BugInABox.com knows how you hate to wait. We can usually process your order quickly and if you select overnight or 2 day air as your method of shipping, you can have your butterfly within 7-10 days in most cases. You can buy butterflies at a few other places, but you'll have to wait up to 6 weeks to get your order. At BugInABox.com, we carry more items than anyone else in stock which means you get your butterflies faster. If we are out of stock, it might take an extra 7-14 days for processing, since we have to go to Papua New Guinea for your butterfly. All items are packaged carefully but they are delicate so we guarantee your total satisfaction. If for any reason you are unhappy with how your purchase arrives or how it looks, just return it for a refund (less shipping) or exchange it for any item. BugInABox.com searches the world for the finest in rare butterflies, beetles, and interesting insects, so you can enjoy them up close and personal. Copyright2004
