It recently became department policy to purchase all our animal care supplies online and have them shipped, but my work location (public park) doesn’t have a mailbox, so we’ve been getting things shipped directly to the post office. Today I went to pick up a shipment of several hundred superworms but the postal workers are insisting that it’s not possible to have packages shipped directly to the post office. I gave them a tracking number which revealed they were delivered a couple days ago and now they’re looking for them. Somewhere in the post office are 500 lost worms.

I can’t believe the post office lost my worms

Update: they found my worms!!!!

Package of bugs in two white boxes taped together with cricket graphics on them and canisters taped to the top. It's sitting on a post office counter.ALT

The postal worker put these in front of me like she was delivering a bomb.

Honestly I can’t blame the postal worker; my advisor lost his grub ordering privileges after he failed to pick up a delivery from the front desk on time and they all hatched and escaped.

They told me not to have live bugs designated as Hold For Pickup anymore :(

iwannabitemylandlord: Fun fact: I have a lot of Porch Pirates. Funnier fact: I seem to have a lot fewer Porch Pirates since they've stolen 2,000 crickets and opened a box of 60 frozen rodents (I assume that these are the same people each time and then The Cricket Incident is why they opened the rodent box instead of just stealing it).ALT

I’m sorry you lost your 2,000 crickets but knowing the thief probably unleashed thousands of crickets inside their house or car is the kind of thing everyone who’s had a package stolen dreams of.
