The culture is in working condition still

Reviewed on February 14, 2026.

The culture itself is working well, but shipping was not gentle with this package. It was on its self when they delivered it be the container had been crushed, cracking it in two places. I was able to unbend it and used masking tape to close it back off. I'm using an additional container to support the containers integrity. I would suggest adding a handle with care and LIVE creatures stamp in red or something like that to the side. The green doesnt really scream important, so maybe that would.. idk. It seems this was salvaged though.

My first order was damaged in shipment. After contacting them, they immediately sent out fresh cultures. I will order from them again every time.
