Delivery costs can vary depending on the size of your order and how far your ducklings must travel in Illinois. Additionally, the USPS has implemented a live animal shipment surcharge, which is reflected in our current delivery fees. If you would like to express your discontent about this charge, please get in touch with your local Illinois senator or representative.
