Shipping live fish requires specialist overnight services to ensure their safety and wellbeing. While this does come at a higher cost, we’ve worked hard to keep pricing fair and offer free delivery on larger orders.
Our Promise
We genuinely care about your experience and the welfare of our fish. Problems are rare, but if something isn’t right, we’ll always aim to resolve it quickly and fairly.
Live Arrival Guarantee
We’re confident in the quality of our fish and the care we take when packing every order.
That’s why we offer a Live Arrival Guarantee—so you can order with confidence.
If, in the unlikely event, any fish arrive deceased (DOA), we will happily offer a refund for those items.

A Few Important Things to Know
We always aim for a smooth, next-day delivery, but occasionally delays can happen due to factors outside our control, such as weather or courier issues.
-
Please make sure someone is available to receive the delivery, as livestock cannot be left unattended
-
If delivery is missed, the parcel will be returned to us, and we’ll be in touch to rearrange
For addresses outside UK Mainland, we may contact you to discuss alternative arrangements or any additional charges.
If Something Doesn’t Go to Plan
If your order is delayed or returned, we’ll work with you to arrange a new delivery date as quickly as possible.
While we cannot accept responsibility for courier-related delays or indirect losses, we genuinely care about your experience—so if there’s an issue, please get in touch and we’ll do everything we can to help.
