We need a few days to prepare your order, please give us at least four weeks notice. If you need the butterflies urgently (less than four weeks in advance), please call or email us first.  If all butterflies are allocated, we may not be able to accept online orders with less than 4 weeks notice.  Please contact us first.  Please remember when ordering that temperatures need to be above 20 degrees for the release.

Any number of butterflies (the minimum order is 2) can be released from individual envelopes or mass release boxes.  

We deliver Australia wide via Express Post* to most areas. The Australia Post system no longer guarantees overnight delivery – we will be in touch if we think your location is impacted and if we consider a courier is the best option for your order. We will advise what the extra cost will be for the courier service.
