Quantity Discounts on Crickets

Mattman Apr 09, 2004 05:13 PM

Does anyone know of any Cricket Companies that offer quantity discounts on large orders of crickets? The offer I received was $8.50 per thousand. Anyone know of any other places that I could try? You can e-mail me with their names as well. Thanks Matt

I personally need a standing order of around 10-15 maybe more weekly plus 1000 super worms once a month. On the other hand I also have someone asking me to look for them as they are looking for a new supplier because the one he had was charging him 13 per thousand plus shipping, and he was ordering 12,000 a week which he thought was pretty high for the quality he was getting. So we are going into together since we live close by and are trying to get a fair price for this size order weekly. If not reptilefood.com here I come LMAO

I forget just how much mine were but get mine at Premiumcrickets.com. One of the things you should as is the quality and the number of crickets you actually get. I received not one dead cricket and all mine were plump and large, so I am happy with that company even if it turns out I can get them a few cents cheaper elsewhere.

WOW Lucille not one dead that is pretty darn good out of a thousand. Do you remember how much you paid for them, and where they were shipped from? Your right quality is very important. Just trying to see what is available. Nothing wrong with that right

Hey Matt,
When you get the name of a cheap cricket supplier, drop me a line. I'm spending $20 a week on just 1000 crickets from reptilefood.com... Good quality, but getting a little pricey since I want to buy 5000 and its gonna cost me about 60. Thnx

He has a website I think www.premiumcrickets.com but I think they are more expensive than yours. Worth looking at tho.
