FREIGHT and SHIPMENT of REPTILES
Live reptiles will be packaged by Reedy’s Reptiles and delivered to the Darwin depot of Australian Air Express (AAE) for shipment using AAE ‘Next Flight Service’ to the AAE depot nominated by the customer.
Prior to shipment the date, time, flight number and consignment note details for each shipment, together with the scheduled arrival time at the customer nominated AAE depot, will be provided to the customer by email or telephone.
The cost of freight is to be paid by the customer and will be itemised separately on the Reedy’s Reptiles invoice.

COLLECTION OF FREIGHT at NOMINATED DESTINATION
It is the responsibility of the customer to arrange for collection of the consigned reptiles at the AAE depot which they nominated. As the consignment will be addressed to the customer as holder of the wildlife import permit it is recommended that the permit holder collects the item(s) personally from the AAE depot at the customer's nominated destination.
Customers should examine the reptiles as soon as possible after collection from the AAE depot and notify Reedy’s Reptiles, of their condition.

WEB SITE INFORMATION and ADVERTISING
Every effort is taken to ensure that information provided on Reedy’s Reptiles website and in advertising is factual and up to date however, interpretation and acceptance of information provided on the website is the responsibility of the customer and others who use information from the site.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Should the customer not be satisfied with the reptiles provided Reedy’s Reptiles must be notified in writing within 48 hours of them being collected from the AAE depot.
Stock will not be replaced, nor will a refund or any form of reimbursement be given for ‘change of mind’ or if the animal is in good health and condition.
In the unlikely event that the reptile(s) die in transit or within 48 hours of arrival Reedy’s Reptiles must be advised by telephone immediately.
Deceased reptiles under these circumstances should be photographed draped mid-body over a horizontal stick with the ventral surfaces of the reptile uppermost. The reptile should be stored in a freezer and must not be disposed of until such action is agreed to by Reedy’s Reptiles.
Failure to comply with these directions will negate any claim for reimbursement by the customer.
Reedy's Reptiles offers a quarantee on the sex of the snake, this applies to snakes that are probed and if the sex is stated during the sale process. Certain reptiles, such as neonate Death Adders are sexed by visual assessment, and while we do our very best, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this.
Should the reptile not feed on the food recommended by Reedy’s Reptiles notification must be provided to Reedy’s Reptiles within 21 days of the customer receiving it for any claim to be valid.

Reedy’s Reptiles holds the right to cancel any order prior to shipment. Reedy’s Reptiles shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a cancellation.
