SHIPPING COSTS
2024 Shipping Rates
Fedex & UPS Largest Shipping Rate Increase Ever! Those increased costs are an average of $14 per shipment for home deliveries on Overnight Priority Service. We are only passing on a $3 increase but please note we go beyond what most reptile companies offer using the highest end insulated boxes, heat packing (winter) or cool packing (summer) and even expensive tech cryo-paks when necessary and available. IMPORTANT: If you live in a rural area Fedex & UPS tacks on rural delivery fees and we reserve the right to contact you and give you options for shipping to your nearest Fedex or UPS Center or paying the additional rural delivery costs.
Live animal orders - $47.95 Fedex & UPS Overnight Priority Delivery + $12 Box & Packaging Fees (2024 $3 Total Increase) 
Frozen Feeders - $39.95 Flat Rate (up to 100% fill of the box)
Live Insects - $15.95 for First Live Feeder Quantity and $7.95 For Additional Live Feeder Quantities
