50% OFF FedEx Ship Rates For Livestock!!*
Minimum Livestock Order:  No minimum BUT orders under $50 will be charged a $15 box/processing fee.   Adding on to an existing order will NOT incur a fee if the total of both is $50 or more.  If under $50 the $15 fee will be "in addition to" your order total at checkout.

Livestock Ships FedEx Priority Overnight to Connecting Continental US States Only
I cannot ship to APO or PO Boxes, other US Territories, or other countries. 

*50% off FedEx Base Rates.  FedEx does not apply the discount to fuel, Residential or other surcharges.  FedEx calculates shipping charges based on actual weight or dimensional weight (whichever is greater) & zip code to zip code.  My smallest box has a FedEx DIM weight of 8 lbs.  This box will fit approximately 4 small bags, 2 medium or 1 larger bag.  Again, this is approximate & will be determined by the items needs for safe & healthy shipping.

Livestock Shipping & Delivery Schedule:

I ship Livestock Wednesday & Thursday & Friday each week.  (Friday if Saturday Delivery is requested.)

***Saturday Delivery is available if you request it in the “Additional Information/Ask for Saturday Delivery” section of the checkout form. Saturday deliveries will ship Friday & will incur an additional $15.00 FedEx Saturday Delivery charge.  Add $15.00 to your order total as it is not automatically included in the shopping cart.

Orders ship via FedEx Priority Overnight Service at a 50% Discounted Rate!!!  Orders $50 or more have NO Box or Other Hidden Fees! Priority Overnight Service will get your order to your door quicker & most times by 10:30 am.  It only costs an average of $5 more than Standard Overnight.  This price difference is minor compared to the potential for loss by shipping standard overnight which extends the shipping time. The health of your livestock is my primary concern.

When Your Order Is Received:
I will e-mail you & confirm your order has been received.  I will alert you if any items in your order are no longer available for shipping (which rarely happens).  It is your responsibility to watch your e-mail for communications from me as well as to make sure your e-mail accepts my messages (be sure my messages don’t go direct into your bulk or junk e-mail folders!).

Your shipping information will be e-mailed to you as soon as it is available but no later than the day it ships. 

NOTE:  In the rare event my e-mail messages do not reach you (due to spam filtering, internet interruptions etc.) expect your order to ship as normal based on my ship schedule posted here.

Order Filling:
All orders are filled on a “first order received first ship” basis.  Items ordered cannot & will not be held for any reason.  My policy is if two thirds of your order is in stock, it will be shipped, although my fill rate is usually 100%.  You will only be charged for the items actually sent & your shipping charge will be reduced to reflect actual ship weight.  I do not backorder items.

How Your Order Is Packed:
All animals (fish, corals & inverts) are carefully collected & placed in special duty ship bags sized for their health, not how little water I can get by with.  They are packed to travel comfortably 48 hours or more, although most often will arrive in less than 24 hours of being packed.   My bags are filled with reef system water the animals was collected from & and pure oxygen is added to the fish bags before being closed.  Heat or cold packs are used to maintain a healthy temperature as seasons dictate.

*Live Arrival Guarantee:
Live arrival is guaranteed!  My fish, corals & inverts are the healthiest you can buy.  The fish are inspected & pre-determined healthy & eating before even offering it for sale on-line.  Upon packing your order I inspect each item again and only ship animals that I know are 100% ready to go!

*Note:  I'm not responsible for FedEx Service Failures or damages from shipping.  Though this rarely happens, understand FedEx does not cover livestock damages/losses.

*Credits:  ANY credit I issue for ANY reason MUST be used within 30 days of being issued.

You must be present to sign for your shipment.  Never refuse a shipment! Requests for delivery without a signature voids all guarantees.  If you do not accept a shipment for any reason, I will NOT issue credit and will discontinue doing business with you.  My livestock can easily handle up to 48 hrs. in transport.  In the case of untimely arrivals or shipping damage, make note of any damages with the delivery person before they leave, accept the shipment & contact me no later than 5 hours of receiving your shipment.  If you call, be sure to leave me a detailed message if I can't answer the phone.  Back up all calls with an e-mail.

NOTE:  You MUST acclimate as I describe on your sales slip & tank all items even though they may seem damaged!  Many corals will close tight during shipping.  If you are concerned about the health of any of your animals (corals or fish etc.) you must call or e-mail me immediately.  A clear picture MUST be e-mailed to me within 2 hours of receiving your shipment & allow me to respond before removing the item from your tank!  I am notified when FedEx delivers your box.  Don't wait to contact me!  I may be able to help if notified soon enough!  If you do not follow my instructions here you void any possibility of credit.
