* Alive Arrival Guarantee (only the first 30 hours). We are using the priority shipping. If the courier takes 30 hours or more – the client takes responsibility for any livestock deaths as once you received your tracking details you need to keep track of your parcel. The 30 hour DOA cover starts when the courier picks up the parcel. We only refund the value of the DOA livestock and not the shipping value. The shipping value is for your own account even if you do place another order. If you are located in an outlying area – please contact us for estimated delivery times.
We only ship 24 hours after payment is reflecting in our account.
* To claim your Alive Arrival Guarantee, you must take a clear photo of the dead livestock in the original bag (Not Opened) within 1 hour of picking it up from the courier or receiving it and it must be within 30 hours from the time the courier picks up the livestock. We have the right to decline any Alive Arrival Guarantee.
