Winter Shipping Policy:
If you need a heat pack you can purchase one in our store and we will add it to your shipment. We include a free heat packs if you ship using priority express however you must notify us as we are unable to determine your local area weather and temperatures.
How to tell if your livestock is DOA (Dead on Arrival):
If the item is melted and there's nothing but brown slime/sludge then your item is DOA. If you bought a coral with polyp(s) and the extensions are not open after opening your package or in your tank then this is not consider at DOA as the polyp requires stimulation to open (lighting, water flow, proper water params). However if you received a polyp that is melted then this is considered DOA and you should reach out to us and provide clear pictures within 2 hours of the delivery time. DOA pictures MUST be clear in the way you received the package and must be in original double bag sealed packaging to determine the livestock was not contaminated or altered in any way.
DOA Policy:
Please be mindful we only offer DOA with first class for surrounding states and offer DOA coverage for all orders using priority or priority express shipping method as first class is the slowest shipping method and does not have a guarantee delivery date, has lower priority to shipment through sorting centers, and susceptible to delays due to pandemics and holidays. If your order is covered and arrives DOA please send us a message along with clear pictures of the DOA livestock within 2hrs of the shown tracking delivery time. DOA pictures MUST be clear in the way you received the package and must be in original double bag sealed packaging to determine the livestock was not contaminated or altered in any way. Do not put the livestock in your tank doing so will void the warranty as we only guarantee survival of the livestock during transport and have no control over your tank parameters or guarantee the survival of the macro/livestock in your tank. Neglecting and refusing to do so will void any guarantee.
