i got the cheapest shipping,but still got my pods quick and 100% alive.the pods are huge and there are so many i cant believe it.this was by far the best batch of pods i ever saw and i am so very very happy with them.ive gotten the bottles from other places ,but they were microscopic and it looked like there were a hundred or two for maybe $20+ less,but there is NO comparison to what i just received.these are adults mostly that are going to be re- producing way more than was in those bottles.these pods are in a league of their own,simply amazing
