Policy
If there are any DOAs (dead on arrival), please take a picture of the unopened bag within 2 hours of the delivery. We will replace your shipment of the dead shrimp, plants, snails and/or fish if it exceeds the free DOAs that are added to cover possible DOAs.
You must cover cost of shipping when replacements are being sent. Replacements itself will be free.
We do not cover shipping delays nor can control shipping. We will do our best to work with you if a delay occurs. Failure to inform us of temperatures below 30degrees F in your area or not selecting shipping with a added heat pack with temperatures below 30 degrees F will result in voiding our DOA Policy. DOAs exceeding the extra shrimp added for DOAs will not be refunded when this is due to not being informed of temperatures below 30degrees F or not selecting shipping with the added heat pack.
We add a plus 2 free shrimp to cover any possible DOA’s for our Neo shrimp. A plus 1 free shrimp is added to cover any possible DOAs for our caridnia shrimp. For mystery snails an extra 1 snail will be added in orders to cover possible DOAs.
