Hi everyone I'm currently swamped in emails etc and trying my hardest to get back to everyone.
If you have sent a message via messenger and haven't had a reply, can you please email me at [email protected]

I have a problem with messenger (well a few) where I don't get notified/ I get notified but can't get in/ I can only see 1 previous message or I can see zero previous messages!

I've also had email issues but that's under control now, so please do drop me a message if I haven't got back to you.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Megan

We will return in the new year when hopefully royal mails backlog will be clear. Sorry for the inconvenience. Merry Christmas

Good evening. Just wanted to do a quick update.

First small reminder, we only ship on days with at least 2 working/non strike days following. November does not look good!

Orders made between 18th and 25th October are all now dispatched. Due to the sheer volume that built up, it took me 2 days to get them cleared.
Thank you for bearing with us while postal strikes stopped dispatch.

Tomorrow I will be packing orders from 26th and 27th.

Strikes aside I just wanted to update usual postage.

When we were in the early days of business we generally posted same day if orders were placed in time for packing before postage run. This unfortunately is no longer the case since we've grown.
We are now just over a year old and the amount of orders received on a daily basis take me at least 2-3 hours just to get all invoices and postage labels printed, I then pot up thousands of pupae and flies, box up, tape up, labels on. Of course I will always do my best to get things out ASAP and if you have an emergency I will always prioritise where I can.

Please place all orders via website/ebay (but preferably website) as all orders are printed via the website then postage labels from them. If your order isn't in my pile printed from the website you unfortunately end up back of the queue.

Did you know we also have a bigger inventory on the website?

As always, the best way to contact is [email protected]

I think that's all for now. Sorry its so long (as usual 😂)

Hugh if you're here please drop me an email. Ebay has given me a postage label in this name but I cannot find the order in ebay or via website (which logs both website orders and ebay) so I have no idea what I'm meant to be sending 😩 possibly the weirdest problem I've ever encountered.

Please note we can only post on days that have a minimum of 2 working/non strike days following.

If kept correctly live flies should last 2 weeks.

Thursdays are our last post days before the weekend currently as 1st class is generally arriving on the 2nd day after posting.
If you'd like to get your order in before the weekend please order ASAP, I'll be printing invoices/postage in the morning 🪰

Sophie Baird, if you are here can you drop me an email please. My website is being ridiculous and won't let me find your details 🤦‍♀️

Good evening everyone.

Quick one today 😂

I'm pretty sure I'm up to date on emails/messages.

All orders placed between Thursday evening and yesterday evening have all been dispatched.

Our eBay is currently still closed but website is business as usual.

Royal mail are still as fantastic as they have been the last month or so and 1st class generally still isn't getting there the next day.

Reminders
•We aren't posting Fridays at the moment as orders end up stuck in transit over the weekend.
•The best way to contact us is via email at [email protected]

(Picture just to make you look 😍)
