“We're on a standing weekly order — hornworms show up alive and on time, every single week. That only happens when a supplier is actually consistent.”
— Justin @ Datz Cichlids · Wholesale PartnerCommon questions from switching shops
How fast can I get approved?
Apply online and you'll typically have wholesale access within 24 hours. No contracts to sign and no commitments — your first order can be as small as you want.
What happens if worms arrive dead?
Every order carries our live arrival guarantee, year-round. Report a problem and we make it right — that's the whole policy.
What does shipping cost?
Whatever UPS charges us — nothing more. Our box-sizing algorithm picks the cheapest box that protects your order, and you pay our exact rate with zero markup.
Do I need a minimum order?
No, and there are no pricing tiers. $6/cup whether you order 2 cups or 200. We built the program around how small-shop cash flow actually works.
What do you carry besides hornworms?
Silkworms, waxworms, black soldier fly larvae, hornworm eggs, diet, and rearing supplies — plus white-label and stamped cup options for your shelf.
Switching takes one order to judge us.
