WAYS TO GET YOUR FRILLED DRAGON


There are many ways to get your frilly. You can check with a pet store. Pet stores are 3-4 times removed from the breeder, (and as i found out) and may not be able to answer your questions. You can get your frilly from a reptile dealer. Or you can get your frilly from a reliable breeder. I feel this is the best way if you want to know the best information about frilled dragons. They can tell you about the bloodline, how to care for your frilly and what to look for in a frilly. Now when ordering from a breeder there are two way to get your frilly from them. First way is to drive and pick your frilly up right from the breeder. The other way is to have them Air shipped to you.  the following are some helpful tips on having your frilly shipped to you:
  1. Most breeders ask that you pay in advance, either by credit card with, money order, or cashier check.
  1. Not likely, some breeders may accept C.O.D.‘s. C.O.D.’s are more expensive. Most breeders do not offer this as an option.
  1. Give the breeder your full name, address, and phone number where you can be reached.
  1. Let the breeder know what airport you would like to use, or agree on door to door delivery.
  2. Get the shipping date. On that shipping date call the breeder and get the air bill number, avoid weekend shipping most cargo offices are closed.
  3. Most shipping takes 24 hours (Airport to Airport)
  4. If you can, try to keep your frilly on the same airlines. You have to pay extra for each airline you use.
  5. Ship only in good weather.
  6. There are 3 types of shipping option;
  1. Freight~ Basic, most used
  2. Air express~ guaranteed flights
  3. Small package~ fast level of service
The last two you will pay more, so compare Airlines.
  1. Don’t be afraid to call the airport and check the status of your frilly. You will need the air billing number, this will help the airline track your frilly.
  1. Pick up your frilly as soon as it arrives at the airport, especially if the weather is bad. Get the cargo office hours. Make arrangements to pick up your frilly at the ticket counter if the cargo office is closed.
  1. Once Airline verifies that payment has been made, check out your frilly before you leave the airline. Reliable breeders guarantee live delivery.
  2. If something is wrong, you will need to fill out a “Discrepancy” or “Damage” report. Get it signed and dated, before leaving the airlines. Insist on filing the claim form at this time. Get a claim number.
  3. Call the breeder right away.
I hope this information will be helpful in your search. Happy hunting....
