Interactive FAQ:
• When will my order ship?
Order Processing Schedule:
Supply Orders: 1-2 Business Days
Feeder Orders: 1-2 Business Days*
Plant Orders: 1-3 Business Days*
* Weekend Hold Notice:
To ensure the best chances of live arrival, we schedule perishable orders to avoid the 2-3 day delay associated with shipping over weekends. If your order contains perishables and was placed before a weekend, it will likely ship Monday for a quicker & safer transit! ♥ This applies to orders containing perishables only, not supply orders.
• Has my order shipped?
We send an "Order Shipped" email once your package is outbound to the email address that you included during checkout. (Check SPAM too!) If you haven't received a "shipped" email and it's been longer than what's described in our Order Processing Time, please contact us for info. (support@neherpetoculture.com / 203-768-3414)
• Check an order's status
Our small business does not store sensitive customer data on our server, so we don't offer an on-site way to check order status. Instead, we offer "order confirmation", "order shipped", and "order delivered" updates via email. Be sure to check the email address you provided during checkout!
• How long will shipping take?
• Standard Shipping: 1-5 business days (Map)
• Express Shipping: 1-2 business days (Map)
• Are perishables guaranteed?
Perishable Guarantee:
Our live arrival guarantee applies to all perishable orders which have a qualifying shipping method selected during checkout. If temperatures fall within the guaranteed range listed in the shipping method (shown in-cart), and the order is accepted on the first delivery attempt, the order's contents will qualify for our live arrival guarantee! If any guarantee-eligible perishables arrive in less-than-great condition, please email photos to support@neherpetoculture.com within 12 hours of receipt to qualify. We make this process easy, and will replace or refund any damaged products for you ASAP! Orders with items totaling $30 or more qualify for free replacement shipping. Orders under $30 may have replacements included with a future order, or after covering a shipping fee.
• Can I add something to my order?
You are able to add to a pending order up until it has been packed for shipping. Use our Add On tool to mark your new shopping cart's contents as an add-on, without paying another shipping fee.
