USPS APPROVED NEW Lite ready to go with filters installed, handle and zip ties included, absolutely the best USPS APPROVED live bird shipper on the market. Great for chickens, pheasants, turkeys, ducks, guineafowl, etc.
We package these boxes in cardboard to protect them during shipment. Our main competitors are just taping them together, or maybe wrapping them in Saran Wrap which make them extremely likely to get damaged in shipment.
RTG (Ready to Go) Filters are already glued in place saving you time & mess. Some of our competitors don't mention it in their Ads, but they are selling DIY boxes Do It Yourself. You go buy some glue & put the filters in yourself.
NEW UPDATED STRONGER CARDBOARD!!
Handles & Cable Ties Included
Also stronger bottom design than the Original & 2" longer & .55 lbs. lighter(Weight 1.2 lbs.)
Optional Divider(You choose above)The divider goes across the corners of the box so that in cooler weather you can ship 2 smaller birds in the same box.
Boxes are RTG Ready to Go I used to buy the DIY boxes & glue the filters in, to save a little money. I would make a mess & in my opinion it is not worth the savings. We only stock & sell the RTG boxes.
Our boxes are better designed and approximately 30% more ventilation than our main competitor's boxes. Also if you cable tie, or tape 3 or 4 of these boxes together to save on shipping cost, our middle boxes will have over 50% more ventilation than our competitors middle box. Our boxes are tall with a lot of ventilation in the top. The heat rises and escapes.
Another Advantage of our Horizon 'Light' boxes, they are 2 inches longer & 2 inches narrower than our competitors. Adult birds with long tail feathers need the extra length. You can cable tie or tape 4 boxes side by side and still be under USPS's 108 inch rule. It calculates out to 104 inches(20" + 20" + 16" + 16" + (8" x 4)). Our competitors boxes, because of the bulkier handle system, if you tie 4 of them together the measurement would come out to 114 inches which is over the 108 inch rule.
So in comparison, the Horizon boxes are better designed, less expensive, more ventilation, and you save money shipping your birds.
All of the Horizon boxes are Made in USA down in Crawford, Georgia by a hard working family owned business with several employees.
Useful for: Chickens, Ducks, Pheasants, Chukars, Bantams, Passeriformes, Pigeons, etc.
