All livestock ships via UPS, Next Day Air AM delivery. This is 10:30am or noon in rural areas. Order are packed 4pm - 7pm and dropped at my local UPS hub at 7:45pm.

Shipping Schedule

Shipping occurs Monday - Thursday. Orders placed by 4pm eastern ship same day. Even after 4pm I can usually accommodate a same day shipping. If you would like me to hold your order for a future ship date you can add that to notes at checkout.

If reported delays due to inclement weather in the shipping route from Dayton, Ohio to you; I will contact you to work out a shipping date that gives the best chance for a on-time arrival.

If a loss occurs in shipping I have you covered. When I see other retailer’s that have a clause not to cover loss from shipping delays due to unforeseen circumstances  beyond your control, that is just crazy to me. A late package doesn’t mean there will be a loss. I pack all order to be able to sustain two day transit time; just in case. Due to the current shipping pressure on UPS on occasion it doesn’t arrive until afternoon or evening. Corals may arrive colder or warmer due to a delay and will need a bit of extra float time to come up to temperature.

There is one exceptions to guarantee. If I recommend not shipping due to something significant impacting UPS. For example if I contact you due to extreme weather and recommend holding the order until a better day however you request I ship anyway. I have no problem doing that but if there was a loss due to significant delay I can’t guarantee because the delay was expected.

The week following Thanksgiving and week prior to Christmas  UPS is completely overwhelmed. I don’t  recommend shipping during this time. If requested I will ship however there is a high probability that it will arrive significantly late.
