    The prices are too high and the customer service could use some work. A long way to drive home discontented.

    My first (and last) order with Speedy Worm was pretty ridiculous...and definitely NOT speedy…read more I ordered 250 worms (and the bait puck) on Wednesday, May 30th (see photo). On Monday, June 4th they told me they were "back ordered" (see photo). It took them 5 days to bother to tell me that they were out of product??? HORRIBLE customer service, definitely asleep at the wheel over at Speedy Worm headquarters. When I contacted them the next day to tell them to cancel, they changed their mind and told me they found some worms and they could ship the following morning. So they shipped the poor little worms, and I finally got my product on Thursday -- a grand total of 8 days from beginning to end. Needless to say, I could have driven to my local Petco a couple hundred times in the amount of time it took this whole fiasco to play out. The ONLY good thing is the worms came alive...but it took 8 days. I could have walked to Alexandria and it would have been faster. I'm not mad that you were out of worms, Speedy Worm. I'm mad that it took you 5 days to tell me. -Daddy Maxx Retro

    I started worm composting around the beginning of the year. My main goals - to have nutritious…read moreworm castings for my fruits/vegetables & to have fishing bait whenever I feel the urge to wet a line. This was my first time purchasing worms online & was unsure of what to expect - will the worms die during shipping?, will the worms be uber-small? etc. I ordered 250 European nightcrawlers during the weekend. Euro's are bigger (around twice the size) than the more common composting worm, the Red Wiggler, which makes them more ideal for bait. Red Wigglers do have the advantage of living longer & reproducing faster. I was notified the shipment was mailed Monday afternoon w/ tracking number and I received them today, Wednesday. I am well pleased. All the worms were lively & large. I recommend Speedy Worm for people interested in starting their own worm composting bin. It's very simple to start & requires little attention.

    Sad to say, Jakes Bikes dissapointed us greatly.We really shopped and researched EBIKES.As they…read moreare $$$$$ We are elderly and our concern was having great support and service.After we bought the ebike the decline began The service took a nose dive after the 2ond summer owning it The bike had very low mileage and somehow the chain fell off. Jake came out and in seconds it was fixed.The next day when my husband was goint to go ride,It would not even start. 1 WEEK later we recieved a bill for the ''CHAIN being put on track" IT WAS ALMOST $200.00!!!!! I was insulted,as he NEVER said that would be the cost.I was stunned when I emailed him and asked why so much He got defencive and stated he told us that is what he charges...I know that we are very cautious when we spend in a luxury.As my jusband is very economicly conservative,he would not do that without a discussion. I was very respectful and he became indignant,and said, that he was charging the fee anyways.It was so much to do a seconds work.He said the bikes are $$$$$$$ so is everything else so much because I sell $$$$$bikes.He did not care that after he left it did not even start! Really, don't you think it was common sence to just allow it to start.I spoke about my years of owning a retail store, and I was so successful becaise not only was I talented.I was never rude or dismissive to a client if they needed anything.When we sell anything thats only a small part,of having 1 sale or getting many!REFERALS ARE A RETAILERS STRONGEST TOOL IN NARKETING He ended up simply acting as if we were being needy and demanding.Stand behind the items you sell.Never argue and act justified in exploiting a vulnerable adult! I call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face. Too bad, I was going to also going to buy a bike,but now? NO. I AM NOT.That act and inflated ego just cost Jake future biz,and services.Penny wise, dollar foolish!

    My go to bike shop in Alexandria. Friendly and great people to work with. They are very…read moreknowledgeable and always happy to help.
