Our first order of 1,000 live sub-adult grasshoppers for clinic feeding trials included a noticeable proportion of oversized adults (70mm+), which posed a choking risk for juvenile reptile patients. We flagged this immediately and the supplier responded within 6 hours, issued a partial replacement shipment of correctly graded 35–45mm nymphs at no charge, and updated our account profile with the correct size specification. The resolution was professional and fast. Nutritional quality of the replacement batch was verified satisfactory. Upgraded to 4 stars on next order — keeping this at 3 for the initial experience.
