Heritage Animal Health continues to try and get packages out within 2 to 3 days of orders. However due to unprecedented industry growth and shipping disruptions there continues to be a strain on the supply chain. Disruption and back orders from many vendors/manufacturers can be 2 weeks or more. During this time, some orders may be delayed. This may include some vaccine orders.
Drop Ship orders from our vendors may require additional transit time.
Some manufacturers and vendors are still having delays and that results in back orders.
We try to contact customers on these delays by email, please be sure to watch your junk/spam email folders in case emails from us go there.
