No jar is included--Hobby Lobby has a very extensive selection of glass jars at reasonable pricing. I would suggest you check there for your specimen jar. Make sure you check the measurements of you item to be sure it will fit through the mouth of the jar.

Please note: Due to Usps shipping regulations the specimen will be shipped without alcohol. You can fill your jar (not provided) with 70% rubbing alcohol which can be purchased at any grocery or drug store for approx $2. at a Family Dollar or Dollar General Store.
************** These are not for Human or Animal consumption, product is not alive or edible. Use gloves and mask when handling specimens. ISOPROPYL AND FORMALIN IN THE PRODUCT IS FLAMMABLE! KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME.
This item has been professionally preserved for display. Wear gloves and mask when handling wet specimens.***************
It is illegal to ship it in the alcohol so 70 percent isopropyl alcohol (as per noted in the listing) does need to be added once you receive. The specimen will come double bagged in most cases or vacuum packed. The specimen should be removed from the bag, added to the jar (some are provided and some are not-it will state in the listing if the jar is included) and filled with the 70 percent isopropyl alcohol to the top of the specimen once you receive. Please use gloves any time you are dealing with a wet specimen as they are prepared with Formalin.
If you do not have 70 percent isopropyl alcohol readily available you may refrigerate or freeze the specimen. If freezing, wrap the specimen in double freezer bags with no air in the specimen bag and thaw when you have your alcohol or container available. You may also put the specimen in the refrigerator for a day or two if you have to pick up the 70 percent isopropyl alcohol. ONLY 70 percent should be used.
Properly caring for your collection of jarred specimens is important, not just so they stay in good condition but also so that you don't burn your house down. NEVER store a wet specimen somewhere that is overly warm (a house in the summer with no air conditioning) and always keep them away from direct sunlight. Never ever ever smoke or burn candles nearby and never store your specimens near a heater or fireplace - they are extremely flammable!

All displays will be carefully packed to the best of our ability to insure a safe and damage free arrival.
POSTAL INSURANCE -USPS, Shipcover, etc., all cost are included in shipping fees and/or item pricing and included with your purchase.
If damage occurs in shipping the post office now requires you to bring the package in to a postal center/office for inspection before any insurance payments will be approved and the item has to be in the original shipping box with all packing as you received still in box. Your refund will be processed once the package has been inspected and the receipt from the post office acknowledging the inspection is forwarded to us. This is an ordeal that no one wants to go through, including us, so we do our best to make sure no one has too!
No returns on wet specimens.
Items that ship free and are returned for incorrect address or insufficient address will be charged a restocking fee or shipping fee to cover initial shipping costs and the balance refunded or given the option to purchase shipping for resending the item with corrected address.
If there was an original shipping fee and the item is returned for an incorrect or insufficient address and you would like the item resent, the option will be given to repurchase shipping. There are no refunds on initial shipping for an incorrect or insufficient address.
