repeat customer
Mike and Dee,
I ordered red wigglers from you a year or so ago, and went from one small
bin to 3 moderate sized, and they are doing very well.... plus I have given away a couple pounds and used some for fishing
(I know, how cruel! :-O )
Well, today I just ordered Africans :) and I am ordering from your company
because I had great results from the previous order. The worms had arrived quickly and healthy and I experienced no negative
issues.
If you have any advice on care for the Africans I would greatly appreciate
:)
Blessings, Cheryl
Hi Mike and
Dee, My husband loves the worm farm we purchased from you and
checks on the little wigglers all the time. They are doing great! We are highly recommending worm farms to our friends
and family. Now Scott is just sure we need a few rabbits to feed our worms. Your guide arrived promptly and we can't wait to read and learn from it.We would very much like
to take a tour of your farm. Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 8:42 PM

Dear Mike, I received my order today at 16:00. The worms were alive
and kicking, very good packed. To be honest
with you I was afraid
they would be all dead. You proved me veryyyyy wrong. They are
stored for the night in two
containers with shredded newspaper and
will be split tomorrow in five bins, one pound per bin. If you have
any available
can you send me pictures of your outdoor wooden bins.
As soon as this batch is settled, I will be ordering some more
worms. Thanks for the great service and patience after my panic
reactions. John H. Scheidelaar Kaya Nechi Pieters 11 Curacao

Dee, My name is Megan and I spoke to you yesterday (Wed) regarding my problem
with placing an order from another vendor. May I first thank you for calling me back, helping me out, and making me
feel like I was a valued customer BEFORE was had even placed an order. Thanks for answering my crazy questions and being
patient with me. Needless to say, I canceled my order with the previous vendor (I was uncertain based on complaints
I had read about him anyhow.) and placed my order with you. I'm sure you will receive the order and I again thank you
for your help! I look forward to doing continued business with you. Regards, Megan Mondragon
I recently purchased worm castings for
my small vegetable garden in Spring Hill. You were very polite and professional in helping me with my questions
both the gentleman and the two young girls on Friday. You may advertise being a small family business but you were
big in helping me. God bless you. This is the first time I am using worm casting and will let you know
how I make out. Pet that shaggy dog for me. Thank you, John Masterson
Thank you Mike
and Dee, The African Nightcrawlers arrived
today. They were in great shape and I was very pleased with the condition and the generous count. They seem quite
content in their new bin. I've seen no indication of any tendency to migrate. I've got them bedded in a mixture
of Black Soldier Fly residue and newsprint. My Eisenia Foetida seem to thrive in it and I'm hoping the Eudrilus eugenia
will too! I keep a blog about raising Black Soldier Flies and will soon be doing an entry about stocking your worms
in my bin. I'll make it a point to mention Best Buy Worms and how happy I was with your product and service when I do! Thanks

Hi ..
The worms arrived in great shape in 8 days
and are in active good health in spite of our cold snap (about 10 F).
The packaging is great and the number of
worms generous.

enough to keep a fish alive as well as put some in a new garden we had just started. Next order, I had time to search a bit...and
found you! I don't think I will EVER use another company. Your worms are much more vigorous and lively! Your prompt shipping
and outstanding communication/customer service are added bonuses that will definitely keep me from looking any further! Thanks
again so much! Take Care and keep up the AWESOME job!! I'm happy to have started your day off on a good note! YES, you may absolutely use
my words! Trust me, if I ever stumble across anyone looking for worms, I will send them your way!!!
******************************************************************************* Hi, just wanted to let you know that I received all the worms in excellent shape! None died and they
seem to be acclimating well in the compost bin. I was worried of having them shipped to Michigan in the winter but they made
it perfectly with excellent packaging.
I had a question though, how do I tell the difference between the red worms vs.
africans? Since they were bed run they all are similar in size and it would be nice to know the difference. Do
you know the approximate ratio of the ones you sent me? Also I split the worms in half, one in each bin. One bin
I had used old potting soil from the summer time, is this ok or do you recommend I replace it with newspaper/peat moss mixture
since it might be more decomposed already?
Feel free to use this in the testimonials and if you want I would be
happy to write a better one :)

Mike & Dee,
I am EXTREMELY impressed! Worms arrived today - the Thursday after being shipped on
Monday. From Florida to Talkeetna, Alaska!
They are healthy and happy and already wiggling around in
the compost bin eating up our winter digestibles. Thank you --- and the pen was a very nice additional touch of
actually caring about your customers. It's comforting to know that small business service is still alive and well.
I'll be passing the good word along. Thanks again! Best, Jim Jim Kloss HC89 Box 8109 Talkeetna, Alaska

Hi Mike & Dee, We received our worms yesterday. They are all very strong. Like what
you said on your website, we noticed that your 5 lbs. of worms has more than anybody else's that we had purchased in
the past. Thank you so much for your honesty! We will definitely order from you again, if we ever need
to buy more in the future. Once again, thank you. Have a blessed day! Best regards, Chi

Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 12:13:29 -0500 Hello. My name is Chris Greer. Today I received
my order of worms (2 lbs. of Eisenias) that I recently ordered from your company. I just want to say that I am extremely impressed
with your company. 2 days ago, I received an e-mail from your company saying that my order had been shipped out, and today
I received my worms. Also, I was also impressed with the quality of worms I received. These worms were a lot bigger that the
ones that I recently ordered from another company. After doing some research about that company, I found out that they do
not come highly recommended with orders, quality of worms, or customer service. That is why I decided to try business with
your company, and boy am I glad I did. Not only did I get bigger worms, and faster delivery, but you also send 2 papers with
advice on how to properly raise and care for worms. I will certainly be doing business with you again, soon. Before I go,
I would like to ask a question. If this worm bin goes well, I would like to start another bin of worms, only this time with
African Nightcrawlers. After some research, I discovered that the African Nightcrawler is supposed to produce as much, if
not more, worm casting. Can you verify if this is correct? Also, if I do decide to start a bin of Africans, can I raise them
the same way as Eisenias, or do they require another method? Any help would be appreciated. Again, thanks for the great service.
I will certainly be doing business with you again, and I will certainly tell all my friends about your company.
(HI Chris, to answer your questions, the African
castings are superior and you can raise them the same way you raise Eisenias.) D:)
You made my day, can I put your wonderful words on our web site!
D:)
Dee,
Feel free to use my e-mail for your
site. I hope I produce worms as good as yours, eventually.

Subject: More Worms please!
Hi Dee,
Loved the worms. The garden mix has been great at composting.
I had
one worm-tastrophy when I followed the composters directions that said
"let the worms acclimate a day
before feeding". The bottom tray fed on
the top tray, the top tray worms went a'lookin for food. Had a few dead
ones in the AM.
Your shipment was tooo good for my composter, heh heh. They arrived
healthy and wiggling.
I like the vertical composter for fishing worms,
but I have decided to set up a bedrun of the garden mix as I have a
lawn
care product using worms in mind. So send some more of your wonderful
worms. I put in for another 5lbs.
Thanks,
John Borrelli

about your Krazy Carrie incident.
Hey Dee & Mike,
Have spent the last two days pouring through blogs and worm
forums trying to get an understanding of what the heck was going on with this crazy "lady". On behalf
of those of us who have enjoyed great service from you, I almost feel like I need to apologize for her behavior. I suppose
some people just don't understand the tight profit margins business owners are operating under today. I have had
some small success selling castings over the Internet, but it's not like I could give up my day job at this point. Much
as I would like to! Just wanted to throw my two cents in and let you know that people like her are in the minority. I
will continue to be a customer of yours and will also continue to recommend you when people ask for reliable worm sellers.
My worms are still plugging along and now that warmer weather is here, I hope to see them take off. Hope the rest of
your year is less stressful and that most of the crazy people will find someone else to bother. Best of luck for the remaining year.

and Dee, The worms showed up this evening and were fine. I have them in their new home and they all burrowed
under. Thanks so much for the email and I will spread the word to my friends. The mail lady just had to know
what I was getting from a Company that had a name Rabbits Etc. and Best buy worms. I told her it was baby bunnies and
her mouth flew wide open. Then I showed her the worms and she wants to get some for her husband to be. So you
never know where and how the word gets around. Thought you might get a kick out of that one. Very Satisfied

I purchased from you are starting to eat me out of house and home. I have been raising EFs for the past few years and was
used to their feeding schedules. I think the ANCs are eating twice as much as their EF cousins. Guess I will need to make
more trips to the horse stables across the river in order to keep up with them. Can't complain though. The more they consume
the more castings I end up with.
Thanks a million for the help, Buddy Bourne

We received our worms on
Friday 5/16 and they were in good shape. The next morning we had lost a few, and several were limp and lifeless... but
by Sunday, after they had settled in and had a bite to eat, they were all looking really good.
Thanks for providing
good service at a good price!
Sure, you can share my note on your web site. Good service is getter harder
to find these days, it's a real treat to have a friendly, no hassle transaction.

HI,
Just wanted
to let you know.. that the worms arrived in PERFECT condition!!
Well packed and handled with care. They have found
their new home with wet shredded paper the peat they were packaged with and lil compost waste ( just a little ground up egg
shell and coffee grounds).... That had been waiting for them 48 hours prior to their arrival....to be a very happy fit for
them.
It's been over 24 hours now in their new home and they are already doing what worms to best!
If I
ever need any more.... and I know others who are thinking of getting worms... I'll send my business your way.
Thank you for a very pleasant transaction, great communication and instructions.
Amy McGrath. April 5,2008 Thank you so much. The Africans arrived just moments ago...and I must say that
I am VERY pleased! When you guys send out a pound of worms, you send out a full pound! (Or in this case, three pounds). All
are healthy and very active. Having such a broad range in maturity is a very good thing. Younguns to eat lots, larger ones
to breed - as I said, I'm very happy with the shipment. As I add beds and have need of more stock, rest assured that
you will be the first people I contact. As to a testimonial, you most certainly may use
my words. It is refreshing to be able to give glowing reports about good and helpful people nowadays, and I certainly
don't mind doing just that. With the help of folks like yourself, I really would like to make a small difference and
do a bit of good. I intend to keep my business with folks who have proven themselves, and
you certainly have done that. Larry Gault 1/08
