Palmstreet Official
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.
Buyer Responsibilities
It is essential that buyers pick up their live animal orders from the shipping hub on the day they arrive to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the animals. Live animals are sensitive to stress, temperature changes, and extended confinement, and leaving them at the hub beyond arrival day increases the risk of dehydration, injury, and even mortality. Prompt pickup minimizes the duration of transport-related stress, allows the animals to quickly access proper care, food, and water, and ensures compliance with animal welfare standards. Additionally, it helps protect the buyer’s investment and upholds trust in Palmstreet, as timely collection demonstrates responsibility and care for the well-being of the animals. Failure to pick up the animal on the day of arrival may result in the shipment being returned to the seller with no refund issued.

We care deeply about the proper care of living creatures, and require our sellers to ship live animals using next-day services to minimize stress on the animals. 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.
