# Why do you not ship glass vivariums?

## Collect with 10 % off, or choose a shippable option

### Too much transit damage

After repeated damage in transit, we had to stop shipping glass vivariums. There is simply no freight route on which glass reliably arrives intact.

### Your alternatives

- **Collect in person:** collection from the shop comes with a **10 % discount**.
- **Repti Cage mesh vivariums:** no problem to ship.
- **Recycled plastic vivariums:** available in various sizes with sliding glass doors, and straightforward and inexpensive to ship.

We do still ship wooden vivariums – they come to you directly from the manufacturer as bulky goods.
