Drygoods and Livestock must be placed in separate orders or your order may be canceled.
Please leave a note with your order if you would like your order shipped on a specific day. Please allow at least 1 day for shipping when requesting a shipping day. Please note that we can't hold orders for more than 7 days.
We don't ship livestock for Friday or Saturday delivery as it's to risky.
We only ship within the Continental United States. We can't ship to PR, HI, or AK.
We also can't ship to PO boxes.
Fulfillment issues:
In the rare event that an item happens to be oversold or damaged we will refund you for that item. If you would like to be contacted first so you can choose a replacement item please let us know in the order notes and we will contact you before shipping if this happens (please note that this may delay shipping until the next available shipping day we have open). We try to ship out orders so they arrive the day requested since many customers miss work to receive their order. That is why we refund oversold or damaged items vs waiting for a reply and delaying the order.
Coupons/Gift cards:
We can't apply coupons or gift cards to orders already placed. Please be sure that the coupon or gift card that you are trying to use has been applied to your order before you check out. If you have any questions about a coupon or gift card that you are trying to use please contact us via the chat button, at the bottom right of the screen, before placing the order.
Shipping:
Orders are shipped in the order we receive them, usually in 0 to 5 shipping days (unless otherwise stated). To keep your critters safe and thriving, we only ship livestock on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We skip Mondays because carriers often face delays after the weekend, and we don’t ship Thursdays or Fridays—weekend holdovers are just too risky for live animals.
Please leave a note with your order if you would like your order shipped on a specific day. Please allow at least 1 day for shipping when requesting a shipping day. Please note that we can't hold orders for more than 7 days.
We only ship within the continental United States. We can't ship to PR, HI, or AK, we also can't ship to PO boxes.
Shipping is non refundable since we don't get a refund for shipping charges after a package has already shipped.
If we have shipped your order we can't refund shipping charges.
Order add on’s:
If your order hasn't shipped we can usually add to it. If you want to add to your order just go ahead and place another order and put a note with the order. We will refund the extra shipping charge once we process the order. Add on orders do not count towards any free shipping offers.
Address correction and refusals:
Any address correction charges we receive from UPS/Fedex will be charged to the customer. UPS/Fedex charge us around $21 for address correction so please make sure your address is correct. If your package is refused or returned for any reason you will be charged the actual shipping charges for both trips. If your livestock order is refused or returned you will also be charged for any items that don't survive the trip as well.
Returns: There are no returns allowed on livestock items. Please see the
Livestock Guarantee for details if you have a livestock death.
