Shipping policy for AFS:
We will do our best to ship every order complete, but these are live species and if a fish is not ready, for whatever reason, we will not ship it. Therefore:
- If we can complete 80% or more of the order we will ship it and refund the missing portion of the order.
- If the order is less than 80% (60% for saltwater), we will ask the hobbyist if they prefer to ship the incomplete order or hold until the following week when we can provide a better fill rate. If the hobbyist still wants the shipment we will ship and refund for any missing fish.
Note: We do not "back order" fish or send out replacements.
AquariumFishSale.com is a collective of saltwater and freshwater importers and this policy allows us the best way to manage our service to our hobbyists.
*In order to make ordering fish online affordable, AquariumFishSale.com subsidizes the cost of shipping for our customers. Since the extra cost is covered by us, shipping is NOT refundable.
