shipping to canada?

cs Dec 24, 2003 07:44 PM

I've been looking around at different breeders on the internet, and i've noticed that no one mentions anything about where they will ship and where they won't. Is it common knowledge that no US breeders will ship out of the country, or am I missing something? Does anyone know of any breeders who will ship to Canada?

Have you ruled out the Canadian breeders? There are some outstanding geckos up there in Canada. Check out The Urban Gecko and High Quality Reptiles to see what I mean, if you haven't already seen them. I can't remember the site, but I believe Ron Tremper even has a distributor up there.

I don't think many US breeders would go through the hassle of sending across the border, unless they're close enough to drive and do everything in person. Some of them do, but it'll likely cost quite a bit more than finding someone local to you.

Good luck and Happy Holidays

At least the smaller breeders. I looked into it as I had a potential buyer in Canada but it turns out there's all kinds of permits, forms and red tape involved with importing wildlife and huge fines if you do anything wrong...not worth it. I think generally I would assume US breeders do not ship to Canada unless they say otherwise, though there's no harm in asking, especially larger breeders who may do enough volume to make all the paperwork worthwhile.
