🦎 Six Arrows – Shipping Policy
General Shipping
Six Arrows ships within the United States only.
Orders are processed within 1–5 business days unless otherwise stated. Custom-built items such as enclosures or rack systems may require extended processing times, which will be communicated to the customer.
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout unless otherwise specified.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that all shipping information is accurate at the time of purchase. Six Arrows is not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses provided by the customer.
Live Animal Shipping (FedEx Hub Only)
All live animals are shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight and must be held for pickup at a FedEx Ship Center (hub location).
Home delivery is not offered for live animals.
Customers are responsible for selecting a valid FedEx hub location at checkout and must pick up their animal promptly upon arrival.
