Shipment
Sending live animals is a difficult process and I will do everything I can to make sure it is successful. Shrimps are sent packed in aquatic bags inside a protective polystyrene box.
Please read the following information carefully. If you do not agree with these terms then please do not purchase.
All live shrimp orders will be sent by Royal Mail Special ******y.
Shrimp are sent on Monday to Friday only.
Orders received before 12pm (noon) will be sent on the same day and should arrive the next day.
Orders received after 12pm (noon) will be sent on the following day and should arrive the day after that.
Orders received on a Friday after 12pm (noon) will be sent on the following Monday (and should arrive on Tuesday).
Someone must be in to sign for the package. No refunds will be given if no one was available to receive the package. You can contact me before purchase to arrange to receive the shrimp on a day when someone can sign for the package.
We only send to the UK and unfortunately we cannot send to Northern Ireland due to the additional certification required.
Acclimatisation
When your shrimp arrive they will need to be acclimatised to the water in your aquarium. This is best done by drip acclimatisation over several hours. Please make sure you have what you need to do this, such as a length of airline tubing and a suitable container.
Any dead shrimp on arrival / Refunds
Despite all efforts, occasionally a shrimp may die during transit. You must send a photo of any dead shrimp on the day they are received or no refund will be given. The photo must show the dead shrimp in the unopened transit bag. I cannot be responsible for any deaths of shrimp once they have been put into your aquarium.
Any shrimp that are confirmed dead on arrival will be refunded pro-rata.
We do not accept returns of any shrimp.
If you have any questions, please ask.
