Q1
I am a newbie and need some advice on which stick insects to get and the equipment I need. Help!
See the menu above and click on the "Living stick insects ready now" webpage which tells you about the different species of stick insect, to help you decide which would be best for you. The "Stick insect cages and enclosures" webpage lists the best enclosures. More advice is on the "Knowledge base" webpage. And free friendly phone advice is available by calling 01733 913480 between 9am and 6pm weekdays.


Q2
Will the stick insects be OK in transit?
Live arrival is guaranteed. Stick insects are delivered using an express 24 hour delivery service nationwide within mainland UK. They are expertly packaged and we let you know what day and approximate time they will arrive.


Q3
What happens if I'm not in?
We always request your "safe place" so that the delivery driver can leave the parcel there if you have nipped out.


Q4
Do you deliver on a Saturday or a Sunday?
No. Deliveries are weekdays only.


Q5
Do you ship to Europe?
Unfortunately we no longer ship to Europe or Northern Ireland. We can deliver to addresses in England, Wales and Scotland.


Q6
How do I pay?
At the end of each webpage of products, the payment options are explained: these are PayPal, Bank Transfer, credit, debit and American Express cards. Card payments can be made over the phone, by phoning 01733 913480.


Q7
Can I get the items delivered to a different address to my own?
Yes, no problem, providing the delivery address is in England, Wales or Scotland.


Q8
Do you accept Purchase Orders?
Yes, we can accept Purchase Orders and then generate a "pro-forma invoice" using your Purchase Order number. We require payment with order.


Q9
Do you offer any free after care advice?
Yes, of course, just email emma@small-life.co.uk or phone 01733 913480 if you have any concerns. A free stick insect care leaflet is automatically included with all livestock purchases.


Q10
Do you allow callers?
Sorry, we do not have a trade counter and so collection is not possible. However, if you are local, we may be able to arrange delivery to you using our own vehicles.

Items are in stock and dispatch is fast, usually within a few days. We let you know in advance what day delivery will be. On the day of arrival you can see what time delivery will be (within a two hour delivery window) by following the online tracking link.
