If the courier takes more than 24 hours to deliver the livestock parcel – the client takes responsibility for any livestock deaths. The 24 hour Death On Arrival cover starts when the courier picks up the parcel.

** We only ship the day after payment is reflecting in our account.

*** To claim your Alive Arrival Guarantee, you must take a clear photo of the dead livestock in the original bag within 1 hour of getting the parcel from the courier and it must be within 24hours from the time the courier picks up the livestock. We have the right to decline any Alive Arrival Guarantees if we feel that inadequate proof was given.
