# Approved Animals At Palmstreet, the health and wellbeing of animals is our highest priority. We have strict policies in place to ensure that only healthy, well-cared-for animals are listed for sale. Animals exhibiting deformities, signs of illness, or infestations such as mites are not permitted to be sold on our platform under any circumstances. \ If a buyer receives an animal that is later discovered to have mites or any undisclosed health condition, they are entitled to either a full refund or a return at the seller’s expense. This policy helps protect both the animals and the integrity of our marketplace, ensuring a safe and ethical environment for enthusiasts and breeders alike. \ Our community thrives when animal welfare is placed first — and we stand firmly behind that commitment.

We encourage shipping next-day to FedEx and UPS hubs, or to local FedEx or UPS stores if a hub is not available. Animals must be shipped during optimal weather conditions, avoiding extreme temperatures and harsh weather. Additionally, shipping must be scheduled to minimize transit time and avoid weekends or holidays to prevent delays. If extreme weather is forecast, shipments should be delayed and the buyer should be informed. ### Watch our tutorial: Best Practices for Reptile Sellers {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
