EasternMarine are?so confident of the health of our fish, that we offer an arrive alive guarantee for all fish sent out through our same day air freight shipping method. Infact, we only ship out what we would feel comfortable putting in our own tanks!
We do this by ensuring we only ship out healthy, fat fish, that are eating a wide variety of foods. We then take extra care packaging them correctly, to ensure there is no movement within the polybox and supply the fish with plenty of oxygen for the trip, and a heat pack (or two) to keep them nice and warm until they reach their new homes.
Arrive Alive Guarantee?Terms & Conditions
It’s really important that we put some guidelines in place to ensure both you and EasternMarine are covered, just incase something goes astray.
While we do try our very best, at the end of the day, we are only human, and when dealing with live animals, things sometimes do go wrong. Therefore, it’s important that you understand what you need to do, in the event that your new purchase dies in transit.?
