EXPRESS MAILING OF LIVE BIRDS

Express Mailing of Live birds

SORRY I WILL CAN SHIP

ONLY DOVES, PIGEONS ANY QUAIL BY EXPRESS MAIL

I can birds by express mail again. I have done so recently and all went very smoothly. If you are interested please read the terms below. First of all I know that I will not be allowed to mail to all areas in the US. Mailing to you will depend on your location and zip code. I will need your complete address and zip code to determine if your area qualifies for express mail from my area. You may click here to send an email right now. SEND EMAIL I will phone in the zip code and the PO will determine if the birds can be accepted for mailing. That is the first step. If your ZIP CODE is on the list, I can mail to you.

Since I have been shipping by airlines for over a year now I know that is the safest and most risk free way to ship and receive birds. They arrive in a matter of hours and there are no losses and essentially no risk to the birds and buyer. The drawback is expense and hassle. It cost a minimum $100 to ship by air and you must go to an airport to pick them up. Shipping by mail is different, while it is much cheaper, $35-$55 generally, but it is also slower. Birds are in transit usually at least 24 hours and perhaps even 48 hours. There's is no question about that. And once in the mail, neither of us have any control over how long it taks for delivery nor are we capable of tracking the shipment with any degree of reliability.
If you want birds shipped by mail you will have to agree to some acceptance of the risk involved in the birds live arrival. I will NOT be held fully responsible for losses nor will I replace just any bird that is lost in transit. Plain and simple. You want cheaper cost, You must be willing to accept some of the risk. I have no problems shipping most birds by mail and I am confident they will arrive in good shape but if any losses do occur, then we share the losses together and arrive and some acceptable settlement for replacing the birds. I WILL NOT refund $, but I am willing to send replacement birds.
How risky is it? Well it all depends on the types of birds being shipped and perhaps the distance they must travel. Both can play a factor in their safe arrival. If they arrive in 36 hours or less, I feel there is no risk, and I have shipped birds by mail for many years with NO problems, If they arrive on time. If they are delayed, arrive late, or get lost in transit (it can happen but very rare that it does) then there can be problems with stress and some losses might occur.
Birds that do well by Express mail shipping are, most Doves, Pigeons and Button Quail, These are hardy and usually endure even long trips with no problems

The express mailing order is dealt with care, like the delivery of chandeliers. The boxes are marked and placed next to lamps during the flight with a lighting source nearby in order to keep the birds company. The boxes act like lamp shades, prohibiting excess heat.
