Wormman isnt bad. What i do is just google it...alot of places offer weekly specials or free shipping so you can sometimes google a good deal.

Reptilefood.com - They are among the cheapest, and they drop ship from Timberline who produces some of the best insect feeders in the business. $10 a 1000, at least that's what it was when I was ordering Crickets. I'm glad those days are over though.........

I just put in an order from PremiumCrickets.com. It shipped today so I'll let you know how they end up. :) ~$15 for 1000 but the more you buy the cheaper it gets.. Shippings a pain though.

I used to use Premium Crickets but had a very bad experience with their customer service. I personally won't use Premium Crickets anymore, but thats just me. I went to my local pet store and asked if they could order bulk crickets for me and they did. My pet store charges $25 for 1000, and no shipping charges. Another place I found crickets online was Ebay.... although I've never ordered them that way.

I always used premiumcrickets.com usually get a good overcount and if they arrive dead they will take care of it. Ghanns.com is good too.
I tried wormman once. Took him a month to answer an email saying he was out of stock at that time. Asked for a refund and waited 2 months until I finally had to file a dispute to get my money back.

I've not ordered on line. I like to buy mine in larger quantities at reptile shows.....if nothing else, it's a good excuse to go to a show. I've found that it's pretty easy to keep a large number of crickets healthy if you house them right. But I haven't yet had much luck with their breeding.
Here is a really good article about breeding crickets. My crickets seem much more healthy after I followed this article closely!

I've had bad luck with wormman. I ordered something, but it never came, so I have just kind of blown it off. I know I may get criticised for this, but depending on what you are feeding, I would switch to B. Dubia Roaches. They don't smell, make noise, are nutritionally better than crickets and don't infest houses, except I believe they are illegal in Florida. And for those who may think they are the same as cockroaches, they aren't. I have four leopad geckos who eat them as a staple, and they are all happy and healthy. Crickets are much more likely to infest a house than these, and these can't unless the temperature all year is around 80-90 degrees and humidity is extremely high.
If you decide to try them, go with http://www.theroachranch.com/
They have fast service and healthy bugs
Please, don't criticise me for this. I just think they are better.
