Shipping Costs

Did you leave due to the cost of shipping?

Tips to help make the most out of your shipping buck:

  • Increasing the size of your order will only slightly increase your shipping costs. Better to buy more to get more for your shipping buck (or doe).
  • Having your order shipped via FedEx Ground to a BUSINESS address will reduce shipping costs.
  • Heavy or large items may make shipping costs very pricey to Eastern zones and Canada.
If it’s still over your budget, we have many other unique products that your bunny will love – like wonderful treats and toys – that may be lighter weight and cheaper to ship.

    Why don’t we offer free or flat rate shipping?

    We are a small, independent business. The cost you receive is the cost that is charged to us.  Big companies have made free or discounted shipping the norm, folding their cost into the product price, and that’s challenging for us small guys. Our shipping costs are NOT folded into the product costs. 

    Big companies also receive deep discounts not only from carriers, but also from their product distributors. So their product costs are lower allowing them to build in the shipping and keep the price competitive. They also are large enough to have warehouses throughout the U.S. and Int'l which means their costs to ship from a location nearest you is cheaper. 

    As we grow (and we are!) we pass on our discounts to you. So while you may pay for shipping with us, you can choose from a large variety of unique premium products, many of which you can’t get at the big stores.

    Our products are created for bunnies by bunny lovers who care about the health and safety of your bunny. We are proud to have amazing products that bunnies love!

    Our Technology

    Our system calculates a box size based on the size of the products and gets the rate from our shippers in real-time based on the total weight of the box and products OR the box size (dimensional weight) which ever is the greater weight.

    If you orders 4 products, it is smart enough to figure out which box they will fit into.
    If you're a nerd this order example might be interesting to you. This is an example of what we see for each order so that we calculate the shipping correctly and give you the best price on shipping.
