Our products are shipped via Canada Post or Fedex. If we receive your order before 2 pm., we will attempt to ship it the same day (excluding weekends).
We guarantee a live arrival of livestock with 1 day shipping only. Fish, shrimps and snails are shipped in a styrefoam with a heatpack, the cost of the styrefoam box and the heatpack is already included in the shipping cost. We do not ship livestock on Thursdays and Fridays. If the shipment gets delayed by the courier the guarantee of the live arrival is waived. In case of dead on arrival (DOA) of orders delivered on time please send as a photo of the deceased fish. We will send you a refund for the DOAs.
From October to April, plants have to be shipped overnight or we can not guarantee that they won't get damaged by frost during transport.
Unfortunately, we do not ship stands and aquariums larger than 20 gallons. They can be picked up at our warehouse in Guelph.
