Our shipping methods explained
At Blue Cedar Smallholding, we understand the importance of safe and swift delivery for your hatching eggs. We exclusively use Royal Mail (Tracked 24) to ensure a reliable and traceable service. This premium shipping option is chosen to provide you with peace of mind and the quickest possible delivery. While we don't offer different speed or cost options for this specialised product, our chosen method prioritises the welfare of the eggs.
Ensuring safe arrival for your eggs
The safety of your hatching eggs is our top priority. Each egg is carefully packed in robust polystyrene packaging designed to protect them from impact and temperature fluctuations during transit. Our meticulous packing process, combined with the secure nature of polystyrene, ensures your eggs arrive in optimal condition, ready for incubation.
Delivery timeline for your order
We aim to dispatch your hatching eggs promptly. Once dispatched, we anticipate your order will reach you within 24 hours, barring any unforeseen delays with the postal service. We monitor our dispatches closely to ensure the quickest possible delivery times from our smallholding in Sevenoaks, United Kingdom, directly to your location.
What to do if there are issues with your order
We take every precaution to ensure your eggs arrive in perfect condition. However, if your eggs arrive damaged, please contact us immediately with clear photos of the damaged eggs. For issues regarding fertility or eggs not hatching, we conduct test hatches to confirm fertility before posting. While we ensure initial fertility, we cannot be held responsible for unsuccessful hatches once the eggs have been posted, as factors such as handling during transit, environmental conditions, and incubation techniques can significantly affect the outcome. We appreciate your understanding in these matters.
