Shipping - Domestic
Fees At this time, we are now shipping to-your-door via FedEx. This is a next day service. Fees will vary depending on your zip code location. Because we use non-collapsable, extra thick insulated shipper boxes, our box dimensions are slightly larger and our shipping fees probably average $10-20 higher than standard fees ... but our boas will arrive live. Traditionally, our standard policy has been to ship all animals prepaid via Delta DASH. This is an “airport-to-airport” service and is a same day service from Indianapolis International Airport to your nearest commercial airport. For this service we charge a flat fee of $150. This service is currently being used exclusively for our larger boas as deemed necessary. Our fees cover freight, a quality insulated shipper box, heat/cold pack(s), and clean containers/snake bags. Each shipment is personally packed by Bill himself. Heck, everything is done by Bill (no employees). Process You can be assured that we will not ship to you until we have agreed upon a date. We will email and call you with the appropriate Tracking Information. You should be available to pick up your shipment within 1 hour of its arrival.
