Hello,
I just purchased a cleanup crew from www.reefcleaners.org, based out of Florida. They shipped a crew overnight, in a box with no insulation, and one small heat pack. Snails and hermit crabs were in a single bag with a wet paper towel, the two emerald crabs were each in their own single bags, with a very small amount of water.
The snails are extremely small (see the attached pictures), but worse, the emerald crabs arrived dead. I contacted them, and they refunded the cost of the emerald crabs. However, I only purchased the cleanup crew to get the emerald crabs, as otherwise it was very cost prohibitive for just the other critters I ordered. I could have them send more emerald crabs, but I have to pay overnight shipping again, and they would be sent in the same packaging again.
In conclusion, I would not recommend them, and will be buying local instead.
