Australia Wide Shipping

Cricket King ships to all areas of Australia through Australia Post. Australia Post offers Express Post for shipping your crickets. Express Post does next day delivery for many areas in Australia, while other areas may take 1 - 3 days. To check and see if you live within one of these areas you can either check the Australia Post Delivery Areas or use our simple postcode checker.

Checkout Postage and Dispatch Dates

Postage is calculated at checkout from your current cart, delivery destination, packaging and available postage services. You must choose an available dispatch date at checkout, and the final payable amount is shown before you approve payment.

Live crickets are temperature sensitive. We may hold, delay or move live-cricket orders to a safer dispatch window if weather, public holidays, carrier limits, quarantine, biosecurity or legal restrictions make delivery impractical. See our Terms & Conditions for claims, refunds and live-arrival rules.

Packaging

When you make an order, your crickets are measured out into the right quantity and then put into a calico bag with egg cartons and enough food and carrot slices to last them a few days. The bag is made from a breathable fabric so the crickets have plenty of ventilation. Your crickets are then placed inside a cardboard box (which has plenty of airholes drilled all around it) to keep them safe.
