Custom and personalized orders
Thank you for choosing our shop! Due to the nature of specimen products, such as their unique sourcing and the intricate processes involved (like drying, bleaching, and preserving), we are unable to guarantee immediate shipping. Each specimen requires time for careful preparation to ensure it arrives in the best possible condition. Please rest assured, we are working diligently to get your order to you as quickly as possible, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding!
Custom and personalized orders
Butterfly and moth specimens are incredibly delicate and require careful handling. When removing or displaying them, avoid touching their wings or antennae, as these parts are highly fragile and can easily be damaged. We recommend handling the specimen with gloves or using soft tools if necessary. A gentle touch goes a long way in preserving the beauty of these intricate creatures!
Custom and personalized orders
Animal specimens, such as rabbits, ducks, and other small creatures, can have sharp parts like claws, beaks, or spines, which are fixed in place but can still be potentially hazardous. Please handle these items with care to avoid injury. Always take extra caution when moving or adjusting these specimens, especially around their sharp features. While beautifully preserved, these parts remain very pointed and can cause scratches or cuts.
