Ordering ladybirds or ladybird larvae online

Anyone done this? How did it work out? My sweet peas are looking really good but I've noticed quite a few aphids. I could manually remove them but I do love ladybirds & tempted to order some

Yes I ordered live ladybirds online, came through no problems with clear instructions, rather predictably they flew away after about a week of aphid munching- but you may have more luck in a green house.

I ordered the larvae last year, worked really well. There are still some hanging about this year

Can I ask where you got them? Cherry tree has lots of black aphids & not seen any ladybirds or larvae for months.
