We ship all our live fish out Mondays and Tuesdays ONLY with expected delivery to take less than 24rs. Since COVID-19 has impacted all the couriers, deliveries can take up to 48hrs to arrive. If it has been more than 48hrs since you recieved your tracking please complete the lost or late delivery form so our staff can locate your shipment.

 

Its not uncommon for parcels to show no further scans from “picked up” until it has reached the delivery location. 

Due to Covid, drygoods are taking up to 30 days to be delivered to some locations. Unfortunately this is outside of our control. We apreciate your patience if this is your experience.

Live Fish, Frozen Goods and Live Plants delivery is expected in 24hrs (may take an extra day to locations outside main metro areas.)

If you are waiting on a Live Fish, Live plants or Frozen Goods delivery and have recieved your tracking and the tracking does not say “Onboard for delivery” please wait 48hrs before completing the form.

We use specially designed live fish tranportaion bags, these bags can easily keep fish alive for up to 3 weeks depending on other conditions. If your delivery is late there is an excellent chance your fish will still be fine. Please wait until its been 48hrs before completing the form for our staff to lacate your shipment.

All our parcels are given an ATL with a courier, If the courier believes that it is safe to leave the parcel they will. For live fish orders please note leaving parcels ATL any longer than 2 hours will void any DOA claims. Live fish parcels returned to post offices or depos will also void any DOA claims. It is best to ensure someone is going to be home to recieve your shipment. If your shipment is taken to a post office or depot it is best to collect them as soon as possible.

If your order shows as ‘processing’ it is awaiting our next available shippig day. If it shows ‘completed’ it has been sent and is on its way.

All live fish, live plants and frozen goods are sent Mondays and Tuesdays only and not in weeks that contain public holidays due to possible delays. If your order contains these it will be held until the next shipping day.
