CARE INSTRUCTIONS

BUTTERFLY CARE INSTRUCTIONS 

Your butterflies will ship UPS Next Day Air to arrive the day before to your release date. In most cities delivers arrive before NOON. Your tracking number with your commitment time will be emailed when your butterflies ship. Please be present for your delivery. When your butterflies arrive it is important to change out the ice pack. To keep your butterflies safe and dormant until your release simply remove the top Styrofoam lid and take our ice pack that may be melted out and replace it with a frozen ice pack we ask you to provide. (We send a gel pack that is about 5 x 6 x 1 inch, anything similar is fine). Continue to use the shipping box as a cooler to keep a controlled temperature. The idea is to keep the butterflies naturally dormant until it is time for them to fly! 

DO NOT STORE YOUR BUTTERFLIES IN A REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER 

Store the Styrofoam insulated shipping box in a room temperature environment after replacing your ice pack. Refreeze our ice pack and change it out about every 12 hours. To Warm and Wake your butterflies the day of the release remove the product they are in from the make shift cooler, away from the ice so they have a chance to warm, wake and get ready for flight. Take them out for about a 1/2 HOUR to ONE HOUR before you plan on releasing them. For a successful release the butterflies need to be released during daylight hours and outdoors in temperatures above 65 degrees. They will not fly at night, in the rain, extreme wind or cold temperatures. 

BUTTERFLY GUARANTEE: We cannot guarantee a successful release if you release the butterflies in inclement weather, after sunset or if your release day temperature is below 65 degrees. Due to any unforeseen circumstances, should your butterflies arrive expired, please contact us within 48 hours and return them for credit. We do ship extra butterflies to compensate for any uncommon or potential casualties. It is very rare to have expired butterflies as long as you follow the simple care instructions. Please visit our website QUESTIONS page for more information or call if we can be a service to you. Thank you very much for your butterfly order, enjoy your release.

it truly was impressive to all those in attendance

Just wanted to let you know the Butterfly Release, for my son's 1-year Memorial celebration at the cemetery went beautifully. The release box arrived exactly on time. We followed your instructions and all butterflies survived. It was just beautiful watching all of them fly out of the box. Our 9-year-old Granddaughter, who loves Butterflies, did the release. It was a very fitting memorial for our son. Thank you for providing such a great service, it truly was impressive to all those in attendance. We termed the release as " Butterfly Kisses to Heaven" our Granddaughter wore a shirt with that saying on it. Thank you again.

Everything was so efficient and easy and beautiful

I just wanted to thank you for my recent experience with your company. Everything was so efficient and easy and beautiful from the person I spoke to on the phone with questions, from the way you keep the person up to date right down to the day and time we would receive the butterflies and how to care for them. It was a positively beautiful moment to share with my family to honor my husband who passed and other who we missed and loved ? we did it on Easter with family as young as 3 all the way up to 70 and it brought a smile and a tear to everyone involved. I just didn?t want to let another day go by without sharing that with you. Sincerely, Sherill

We had a 100% fly away.

It was a grand event. With grief on our hearts for Joann's celebration of life service, the release of the butterflies to carry our wishes to the heavens was the perfect way to end our day. We had a 100% fly away. We were predicted storms but at 1130 the sun was shining brightly. Some painted ladies stayed to visit for a short time and some went to the first flower they found. I had such nervousness about this being my first time but it could not have been more perfect. Thank you ! It was like our grief was lifted on the wings and softened a bit. It was a grand event.

I ordered 2 dozen painted ladies for my husband?s Heaven-versary 4/24/22. I?m so impressed with the entire process. From great customer service to prompt delivery. The poem enclosed in order was beautiful, I displayed on table. I was a little anxious & hoped all butterflies were alive and well upon release. I?m happy to report all butterflies took flight. Everyone was amazed and enjoyed the release. I would highly recommend The Butterfly Release Company. Thank you so very much! Margaret

Hello again, Murphy Just wanted to let you know the butterfly release we had on Friday was a big success! All of them were living and most flew away immediately. Some needed a little coaxing but that added to the enjoyment. It was a nice way to say farewell to our loved one. Thank you for all you did to make it happen. Sincerely Diane

butterflies were all very much alive and beautiful

Thank you so very much for staying in contact with us about our butterfly shipment. We had ordered the butterflies for a family funeral. The butterflies were all very much alive and beautiful. They would not leave the children. We placed them on the flowers and they eventually left. It was a very beautiful send off for the family. You were all very kind to provide such great service in a time that was so chaotic and overwhelming. We will definitely spread the word and would order again.

I just can't express how thankful I am

Hey Chad - My mother and I ordered butterflies for a small memorial for the one year anniversary of my sister's passing. I was going crazy figuring out what we could do in order to honor her memory. My parents, siblings, and I have always said that a butterfly is our sign of my sister. I saw your company and knew it was perfect. The day before the memorial we were worried as FedEx came to both of our houses, but no butterflies. I waited until about 3pm and gave your company a call. Without question, the young lady called FedEx and was immediately on top of it. Apparently the butterflies were shipped through TN in order to make it to VA. With the crazy snow storms and other weather in TN, all FedEx packages were backed up. We completely understood this and would have been bummed if we didn't get to do the release. That was not an option for your team. I really wish I remembered her name because she went above and beyond. She had FedEx walk into the distribution center, find both boxes, put them on a plane, and have them overnighted to VA. The next morning (7am), the FedEx distribution center where we live, called and told us we could pick them up. This all happened in a span of 16 hours. Your employee (and FedEx) worked absolute wonders. Again, she went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined in order to make sure we had our butterflies. I have never experienced such exceptional customer service. The release was so heartwarming as each and every butterfly flew away. I have attached the link my best friend put together of the release. Hope you enjoy it! I apologize for being so long winded, I just can't express how thankful I am for you and your employees. You all helped us to take the worst day of our lives and give it a new meaning with a new memory. For that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Collan and Family (Jimmy, Donna, Chris, Carson, and Chad)

We are so thankful for this amazing company

We got 2 dozen butterflies for our son?s one year death anniversary. I was nervous that I might screw up With switching out the ice packs or people may have dead ones when releasing, however there was not 1 casualty! We even had several kids around 5-16 and it was easy for them and they did not smash them. We are so thankful for this amazing company and how simple the directions were on the website and when you got the box. I will forever recommend your business! It was an important part of our day!

Made our Celebration so special

Pros: On time shipping

Cons: Same day delivery for Tuesday events was a little nerve wracking!

I bought 2 dozen painted ladies in individual release envelopes for a Celebration if Life Service. Each person got a butterfly, stated a quality of the person that they hope to embody, and then released their butterfly. They were beautiful. And they hung around us so we could spend time looking at them. It really made our event so special. Thank you.

truly a blessing and unforgettable memory

I wanted to take this time to thank you for your unique service. We ordered butterflies for my father"s funeral. This was a very special touch and we rcvd a number of compliments as many of our guests had never seen this before. The butterflies were an after thought, mainly because I thought we didn't have enough time to order and that it would be affordable. You were not only the most affordable, but could accommodate my need request. I ordered 2 dozen Painted Ladies and the handling instructions were very easy all the butterflies survived! While they are smaller than Monarchs, the sheer number made an amazing display as they carried my father across the cemetery. In fact, one butterfly stayed on my shoulder the entire burial service. It was truly a blessing and unforgettable memory. Thank you! Yvonne, Ca
