SHIPPING
AIR SHIPPING
We have quite a number of top notch couriers who are partners with us. We make use of their services when it requires that the miniature be transported to the buyer’s location. The miniatures are shipped in an airline-approved crate with food and water. They will arrive with their registration, shot record, health guarantee and a large miniature kit taped onto their carrier.
All of our airlines ship using same-day shipping that is safe and secure for the miniatures. They offer priority shipping. If the miniatures do travel in the cargo area, however, it is pressurized and at the same temperature and has the same air filtered in as the passengers breathe. Having shipped miniatures for over 10 years, we have never had a negative incident.
When sent priority, your miniature doesn’t have as much “sitting around” time while waiting for processing. They are guaranteed to be taken immediately off the plane with no long holding periods before, during or after the flight. They are hand delivered to each counter. We do not sedate the miniatures before travel as it is not recommended by our veterinarian.
Most families report that the miniature was made available to them between 15 to 30 minutes from the time the plane arrived. When your miniature arrives, he/she may be picked up in the cargo pickup area or behind the counter of the ticket desk. The airlines does require some form of identification before they will release the miniature to the new owner. After you pick up your miniature and have returned home, we would ask that you call us to let us know how the miniature is doing.
Included with shipment of each miniature is its certified health certificate, vaccination and worming record, registration, miniature food, chew toy, 1 year Health Guarantee, and Pet carrier with food and water dish. (Pet Carrier is only included when shipping by air)
