***Please
note that we only use airlines that have climate controlled facilities and
climate controlled cargo planes. Shipping cargo is now safer than it used to be
years ago due to USDA regulations. If you have any doubts about shipping, please
call the airline of choice and find out their specific shipping procedures. ***
SHIPPING AND
DELIVERY INFORMATION.
Please
let us know upon reservation which kind of arrangements you will need. For
detailed information about these services and / or to make arrangements please
contact us at 1-704-464-6178. We will be more than happy to
walk you threw any questions or concerns you may have.
Shipping by
air:
We
pre-book the puppy’s flight in advance so you will know when and where to pick
up your puppy at the airport. We will provide you with detailed information via
email and you will need to read and print off the directions for your records
and return the email signed and dated so we will know that you have read and
received the directions.
Basic
Priority Shipping
is $350 for most any USA destination and everything else needed for the shipping
is included in this fee. Canada, Alaska and kennel size may cause the shipping
fee to vary slightly. The shipping fee covers the appropriate size airline
approved crate (standard size is a 100 series and this is what our shipping fee
is based upon), health certificate, travel bowls, absorbent bedding, extra
nourishment, transportation fees to and from the veterinarian and airport are
included. All puppies are fed, watered and allowed to play / potty before going
into their crate. We make sure that the puppy fits perfectly into his/her new
crate and can stand up, turn around and lay comfortably before he/she leaves on
the flight. All flights are pressurized air crafts. This will help keep your new
puppy from getting sick while traveling. All flights are pre-booked for the
shortest flight time possible. All flights will be monitored closely during
extremely hot or cold weather. We work very closely with the airline to insure
that the puppy is not being placed in any type of danger due to the weather. The
BREEDER is no longer responsible for the health / well-being of the puppy once
he/she is released into the airlines possession.
We
use Delta Pets First, Northwestern and sometimes Continental Airlines.
Shipping's are only done by prepaid method. WE ONLY
ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS, CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECKS OR
DIRECT
DEPOSITS FOR SHIPPING (these are traceable methods of payment and this is why
we require one of these three methods).
USDA regulations
require animals be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can be
shipped via air.
"Carry
On"
is also a great method of shipping. If you so choose to use this method, then it
will be you "the new owner" to pre-book the flight for you and your puppy.
Please make sure that you coordinate your personal flight arrangements to fly
into the closest major airport to us which will be...Charlotte Douglas
International and please be sure to allow enough time to meet with us to pick up
your puppy, do all the necessary paperwork and get back into the airport.
Please
note that if you decide to use this method, then you will need to purchase your
own airline approved crate (usually a 100 series is needed) or let us know if we
need to pick one up for you. The price of the health certificate and crate will
then be added to the balance due of the puppy.
Requirements
are as follows:
Your pet must
be small enough to fit comfortably in a kennel under the seat directly in front
of you. Maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight. You
must contact your airline
of choice to determine the appropriate kennel
size. Your pet must remain inside the kennel (with door secured)
while in the boarding area (during boarding and deplaning), an airport lounge,
and while on board the aircraft. Your pet must be at least 8 weeks of age to
fly. You may not carry on more than one pet. Your pet in-cabin counts as one
piece of carry-on baggage.
Pets are
accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
