I am getting a Marimo ball for my granddaughter for her birthday, it is July 25, 2014. ingIf I order it now, will it be ok in the packing until then?

Hmm, I don't know that i would let it sit for almost a month. Could always order it and put it together, so it's presented like the pic then explain it's simple care. Otherwise if wait until it gets a bit closer to her bday to order it. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting it sit longer than a few days myself or id be afraid of killing it.

Most likely not. When you recieve the ball, it comes in a small bag that it fits perfectly in and contains very little water inside. Not only that, but these Marimo need their water changed 1 - 2 times a week. It's best that you order this item a week to a week and a half before your granddaughter'a birthday. Hope this helped.

Yes I love it and my grandbabys love it as well. They can live to be 200 years

I would wait until you get closer to the date. They deliver pretty quickly!

I would definitely wait until closer to her birthday. Unless you want to assemble her tank before you give it to her :)

I have always received it in the bag as pictured. I know they sell it in a tub some places, but I have never seen it (I saw a picture of it). I just got a new batch a week ago, and it came in the resealable bag, as pictured.

That seems to be a problem with the shipping of the product. I received 2 posts with the ball on top broken off, before one arrived, unbroken. The company did take care of the problem, so that is a positive. Don't know if it could have been fixed or not. That said....I love the mailbox, and have had no problems with its quality since.

I'm sorry but I don't remember her being in a box at all. I think she just came in a plastic bag but I could be wrong. She's really nice and if you want it for a play toy, she's great. If you are looking for saving, ???

It depends on what's noted on the box...each box is different. The supplier (whoever you are buying it from) should be able to tell you. Some have dates quite close. Others a year or more away.

Packaging seemed to be good from this retailer. These are coming from japan so there are alot of places where the box could get damaged in shipping. Either way, the push shouldnt get damaged. If you are that worried about it, you can wait until you find one in stores (my Gf found a Charmander from Tomy, but idk what store it was from). The only problem is that they sell out quick in the states

They say they grind it just before they ship it. I have never seen a date on a package. They have a 30 pound bag available, too, but I live alone and think it might be too much for me. lolBut I have never had a problem with them.

Yes ! I ordered it a month before my daughters birthday last year . You have to keep it at room temperature . Before using it just put it in fridge for 10 min the edible layer pop up to be taken off and ready to put on the cake .

The edible sheets have a shelf life of 12 months when kept in a sealed bag. So you can order yours today even if you don't use it now.

I am wondering the same...Eager to purchase this for my little one, but if it's going to take 1-4 months I will have to purchase from another seller. Can anyone who ordered this play yard comment as to how long it took to receive it after ordering? Thanks in advance!

It is not shipped in it's carry bag. We found that if you leave it in the carry bag it retains a rolled shape and is compressed. We took it out of the carry bag to make sure we did not permanently damage it by leaving it in the carry bag. It would probably be ok to send it overseas compressed as long as it is not stored that way in my opinion.

How long it will take to send there? There was water icy bags packed with it to make it cool. It was still cool when I got it in 6 days shipping. If it takes 3 weeks in summer time, it may ruin, I think. Try it, it works the try.

I live on the east coast and order from the factory all the time. I never have a problem cause they usually ship it with a cold pack to help keep it longer. I usually do 2 day shipping but as long as it's no more than 5 days u should be fine. It gets expensive but if ur like me its totally worth having something from home.

Depends who you order it from. In the past, when it was sold by Amazon, the expiration date had been several months after the date I received the order. But when I received my order from ToysNGamesEtc in November, the "BEST BY" date was a little over 1 month after the date I received it.

I guess it took at least a week for them to arrive. But I ordered them awhile ago so I don't remember exactly. But I mean, its honey so if you order it in advance it isn't going to go bad or anything. Better to order early and have them, than order a week before the event and then have them not show up on time.

I would just order it when the room is ready. I have no clue if it could sit in the box for 2 to 3 weeks and still be ok.
