Fish, starfish, anemones and shrimp are unable to be shipped via overnight courier and will only be shipped via same day airfreight.
Livestock is shipped in separate bags (some snails are bulk packed as per industry standard), with medical grade oxygen injected into each bag, an agent that reduces?stress and ammonia toxicity?added to fish bags, and a heat pack (or two) added to each polybox to ensure a optimum temperature is maintained while your new addition is in transit to you. We review the actual weather conditions in the destination of all orders to optimize the packing specific to your area.
