HOW TO ORDER
Payment MethodsYes, I accept Visa & Master Card, personal or business checks, or money orders. No, I won't take your personal I.O.U. Don't even think about C.O.D.'s, they are out of the question, due to the perishable nature of our products. If you don't have a Visa or Master Card, but need rush shipment, you may even fax me a check, I treat it like cash.

Some of our ads mention a monthly budget plan. This is set up for customers who have those check cards that "suck the money" right out of their accounts, and are struggling to keep their snakes fed, yet want to buy, say six months supply to get an economical order quantity. Because I understand that standard banking arrangements on these accounts are that, "all withdraws must be preceded by deposits," I can arrange to make the charges over two, or three pay periods, if this will help you. I can also do this on a pre-authorized checking account draft. That's my job, customer service, "Filling the peoples needs." Doesn't that sound good. "Filling the peoples needs." I saw that slogan on the side of the port-a-potties, at an art show.
Minimum OrdersThe minimum order quantities are: 50 rats, or 100 mice, or some combination, thereof. There are two reasons for this:

1.) I sell to you at the same price that I sell to pet stores, and that's my way of competing with them, but not competing with them for the customer that buys them onesy, twosies.

2.)The other reason is that the minimum shipping cost is $29.50, for next day air. this will ship one mouse, 100 mice, or up to 200 mice, because I have to pack it in fiberglass blankets, with 5 lbs of dry ice, and ship it Fed/Ex next day air. About $20.00 of that is just to get the plane off the ground, and get the truck in front of your house, because neither of them get very good gas mileage. The rates go up gradually after that, based on weight. Call for exact shipping charges, when you are ready to order.
ShippingAllow 7 to 10 days for placing and order for Mice-cicles or Rat-cicles, because your mice or rats are not dead yet. However, they arrive very fresh. It's best to order before Thursday evening, because I kill and pack on the weekends, and ship on Monday or Tuesdays, so your shipment will arrive before the next weekend.

You don't have to be there when the package arrives, because we sign off on them, no signature required. Just put it in the freezer as soon as you get home. The dry ice will have sublimated (evaporated), by the time it gets there. Just as long as they are cool, not warm and bloody, they will be just fine. With the vacuum packs there is no oxygen, so no oxidation. If someone steals them off of your porch, they'll only do that once.
