Does anyone know if there is a place to get a properly labeled box to ship dubia roaches in? Eustis is leaving tomorrow and I have a small dubia colony that I want to give away.
How to label a box to ship dubia roaches

Just don't spell it Dubai or it won't get where you want it to go. 
I'd go with "live harmless insects" for your label.
@jamest0o0 what did you used to do?

I’ve only mailed off insects once and I wrote ‘live harmless insects’ on the box. The post office did ask me what was in the box and got totally grossed out when I told them it was roaches. 
Serves them right for charging me so much to ship it.

I shipped priority at usps, usually on Monday or Tuesdays. Honestly, I don’t think I often labeled it as live harmless insects because while USPS tends to respect packages more than other companies, there are still people who will intentionally cause harm when they see “fragile”, “live insects”, etc. on the other hand, it’s a gamble if weather is bad because if you have good employees that come across the package, they’ll look out for you if it’s labeled “live” and will often make sure not to leave them in hot/cold mailboxes, outside, etc.

I think maybe I will just offer them locally on Facebook market place. When I gave some to someone else here on the forum I had a box left over from a shipment of bugs I had gotten from rainbow mealworms and it was fine but I don’t have another one. Thanks everyone for your info! I appreciate it!
