Live Animal Shipping

​

At Totally Reptiles, we are committed to ensuring the safe and humane transport of live animals. Please review our live animal shipping policy below:

  1. Flat Rate Shipping: We offer a flat rate of $85 for live animal shipments. This rate applies to most destinations within Canada, excluding NU (Nunavut), NT (Northwest Territories), and YT (Yukon). Please note that additional shipping charges may apply to rural and distant areas.

  2. Rural and Distance Surcharges: Some rural or distant areas may require an additional surcharge due to extended transit times or special handling requirements. If you fall into one of these areas you will be contacted with options. If you believe your location falls into this category, please contact us for a shipping quote. If the surcharges exceed a reasonable amount, we will issue a refund.

  3. Shipping Schedule: Live animals are shipped on Mondays and Tuesdays to ensure prompt delivery and minimize the time spent in transit. This schedule allows for optimal conditions and reduces the risk of delays or issues arising from prolonged transit times.

  4. Weather Restrictions: The well-being of our live animals is of utmost importance. Therefore, we do not ship animals during periods of extreme heat or cold. Shipments will be delayed until the temperatures are safe and suitable for the animals. We closely monitor weather conditions and make decisions in the best interest of the animals' health and safety.

  5. Right to Refuse Shipping: In some cases, we reserve the right to refuse shipping if the time in transit is deemed to be too long or if there are concerns about the well-being of the animals. Our priority is to ensure the animals' welfare, and we will make responsible decisions accordingly.

Please note that our live animal shipping policy is subject to change without prior notice. We recommend reviewing the policy periodically for any updates or changes.

If you have any further questions or require assistance regarding live animal shipping, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team. We are here to provide you with the necessary guidance and support.

Thank you for choosing Totally Reptiles. We appreciate your trust in our services and look forward to serving you and your live animal needs.
