|
The Prices
The Prices are payable in U.S. Dollars and are always listed for ONE item, which is usually one
fish, but it might be one shrimp, one crab, one aquatic plant, or one fish bowl depending on the
type of item. |
|
|
The
Sizes
are listed in inches and refer to total length of that
item and includes the tail, if the item has a
tail. Each size is the size of the item for sale.
The pictures often show items of a different
size than the items offered for sale. Eventually
an item may grow to be bigger, even much bigger.
|
|
|
Learn about the Fish, before You Buy !! Near almost every item, that is listed for sale, there is a link, which includes more information
about that item and often includes the maximum size. We strongly recommend that you carefully read
about each item, before you buy it!
|
|
|
No Minimum Size Order
There is no minimum order size. Order as many items or as few as you want.
|
|
|
Where Do We Ship?
We ship to most addresses in the contiguous
48-states and to some addresses in Hawaii and
Alaska, but we cannot ship outside the United
States. So we cannot ship to Canada or Puerto
Rico. We apologize for any disappointment this
causes. |
|
|
The Pictures
on this web site show items that have
usually been sold. So we can't ship you the exact same item
that you see in a picture, and the item that we ship may not look like the item in the picture,
but we can usually ship you an item that is nearly the same.

problems with PayPal, so
it's better to call them directly.

We Ship
...
all orders that contain live items by "Overnight
Express Delivery".
The fish leave here in the late afternoon and usually
arrive before noon the next day. Most of our
online competitors charge their
customers more for "Next Day
Shipping", and the fish they ship arrive several
hours later in the afternoon. We love our fish
and want to minimize the stress to them during
shipping. Click

how we ship orders.

The first column in blue on
the left shows the days that we receive your
order. Read across to the middle column in yellow
to find the day
we will ship your order, and the pink column on
the right shows the day you will usually receive
your order.
So for example, if you order on
Thursday after noon, you will usually receive
your order 6-days later on Wednesday, but if you
order on Thursday before noon, you'll get your
order the next day on Friday! Hooray!
;^ }
All
of this is organized to maximize the safety to
the fish.
The "Usual Delivery Day"
is the day after your order is shipped. We
always ship in the late afternoon and
the delivery to you is usually the next day
before noon, which minimizes the time.
By the way
you can
request a
different
delivery day
that you
prefer, but
the
requested
day must be
after the
Usual
Delivery
Day, shown
above.
Notice the word "usually" in the yellow and pink columns. Once in a blue moon due to circumstances beyond our control we may not be able to ship on the
day listed above in the yellow column. If so, we'll notify you, apologize for the delay, and make other arrangements for your shipment.
|
|
|
Saturday
Delivery
Note: We can also ship on
Friday for delivery on Saturday with an
additional charge of
$15.00. To ship on a
Friday, we must receive your order before noon,
our time, on Thursday, as shown in the table
above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notification
We will always notify you by email, before we ship your package. Our notification will include the
name of the delivery company and the approximate time of delivery
to your address. From the day we receive your order,
you will usually receive your package within three to five of our working days, which are Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays.
|
|
|
your Email Address
Be sure
we have your current email address.
Sometimes we get orders with old
invalid email address, which means
our notification email is return to
us and not delivered. |
|
|
your Street Address
The companies that we use to deliver packages will not
accept a package from us that is addressed to a Post Office Box, so you must enter a Street Address
on your order. |
|
|
Your Telephone Number
The delivery companies also will not accept a package without
your phone number to call in case they have trouble finding your street address.
|
|
|
IMPORTANT
Be sure your order is to a STREET
ADDRESS and not a P.O. Box number.
The delivery companies want a PHONE
NUMBER, where they can call you at the
time of delivery, in
case they have trouble
finding your address.
|
|
|
Please be Meticulous !!
Include everything listed above in your order, but if something is missing, we will contact you
and help you complete your order.
We are very well organized,
very friendly, and we have successfully shipped many thousands of packages of fish.
