Do they need to be Overnight/ Two day ok? Three even?

I am going to send some B.Dubia to one of our fellow boadrers and I want to save him some cash if at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

I think most people who sell roaches use priority shipping (2-3 days). Not sure if live arrival is guaranteed this way but it depends on who's selling them. A couple days in the mail shouldn't hurt anything.

We've sent 80+ shipments of roaches USPS Priority with only 2 having a problem.
Both were adult distanti and were extreme mileage. Coast to coast.
We've now found out the nymphs of this species seem to handle the shipping the best.
No problems with any of the others specie though.
Of course we try not to ship in extreme cold conditions and our packaging methods have been refined over the time.
And our larger shipments are sent overnite for obvious reasons.

Hope this helps,
