrate and counted. With the 3 I fed off yesterday I have 21 worms.... that's out of the 100 I ordered.

The other thread talks about his warranty and 2 hour notice blah blah... None of which I was informed of.

I'm not even going to bother actually counting the lateralis as I have bred quite a few roaches and am confident I have approx. The amount I ordered and can start a colony with them.

It doesnt seem as if he ever made right with the guy from the Insect BOI but I'll give him the chance to make this right.

Right now I'm pm'ing him to check this thread again about my issue.
The only reason I posted here first cause I saw his name on the homepage which led me to count my worms

Jason, I sure hope my order comes in great shape. I'll have my camera ready to take pictures when they arrive. ;)

I hope it's not one of those "you get what you pay for" circumstances...
