Initial Shipment Had Documentation Gaps — Resolved Promptly by Supplier
Our first 8 kg order of BSFL arrived with incomplete substrate certification documentation, which created a temporary hold with Australian biosecurity authorities (DAFF compliance check). The larvae themselves were good quality — 18–22 mm, active, minimal mortality — but the paperwork gap caused a 48-hour delay and additional inspection fees. I raised this with the supplier immediately; they acknowledged the oversight, provided the missing organic substrate certification within 24 hours, and committed to a pre-shipment documentation checklist for all future Australian orders. Second shipment cleared without issue. Quality is there — administrative process just needed tightening.
