Shipping is a flat rate of $90 for quantities of animals weighing up to 9 lbs total. If you purchase an animal from us and request shipping, the animal will be sent to your nearest major airport of choice in a climate controlled area of a commercial flight. We do our best to insure that animals being shipped are in transit for the least amount of time possible by booking direct flights or ones with the shortest layover available. To avoid the busiest travel times we book flights for Tuesdays and Thursdays ONLY. If you purchase an animal directly through the website we will book a flight within 24 hours (weekdays) or 48 hours (weekends) of your purchase and email you the flight info. Orders placed Wednesdays-Saturdays will be shipped the following Tuesday and orders placed Sunday-Tuesday will be shipped the following Thursday, unless specified otherwise. Animals are usually ready to be picked up from the ticket counter or cargo facility within 30 minutes to an hour of their flight arriving and we will provide you with the location of pick-up with your flight information. We guarantee live arrival but request that you contact us if there are any concerns with the health of the animal within 3 hours of the flight landing. Flat rate shipping for smaller mammals that do not require a health certificate (i.e. hedgehogs, sugar gliders, prairie dogs, ground squirrels) is $90 (subject to change) for one or multiple.
