All other items I buy from here are excellent, however, the drosophilia repeatedly arrive crawling with mites, meaning no flies hatch.

No flies but plenty of lavae. 50% of contents were squashed and had leaked. Sales team will tell you that this is an acceptable way to be delivered to you, even if royal mail have to repackage before delivering

order number 359617 just received a delivery of four fruit fly cultures ,i have ordered these many times over the years and the quality has always been very good ,this time however it has not been up to the usual high standard .What i received was four tubs of what looked like large lumps of culture dumped in the middle of the pots no wood shavings at all and one of the pots was half filled with cotton wool with the lump of culture underneath it .This was not due to the rough treatment it gets coming through the post with the culture getting mixed up with the wood shavings there are just no wood shavings at all .I do not know if you have changed suppliers because this is not up to your usual good standard

ok, i know there is red writing to cover themselves from the digusting way you receive the package. The parcel is actually falling apart to the point where Royal mail had to send it in pieces in a bag. I deserve to have this sent to me in better condition. The pots they use are unsuitable for sending out in the post and I suggest that they change their containers. If want fly cultures to reach you in better condtion buy from ADVANCED HUSBANDRY. Their pots are actually suited to sending out in the post. I am very disappointed in the service that I have received and even the after sales was disappointing.
