The order was easy to place, and I received confirmation for my order in a timely manner. The following Monday I still hadn't received the shipment or shipping confirmation so emailed the company. They were quick to reply, letting me know that the orders always ship on Mondays and my order would arrive soon. On Wednesday the worms arrived! |

Shipping live products (in the hot months) does have it risks but they sent me more worms free of charge ASAP when the worm did arrive perished due to heat once. Jeff the office manager was as nice as could be. |
Positive | Aliana (1 review) | On Jun 9, 2010, Aliana Francestown, NH wrote: Worms arrived quickly and in good shape. I like that they were shipped in a light soil, not coir. Appears to me that these traveled better than worms I bought from another source. These were shipped from PA to NH. I recommend that you order worms when you expect weather to be moderate, to promote survival of the worms. |

The worms were in good condition, and after a little drink like the instructions said, they were wriggling around together happily. I am quite satisfied with the product and the service. |

Uncle Jims quickly replaced the shippment. :-) I have reordered from them to add to my soil worm population every time I turn soil in my garden I find fat worms working away. I am currently waiting for more super Reds for a new bed and a "can-o-worms" with red wrigglers to eat up my kitchen scraps to produce tea and castings. |

My worms got here two days before I thought they would be here. I had to rush and get my worm bed together. I opened up their unique worm holder and all 2000 of my worms were just smiling and ready to go. It has been two weeks and all is well. |

I called on the following monday 1-4-2010 and was told the worms were shipped that same day. I included my e-mail address and asked them to contact me if there was any problem. Best if they had I would not have to stay home waiting all week. So. tuesday I went to a movie in the middle of the day and lo and behold The mail person had left a delivery notice in the mailbox. anyway, I got the worms today and they seem o.k. |

I was very angry at the time and as it turn’s out also very inconsiderate. I’ve since had correspondence with Uncle Jim I can attest to the fact that Uncle Jim is in no way a criminal or thief of my money. He reshipped and my worms have arrived alive and healthy although cold, they have recuperated nicely. I’m very sorry that I acted so hastily in my condemnation of Uncle Jim. He bares absolutely no resemblance to the criminal mentioned in my post and I hope that he forgives me for being so harsh. His communication problems were electronic and not of his doing. I was wrong in my negative post and will be ordering more worms from Uncle Jim. I would like to wish him, and his family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. |

The kit arrived in good time, with a nice pile of heathly-looking worms. I set it up according to the instructions, and 2 months later I have so many worms I don't know what to do with them all! They are robust and lively and are reproducing at an incredible rate - I am very impressed! |

Positive | Gotspiccoli (1 review) | On Sep 1, 2009, Gotspiccoli Rochester, NY wrote: > There are two things that drive me crazy! First is the price of worms for fishing and the second is the price of top soil for gardening. In order to decrease these expenses I decided to start my own Vermiculture tank or a "Worm Box" if you will. I am a bit of an obsessive best deal shopper so I researched every site on the web that I could find and every store in my neighborhood to find the best prices. This is when I discovered Uncle Jims Worm Farm. By far they had the cheapest prices for red wiggler worms around. I did come across a website that said their are some fraduelent websites out their so I became sceptical. I figured since this site seems pretty legit I ordered 2000 worms. They came just two days after my order was processed. All of the worms where very healthy and vibrant. They where a little small but there is an advice guide also included with the purchase which is very helpful. Within this advice guide it explains how transportation can in fact lead to weight loss but they should quickly bounce back once introduced to a new enviroment with moisture and food. Since I was so skeptical much to my girlfriends dismay I decided to count the worms. All 2,000 of them and actually (Sorry Uncle Jim) I actually rec'd 2,048 worms (BONUS!). SO needless to say, I felt my first large order of worms went perfectly. I will be sure to shop agian when I get into those super red wigglers he has on the site! Thank you Uncle Jim for making this a simple, safe inexpensive priocess for me! My garden and the fish of upstate NY also thank you! |

Positive | OKkiss (1 review) | On Apr 26, 2009, OKkiss Tulsa, OK wrote: I think the trick is to order worms when the temperatures are mild. I placed my order on a Thursday in April. The man who took my order was not very friendly, but not mean, just not a talker. He did not confirm my mailing address with me and I was a little worried after I hung up and realized it. A while later, I received an E-mail confirming my order and the correct address was included. He told me that they would prepare my order over the weekend and mail it on Monday. My healthy and hungry worms arrived in the U.S. Postal Service on my front porch on TUESDAY!!! The worms were packed in a mesh bag inside a cardboard box with a little newspaper for padding. Yea! for Uncle Jim's and my postman for getting them here quickly. I have had them for about a week and they are adjusting to their new home very well. |

Uncle Jim's worms are just the right size shape and color to trick even the most savvy trout. they fight to see who can be the first gobble up that juicy wriggler - no joke. They are the best! |

I inadvertently entered my own shipping address for a worm farm intended to be sent to my nephews in another state. Jim was very understanding and helpful. Said he would send a worm farm to the corrected address at no extra cost. I recommend this site and will continue to tell all my friends with young children about the great service I received. |

I put them into my worm bin immedately upon delivery.Bedding was dry ;on purpose; so I wet it down thouroughly before puting lid on bin. Sat 9/20 checked worms for first time , there were no worms on the under side of lid; surface of bin full of very alive and active worms which disappeared immediately;a good sign that they were happy where they had been put. |

None seemed to be the worse for wear in the shipping. I think the previous poster was ill served by the post office. This is my first experience with worm farming and I am looking forward to it. |
