Orders received Monday and Tuesday will be shipped on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Depending upon your geographic location most orders will be received within two days of shipping.
*Customers in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, eastern North Dakota, eastern South Dakota, and eastern Nebraska, will receive their bait via SpeeDee Delivery on next day service.

When your bait arrives, it will be packaged inside a cooler which is placed inside a cardboard box.

Your leeches will be inside a plastic bag with plenty of oxygen and enough water for a 2 day shipment. We also include an ice bottle to make the bait extra comfortable.

Once the bait arrives, it will be your responsibility to place it in your own container. If you’ve been using leeches or crawlers for some time, you’ll know what to do. However, here are some tips and tricks to help you out - just in case. Additionally, your shipment will include a small sheet of paper including live bait care instructions.

- Leeches should be removed from their shipping container and placed in a live bait bucket of your   choosing. You’ll need to place them in fresh water.
- Be sure the water is chlorine and fluoride free.
- Check the temperature of the leeches, be sure not to shock them by placing them in water that is TOO   COLD. Drastic temperature changes are hard on leeches. You’ll want to gradually lower the temperature   to ensure liveliness.
- Night Crawlers will do best if you add Peat Moss when the shipment is received.
- If you keep Night Crawlers for 2 to 3 weeks, tansfer to fresh, slightly dampened peat moss or Buss Worm   Bedding.
- Should you use Buss Worm Bedding, please follow instructions on the container.
- Store in shallow plastic or styrofoam containers and refrigerate at 40 - 50 Degrees.
