We ship live fish, snails and shrimp on Monday and Tuesday only. This helps to prevent them sitting at the post office over the weekend. The animals well being is our primary concern. If you order other items they will also be held.
Do you guarantee live arrival for Fish?
Yes, while mailing can sometimes be unpredictable we will always stand by our promise to provide the best service possible. In the unfortunate event your fish are dead on arrival we will require clear pictures of the fish within 2 hours of the delivery time in the unopened bag. We will refund the cost of each individual fish that was dead on arrival, this does not include shipping costs. In the unlikely event all fish are dead on arrival we will refund the total cost of the fish minus our shipping costs. We unfortunately we cannot send replacement fish due to the high shipping costs. Please ensure if you order a fish you will be home to receive it. If the temperature is below 68F please add a heat pack to your order. If the temperature is above 82F please add a cold pack to your order. If a heat or cold pack is not ordered the live arrival guarantee is void. Contact us at gciinc@hotmail.com to report any issues.
