US Post Office versus Live Worms
Q: Worms arrived Friday afternoon, somewhat worse for wear due to being left in package drop box of our neighborhood mail box unit in the hot sun by a substitute mail carrier who was unaware of the "live" nature of the box contents. Despite all that, most of the worms (probably 80%) seem to be responding to their new environment (one of your 5 stack worm bins) well. The rest were apparently DOA.
I might suggest that "live contents" be added to your packaging - I am told that if our mail carrier had been aware that the box contained something living, she would have brought it to our house instead of leaving it in the parcel drop. Our package had no such labeling.
A: ..... As to the markings on the box, we intentionally do not mark the boxes. We have found over the many years and thousands of shipments, that when the mail carrier sees "live worms" on the box some of the mail carriers kinda go goofy and mis-handle the package. Like putting the box in a plastic bag and smothering the worms. What I am saying is: we get much less DOAs when we conceal the contents. Sad but true.
