WHAT CAN I SHIP WITH HERP SHIPPER?

Herp Shipper members are authorized to transport live, non-venomous reptiles and amphibians, as well as standard, non-hazardous items, to and from both residential and business locations. The shipment of venomous animals, mammals, and birds is strictly prohibited. All live animal shipments must be packaged and prepared in strict compliance with Herp Shipper’s packaging while fully adhering to our Shipping & Packing Guidelines to ensure safety and adherence to ALL regulations.

Members are also required to observe the FedEx U.S. Shipping Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of shipment. These terms explicitly prohibit the transport of certain items, including but not limited to:
• Currency, explosives or explosive-like materials, fireworks, firearms and/or ammunition (unless appropriately licensed), batteries, controlled substances, alcohol, aerosols, dry ice, hazardous waste, and venomous reptiles.

If you remain uncertain about the eligibility of any item for shipment, we encourage you support@herpshipper.com for clarification.

WHAT IF MY PACKAGE IS DELIVERED LATE? WILL HERPSHIPPER REFUND ME?

While delayed deliveries are an infrequent occurrence—affecting only 1-2% of shipments based on our extensive experience—it is essential to acknowledge that no carrier operates with absolute infallibility. On occasion, unforeseen delays may arise. Should one of your shipments experience a delay, please visit our Contact Us page to initiate a refund request, and we will promptly submit a claim on your behalf.

If the carrier classifies the incident as a “service failure” (a delay attributable to their operations), they will issue a refund for the shipping charges. Upon receipt of this refund, we will reimburse you the amount minus a nominal Claims Processing Fee, which is subject to adjustment based on evolving cost considerations.

Claims Processing Fee: $4.95 per package

Please note that refunds will not be granted for delays deemed the result of an “Act of God,” such as inclement weather or other uncontrollable events.
