About shipping & local pickup

We currently ship with UPS, WE NO LONGER SHIP WITH USPS unless you are in Colorado.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE FEDEX YOU WILL NEED TO PLACE YOUR ORDER AND SELECT LOCAL PICKUP AS AN OPTION AND ADD A NOTE THAT YOU WANT TO USE FEDEX.  WE WILL  THEN REACH OUT TO YOU WITH THE PRICING AND INFVOICE YOU SEPERATE FOR THE SHIPPING. Our site does not calculate FEDEX shipping which is the reason for this. 

Live arrival guarantee: Included with UPS NEXT DAY AIR. 

All of our orders are packed with love, we include ice packs and ship in insulated boxes clearly marked "LIVE FISH" (although axolotls aren't fish, they are aquatic so this gives the carrier the info they need on what is inside).    

During the summer we may halt shipping for some time due to temps or may only offer Overnight shipping as an option. 

Axolotls need to be fasted for 3-5 days prior to shipping so please allow us that time before we ship.  We ship on Tuesdays only.
