• LIVE ARRIVAL POLICY: Live arrival is guaranteed ONLY with use of next day service (or two day service if next day service is not available) via FedEx Express or airline live animal cargo (West Jet, Air Canada). If the purchaser insists on the use of a shipping method other than next day, or a service that we cannot personally guarantee to be delivered within two days, then there is no live arrival guarantee. Someone must be present at the delivery address to sign for and accept delivery of the box in order for the live arrival guarantee to apply. During winter shipping months the purchase of an insulated box and heat pack is required for live arrival guarantee. In the event of DOAs (dead on arrival) when live arrival has been guaranteed, the animals will be replaced or refunded (only if no replacements are available), but shipping fees must be paid again and are not refundable, except in cases where we are issued a refund by the shipping company in compensation for a failure of services guaranteed. Proof of the animal's death (either a photograph or the return of the dead specimen) is also required. NO VIDEOS PLEASE.  In the event we are provided with an incomplete or incorrect address and the box is undeliverable, or if the receiver changes the delivery address after the box has been shipped, then the Live Arrival Guarantee is void, no refunds or replacements will be issued, and the purchaser will be responsible for any additional shipping fees for the return of the box to us.

If any health problems are observed within the seven day period, we must be notified immediately when the problem is observed. After that time, no refunds or replacements will be issued, as the life and health of the specimens are then the responsibility of the purchaser. In the event of an animal's death in the 7 day period of guarantee, the animals will be replaced or refunded (only if no replacements are available), but shipping fees must be paid again and are not refundable. Deaths due to accidents, neglect, improper care, or irresponsibility on the part of the new owner are not covered. Deaths that result from animals being housed communally are not covered.

• NO ANIMALS WITH POTENT VENOM WILL BE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. For the purchase of animals with potent venom, we need to be provided proof (at least 1 item, though a second may be requested) that the purchaser is at least 18 years of age. A photo ID (ex: drivers license) that shows date of birth and address should be one. A secondary can be a number of items, such as a credit card or utility bill sent to the purchaser’s address. If proof of age cannot be provided, we will not sell these animals. We reserve the right to not sell these animals if we have any reason to believe that 1.) the items showing proof of age are not legitimate (forged or stolen) 2.) the animals will be under the care of a minor, or 3.) the purchaser will not care for these animals in a responsible, safe manner.
• Customers under the age of 18 may make purchases with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, as long as the animals do not have potent venom.
• Please be aware of any bylaws in your area which may restrict the ownership of certain types of animals. We at Tarantula Canada cannot keep up with bylaws outside of our own city, so it is the purchaser’s responsibility to know the laws in his or her area and to abide by them.
• Privacy- please note that we do not disclose phone numbers, email addresses, home or work addresses, or other private information of our clients.
• Due to an ongoing issue of some clients reserving animals for expos but not picking them up, we now require all expo reservations to be pre-paid in full.
• All sales are final.
