    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.....

    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....

Superwormfarm bad experience

Well I just got a cricket order from them. The only problem was Fed-Ex delivered to the wrong address.

The count was excellant! I only ordered 1000. Upon dumping them into their bin I counted about 20 dead. Not to bad.

Dale is well aware of what is being said here. I hope to have the time to stop over there next week to pick up some supplies and will tell him I am still a satisfied customer.

I too, have talk (emailed) to Dale about this thread.

I understand both sides of this. Dale (and The Superworm Farm) generally try to fix problems that come up. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone all the time. Like I said, I understand both sides. I have been on the receiving end of dead bugs (and animals) and unable to please customers. Sometimes no matter what you do for a customer they are just not happy!

Dale is a very easy to talk to guy. If you have a problem, talk to them, (leave a message) or what ever it takes. I'm sure he will do whatever he can to fix or satisfy the situation fairly.
 
I'm glad that the both of you have had a good experience with this company,but Dale does not get back to you in a timely fashion, and in my case and in many others,Dale did not get back to us at all.I'm sure that they are finally trying to mend things after all the bad that has been said about them,but I think that you either care as a company about your customers or you don't.They have proven to me and to others that they simply don't care and I doubt that this leopard will ever change his spots.This does not even take into account the absolute disgraceful count that they have the nerve to send to people.I generally use Grooms and the Southern cricket farm and I consistently get 3-4 times as many crickets and superworms in a single box then I got from the superworm farm.I think that no matter how you slice it,that just about says it all.

I do not consider myself a customer that is unable to be pleased. In fact, I was the only one making an effort to solve the situation. Dale or Donna, or anyone else, did not bother to contact me one single time about this problem. I spent several days and hours trying to contact SWF during thier buisness hours and drove a total of 120 miles to access e-mail to communicate with them. This was during my vacation when I had no other reason to come into the office. I asked them numerous times to contact me via phone instead of e-mail. I explained carefully and clearly exactly what the problems were and simply asked to receive what I paid for, and only pay for what I received. I guess with SWF that is too much to ask for.

Leave a message, Ha-ha your funny!! Oh you were not joking? They don't seem to keep the answering machine turned on to often. I did get it once. Still no returned call. When I did speak to Dale he made it quite clear ( I called him, he did not bother to return any of my calls) That he was not going to do anything to fix the problem and did not give a flying flip about it, or me as a customer. He then told me the reason the price was so high was because shipping was over $27. Now I may be 1/4 Polish but I would still never agree to pay $27 shipping on a $16 order. I would have maybe choose another shipper, or possibly increased the order to make the rate worthwhile, but I would not pay nearly 2 times the purchase price for shipping. The original order was to have been a total of $31 and I was qouted $20 for shipping. I was okay with that. I found Dale to be full of lame excuses and a total lack of desire to correct the problem. Maybe he does work with some of you that have been dealing with him for a while. Maybe he just doesn't need any new buisness so does not bother with new customers. Heck I don't know. I only know that I am done with them forever and now that I wound up receiving a Ornate monitor I had not planned on I guess I will check out southern and get some more bugs
 
Guess I did not operate the quote box correctly. The top box has a quote and my response, then the bottom section has a second quote and my response
