                    Sales Agreement

1. A 50% of the purchase price, non-refundable deposit is required to hold any animal for up to 14 days. If the animal has not been picked up after 14 days, the deposit is considered forfeit and the animal will be placed back up for sale. No animal is held verbally or otherwise without receipt of a deposit.

2. Shipping is available for all animals at the buyer's expense and weather permitting. The cost of shipping is $600-$1200 for 1-4 chinchillas (the ultimate cost depends on the airline used). Shipping is an additional cost that is not included in the animal's price. Shipping can be done through Alaska Airlines or Delta. Please check your nearest airport to find your closest Alaska or Delta Cargo Bay. No shipping will be done during the summer months for the safety of the chinchillas. We currently only offer shipping within the United States.

3. Animal transporters are typically available for a lower cost than shipping. To protect your animal from harmful diseases, only certain USDA certified pet transporters will be recommended and used. Currently, we recommend https://www.americanpettransport.com/ or Hippity Hop Express and you must purchase a carrier that the chinchilla will travel in and remain in for the duration of travel. Carrier purchase is non-negotiable as it ensures no possible contamination or disease transfer for your animal.

4. All animals are sold as healthy and sociable, however, we provide a 11day health guarantee. In the unlikely event of an ailment, illness or death, the animal must be seen by a licensed veterinarian. The veterinarian must submit a report to BFF Chinchillas specifying the possible underlying cause of the ailment, illness or death with a timeline of symptom onset. If the animal is found to have a pre-existing condition due to breeding, we will replace the animal with one of equal or lesser value. No refunds will be given and no veterinary costs will be covered by BFF Chinchillas. Any deviation from our Care Guide given with each chinchilla at the time of purchase voids our health guarantee.

If you are interested in a specific chinchilla, that one chinchilla can be placed on hold with a 50% deposit and pickup arranged. If you are interested in meeting more of the available chinchillas before deciding on who to bring home, please read through our procedures outlined below. For all pickups or appointments, I send directions the day before your pickup appointment. For estimating driving distance, please use the following address: 19393 Tjerne Pl SE, Monroe, WA 98272

Appointments can be made to pick out a chinchilla from the available chinchillas. If you do not arrive with a proper, appropriate carrier for taking your chinchilla home, you will be charged a $15 carrier fee and provided with a safe wire transport cage (these cages do not have handles or bottoms for catching droppings, they are merely provided for safe and effective transport). An appropriate carrier should always be HARD sided. No canvas carriers will be accepted as these hold in heat and can cause a chinchilla to overheat on a short trip to a new home. No large cages will be accepted as carriers. Please see our page "What to Buy" for links to appropriate carriers. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to make an appointment to pick out a chinchilla. The $100 will go towards the final price of the chinchilla and is not an additional fee, but if you miss your pickup appointment or decide not to purchase a chinchilla, your $100 deposit is forfeit. If you would like to purchase a carrier (in advance), one can be provided with a carrying handle and bottom pan for catching droppings and urine, however, you must provide at least 48 hours notice ahead of your appointment as we need time to assemble the carrier fully.

1. Contact us if you are interested in one of our available babies or adults.

2. Please read through our care and information pages on this website before proceeding!

3. Send a $100 deposit to set up an appointment. Deposits are accepted through Cash App, Google Pay, or Zelle (Paypal and Venmo are NOT accepted)
4. Set up an appointment for viewing and please specify which chinchillas you are interested in meeting (price, age, gender, color)
5. Directions and exact address are provided the day before your appointment. for estimating distance for planning your drive, please use the following address: 19393 Tjerne Pl SE, Monroe, WA 98272
6. Arrive within 15 minutes of your appointment time. This gives a 30 minute window for arrival (15 minutes before and after your specified time slot). Arrival times outside of the 15 minute window can result in your appointment being rejected and your deposit being forfeit.
7. Choose your new chinchilla! Remainder (-$100) can be paid with Cash App, Google Pay, Zelle, or just regular cash.
8. You can take your new chinchilla home in an approved carrier. If your carrier is not approved or you do not have one, a $15 charge will be applied for a wire travel cage.

6. Meet at your appointed time with an appropriate carrier (carriers must be hard sided and well ventilated. Soft sided, fabric carriers, creature keepers, cardboard boxes, leashes, and anything that is not a hard sided well ventilated carrier voids our health guarantee at time of purchase) and pay remainder due through original payment method used for deposit OR you may pay in exact cash (change will not be provided).
