| SORRY! We do not ship!! |
| There are several factors that have lead to this decision. I will try my best to explain our position on this topic. (please do NOT ask, the reply will be the same) |
| STRESS: Even the best shipping conditions and otherwise positive experiences can cause physical stress on many small animals. Since every animal can have their own reaction to any given event, there is no guarantee for these fragile lives. |
| AVAILIBLITY AND ACCESS: While many of us may be located near a central transportation hub, the fast easy connecting flights may not be easy to make. If someone is to travel several hours to a major airport, many factors can interfer with such an event. The last time we check on shipping, I was told by the only airline that they "would not accept shipments of animals, except from those clients that had shiped in the last 12 months. If seller provides proof they had shipped with another carrier in that year, they would carry the animals". This is the only airline that carries animals which also can have direct connections at my (major) airport. There are many good breeders around the country and if you are not near me, please let me know where you are and I will do my best to find you a local breeder. |
| COST vs VALUE: The only approved method in shipping small animals is AIR CARGO. There are those breeders who regularly ship "reptiles" by UPS or USPS, but this is risky, at best. Cost to ship is at least $100 plus the cost of a health certificate, shipping container, etc.... I feel that many young chinchilla's would over stress in a shipping situation. I would never have enough smaller animals at one time to make it worth the cost of shipping a group. |
