Terms
Payment and Guarantee
Payment by e-transfer is preferred within Canada. PayPal and credit card is also available. International orders can be paid via PayPal or PayPal invoice payable by credit card.
In most cases, geckos can be held for up to 1 month with a 25% deposit. Holding for a longer period would require an additional payment. Deposits are non refundable, however the full amount may be applied to any available animal at any time in the future. Deposits are also transferrable to another customer if communicated in writing via text or email.
Live arrival is guaranteed. In the event that an animal arrives seriously ill or DOA, the purchase price minus any export costs and shipping can be applied towards an available replacement of the same or different species. No cash refunds.
