How We Handle Shipping
At Fluffy Feet Poultry Farm, we prioritize the safe and timely delivery of our chickens and eggs. Our shipping process is designed to ensure your products arrive fresh and in excellent condition. Below, we explain how we handle shipping for different items.
Shipping Methods
We offer several shipping options to meet your needs:
- Standard Ground Shipping: Reliable and cost-effective for eggs and non-perishable items, typically delivered within 3-5 business days.
- Express Shipping: Faster delivery for urgent orders, usually within 1-2 business days.
- Live Animal Shipping: Specialized carriers are used for chickens, ensuring compliance with animal welfare regulations. This includes climate-controlled transport and tracking.
Packaging and Handling
Our packaging is tailored to the product type:
- Eggs: Packed in sturdy, insulated cartons with cushioning to prevent breakage. We use temperature-controlled packaging to maintain freshness.
- Chickens: Shipped in secure, ventilated crates designed for animal comfort. Each shipment includes care instructions and is handled by certified professionals.
- Other Items: Supplies and accessories are packaged securely to avoid damage during transit.
All shipments are tracked, and we provide updates via email or SMS.
Delivery Times and Costs
Delivery times vary based on location and shipping method:
- Within the continental US: 3-5 days for standard, 1-2 days for express.
- International: Additional time may be required; please contact us for quotes.
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and depend on weight, distance, and method. Free shipping may be available on orders over $100. For live animals, additional fees apply due to specialized handling.
Special Considerations
Live Chickens: Shipping live animals requires a signature upon delivery. We recommend arranging for someone to be present to receive and care for the chickens immediately. Weather conditions may affect delivery; we monitor forecasts to ensure safe transport.
Perishable Items: Eggs are shipped fresh but should be refrigerated upon arrival. If you notice any issues, contact us right away.
We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers or unforeseen circumstances, but we work closely with partners to minimize issues.
