​​
If you decide to ship your axolotl/s UPS (2-day delivery), or UPSP Priority (one to three-day delivery) then you will be forfeiting the live arrival guarantee.
​
There is a 25% cancellation fee for an order after it has been placed.
​
No Refunds after the animal has shipped unless overnight was selected and the animal was DOA.
​​
The shipping address on PayPal MUST MATCH the delivery address.​
​
​Axolotl and Reptile Shipping are Monday through Wednesday, however, we need at least 2 days' notice to send an axolotl, because they need to have fasted. (So they do not excrete waste into the bag).
Axolotls are legal in most places in the U.S. except for California, Maine, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and Arkansas. In New Mexico, they are legal to own, but illegal to import from other states. West Florida Axolotls will not ship to you if you are in one of these states and do not have a valid permit.
