Spider shipping will resume after the holiday season for their safety - local pickup (Philadelphia/south New Jersey) still available! 

Spider shipping terms

I do not ship spiders without first coordinating the shipment with you, so please check your spam! 

​

-----------------------------------------------​​

DURING CHECKOUT​ 

  • If you're adopting a spider, during checkout you will be charged $30 as a deposit towards shipping.

    • I will refund if shipping was less than $30; if it exceeds $30 I accept Paypal/Venmo.

    • Checkout will ask for your phone number - this is because FedEx requires one to ship. However, your information is safe with me!

​

SHIPPING OPTIONS​

  • Spiders are shipped on Tuesday or Wednesday using FedEx priority overnight. This is following the advice of reptile shipping services - Mondays are the busiest day, and other days leave your spider open to being stuck over the weekend.

  • Overnight shipping for pickup at FedEx is highly encouraged for the safety of your spider. This helps to ensure that your spider isn't stuck on a truck (that may or may not have air conditioning!) while the driver delivers other packages.

  • If you choose to have your spider delivered to your home, please make sure you are there to receive them! Again, I highly recommend having them held for pickup instead.

  • Not all FedEx locations offer 'hold at location' (HAL) pickup for live animals; I will be in touch to discuss options with you! Fed Ex Office, etc. do not offer HAL.

  • I check weather for both my location and yours, and I do not ship during extreme temperatures for the safety of your spider. 

  • I will also be in touch if the spider for adoption appears to be getting ready to molt so we can coordinate a safe time for it to travel to its new home with you!

 

In the event a spider is dead on arrival, please contact me within two hours of pickup from FedEx, or within an hour of delivery to your address. I will replace your spider only if it was sent overnight to a FedEx hub and picked up within two hours of arrival. Buyer is responsible for replacement shipping. In the event that I do not have a spider that is ready to be sent as a replacement, we can coordinate a future adoption. 

​

Local pickup is available in south New Jersey for those in Philadelphia/New Jersey!
