Today the countdown has begun, its almost ready, steady....hatch...but not quite yet...so just need to wait, unfortunately trees tend to be more patient than i am in this time of year. In the mean time lets just recap on our services, we are on our second year of farming silkworms, although last year was great it did have its highs and lows...especially for finding the right courier company....ghaaaaah...(but safe to say no problem now..all sorted), we still a small operation as we “go with the flow” as the saying goes but we charge $5 for 25 eggs with $3 postage fee, unless you brave enough to use standard post ($1.40), worms we charge 0.50c a large silkworm, and 0.40c for smaller ones that are on their 4th instar( that is second to last molting to us common folk), note that we don’t always have worms in stock so if you want the correct amount then you can pre-order worms, (usually takes 4 weeks give or take to reach a good juicy size) but with this option a $10 deposit must be put on these orders in case a later cancellation, the deposit wont be reimbursed if canceled. We can supply up to a maximum of 150 worms at the current moment per order(50 if not pre- ordered) for a courier we have two size boxes that we send, depending on the amount of silkworms. below 60 worms we use a regular size, courier will be 6$ without tracking for urban areas all across New Zealand ($1+ with tracking), for rural the added price of $3.70 will be applied to the courier amount(e.g $6 + $1 tracking +$3.70 rural = $10.70). for 60-150 worms we use a larger box and the pricing for this will be $9.50 courier for urban areas ($1+ for tracking) and $3.70 for rural. we promise that we will do all we can to deliver the best quality worms to you but have limited control over the initial courier delivery as this will be the buyer’s and postal service’s obligation and risk, but we will assist were we can to correct any problems. Please note we don’t send worms on extremely hot days as we do not want to stress the poor things out before they reach your doorstep but we mainly send out your little travelers on either Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays at the latest, so that they will arrive before the weekend is due. if you have any suggestions or questions then please don’t hesitate to contact our lovely team.
kindest regards
