Shipping Policy
Prestige Boston Terriers – Shipping & Delivery Policy
At Prestige Boston Terriers, we understand that bringing your new puppy home is an exciting moment. We strive to make the shipping and delivery process as safe, stress-free, and transparent as possible for both you and your puppy.
Shipping Options
We offer several options to get your Boston Terrier puppy safely to their new home:
1. Local Pickup (Recommended)
Families are welcome to pick up their puppy directly from our home in [Your City, State].
This allows you to meet the puppy, see our facility, and ask any final questions in person.
Pickup appointments are scheduled at a mutually convenient time.
2. Ground Transportation (Nanny Service)
We work with trusted, professional pet transporters who specialize in safe, climate-controlled ground travel.
Your puppy travels in a clean, comfortable vehicle with regular stops for food, water, and potty breaks.
Transporters are experienced in handling puppies and provide door-to-door service.
3. Air Shipping (Cargo)
For long-distance adoptions, we arrange shipping via major airlines that have dedicated pet cargo programs.
Puppies travel in airline-approved, climate-controlled kennels.
We only ship during mild weather conditions to ensure your puppy’s safety and comfort.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are not included in the adoption fee and are the responsibility of the adopter.
Costs vary based on distance, shipping method, and time of year.
A detailed quote will be provided before any arrangements are made.
Payment for shipping is required in full before the puppy is dispatched.
