Where to buy crickets?

I need to find a place to buy 1/2 in and smaller crickets, about 500 every month or so, that accepts PayPal. I would LOVE to find something as close to AZ as possible and I think anything "back east" wouldnt survive the travel. Currently I am paying 9cents per cricket and they are not the best quality and are a bunch of sizes. lol. Thank-you!

i have tried several criket companies and the best hands down, has been top hat cricket farm, their cutomer service and delivery has been the best of all, you go through a lot of hedaches before you will find this out, so just order from them and save yourself the trouble, the few extra bucks are well worth it.

The only site I can think of off the top of my head that sells bulk crickets and takes PayPal is wormman.com. 500 count boxes are $21 shipped, which is 3.7 cents per cricket. You'll get a better deal if you buy 1,000 though, since it's only $2 more. You might try there.

Distance being shipped isn't much of a deal, if the crickets are packaged correctly and have a heat pack. Most places ship them either overnight or 2-3 day air.

Thanks! I will have to check out those places!
I dont know if I could keep 1000 crickets lol. I might just buy 1000 crickets and sell them to my LPS.
