It is your responsibility to email us within 1 week to attempt shipping. Unless shipping is currently closed. In that event, we will contact you to set up a shipping date when weather conditions are optimal.
Read “In’s & Out’s of Shipping” section for more shipping information.
If you wish to back out of your purchase:
Once an animal is sold. That animal in particular, will be removed from all advertising platforms. Will not come to the expos with us to be sold and all photos removed. Photos, listing creation and advertising all takes up extra time and in the event you decide you no longer want that particular animal. We will have to redo all of these things. Not to mention the time/expense to hold/care for an animal that could have otherwise had a forever home elsewhere. We have held animals in the past for 3+ weeks, only to have the customer no longer want the animal. In cases like this, we will certainly hold 25% back to help offset costs mentioned above.
Payment Options:
*Store Credit last two years from issue date
Discounts/Sales: Discounted animals are to be paid for in full. No Payment plans on these animals
IN’S & OUT’S OF SHIPPING
We frequently update our shipping status via www.klwreptiles.com, Facebook and our terms of sale. As the customer it is your responsibility to check the updates prior to purchase and after purchase.
The animals safely is our #1 concern. Do not ask us to break the following guidelines. We will not
Our Shipping Guidelines:
Shipping is a flat rate $65 no matter the number of animals purchased
We utilize reptile specific boxes, heat packs and cryopaks to ensure all animals are packaged responsibly. We will decide if heating/cooling elements are required the day the animal is shipped. Gecko(s) will be shipped within deli-cups to provide a safe shipping situation. Each deli-cup will have air holes in it along with the top taped to ensure no one escapes during shipping.
It is vital that you provide us with the correct address. Please triple check that your address is correct before sending it to us. This can cause many issues and could result in the death of the animal.
If you have your animal(s) held at a hub. Please make sure the FedEx center will hold live animal shipments, not all do. If shipping to a hub, most packages are ready for pickup around 9 AM. If shipping directly to your home most are delivered by 12:30 PM assuming there are no delays.
*If you would like to purchase a ledge or small container of food from our website. Please ask us before purchasing if we can fit it in with your live animal shipment to save you on shipping cost! Some items will fit, some will not. If items are purchased before approval and they do not fit. We may have to charge a flat rate shipping fee of $4.99 to ship the items separately.
Gecko Tails:
Geckos can drop their tails. Due to this, we cannot be held responsible for tails dropped during shipping or while under our care, and no refunds/in house credit will be given for dropped tails.
Sexing:
Pores seen, possible pores seen, no pores seen or possible male, possible female are all observations we have made at the time of photos. This is NOT a guarantee. The only time we will guarantee a sex is if it says Male or Female. If a gecko is unsexed, we have not had a chance to loupe it yet or it is too small. We will not loupe a gecko that says unsexed. All geckos are sold as is. We will not attempt to loupe them again after they are purchased.
Photos:
We do our best to accurately represent each individual gecko. We do not edit our photos, occasionally we will crop them (most of the time we don't even do that). All photos are updated every 2-4 weeks. We typically leave older photos up if we have them. We will sometimes note a misfire/unfired or color correction (our camera will sometimes pick up slightly darker/lighter colors). You are free to request more photos, please include what you would like to see more of when doing so. Photo requests can sometimes take us 24-48 hours to fulfill.
Weights:
All weights are updated every 2-4 weeks and measured in grams. Due to the frequency of our updates, I will not gather a new weight prior to purchase as they are updated often. After purchase: If we are holding an animal for an extended period of time. We can gather a new weight 1-2 times a month at your request.
Live Arrival Guarantee?
KLW Reptiles DOES offer a Live Arrival Guarantee!
You must contact/update me on the state of the gecko within 30 mins of pickup from your FedEx hub. If not, all live arrival gurantees are void.
In the case of a rare DOA, we do not refund. But in house credit will be issued for half the total of the original total. (Example: Your total without shipping $150; $75 would be issued as your in house credit)
