Most orders placed with My Pet Chicken will leave our warehouse within 1 business day of your purchase date.
Orders placed Saturday and Sunday will be shipped the following business day. If you're
in a rush and need your order to ship immediately, just call 888-460-1529! We love making our customers
happy - there's a good chance we'll be able to help you out.
Note: This policy does NOT include items such as chicken coops, baby chicks or any other items on our website that have
provisos indicating shipping will take longer than normal.
If you are would like to take delivery at a P.O. Box, we will mail your package via an equivalent option
from the U.S. Postal Service, or if that's not possible we will call or email you to come up with an
alternate solution.
When you're purchasing live baby chicks, our website will force you to chose the "Express Mail"
option when you check out: the fastest, most effective and most humane method possible! Choosing 2nd
Day or Next Business Day shipping will NOT get your chicks, eggs or started pullets to you faster and will NOT
get your chicks any better treatment or handling. We always take the best possible care of our animals; you
don't have to pay extra for it!
If you're purchasing non-live items in addition to your chicks or hatching eggs, the shipping options available
to you will be "Express Mail + Ground", "Express Mail + 3rd Day", etc. Express always applies to the live items; Ground,
3rd day etc. applies to the non=live items.
Ground shipping takes up to 10 business days and is our most economical shipping option. Depending on
the ship-to address and the product being shipped, Ground may include any of the following services:
UPS Ground, Fed Ex Ground, USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post or First Class Mail. Regardless of
the shipping service used, we guarantee delivery within 10 business days.
Third Day is a great option if you're not sure whether Ground will deliver your package on time. Keep
in mind that third day takes 1 day to process your order and 3 business days to ship, so if you place
your order on Monday for Third Day, it is guaranteed to arrive on Friday (though it may come sooner).
Likewise, if you place your order on Saturday, it is guaranteed to arrive on Thursday (ship Monday +
3 business days in transit).
Need your package even faster? Second Day is a great choice. Remember, it still takes one business day
for orders to leave our warehouse. Once they "fly the coop", so to speak, they'll arrive to your door within
2 business days.
Need it yesterday? Next Day service is for you! We'll ship your item within 24 hours, and it will arrive
within 1 business day of the time we ship it.
