Shipping/Delivery For Monkeys
There are Two Different Ways to Receive Your monkey.
First option is via Air Cargo.
This option is the most popular.
The Air Cargo option will require your monkey to be picked up at the international airport closest to you. Although the flights can be arranged as multiple stop flights, we do not recommend this way of shipping as it puts too much stress and fatigue on the monkey.
The Air Cargo has a space specially designated just for monkeys and also a place for birds. Therefore, it is safe and comfortable (air conditioned) for your new monkey. For many years, ‘Next Day Primates’ worked with Air Cargo and we have never experienced any accidents. All monkeys or birds were delivered promptly.
When all payments are finalized, the flight will be booked or if the shipping terms are free to the buyer, an agent from the Cargo will contact you via telephone or email to confirm the flight. The agent will also inform you with the time and date of the arrival of your monkey.
Should you decide to have your monkey shipped, we will need the following information from you: 1. Full name, address, and phone number of the person picking the monkey up at the airport. 2. Two closest airports to you. We ask for two because sometimes we cannot get into your first choice airport. We always like to have back-up airports ready just in case we need to use them.
The final step is to simply pick up your monkey from the closest assigned airport.
A customer will receive the monkey within 2-3 days from the date the payment is finalized.
Second option is personal delivery.
An experienced pet expert will fly with the monkey Or You can either pick your monkey up by yourself!!
This service can be booked for the monkey to be delivered to any location. We will personally deliver the monkey to your door at your request. This option will require extra charges depending on the destination and it may take a few more hours to a day to receive your monkey.
– Once the payment is made, the monkey will need to get a thorough final vet check to make sure the monkey is safe to fly.

Safe and Comfortable Shipping process
Parrots aren’t vases or art supplies, so when you hear that he or she can be shipped to you, your first reaction is probably shock. Before you panic, get that picture of cardboard boxes and foam peanuts out of your mind! Shipping parrots is usually quite safe and any airlines or trucking companies that take live animals have procedures in place to be sure they arrive in good health.
Airlines will either ship parrots in the cargo compartment which sounds a bit callous and scary, but is actually fairly safe and comfortable for the parrot, especially if there is no need for a layover or cargo transfer or the pet to be stowed under the passenger’s seat in lieu of carry on luggage. This is probably the safest mode of air travel, but may be more expensive and what we mostly use since we pay an additional fee for the pet. We do ship by Land using a trucking company that specializes in transporting pets is another option.
We always give all our parrots a Bordetella vaccine prior to shipping to avoid the chances of other animals or pets infecting them.
