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. Corals are double bagged (6mil poly) and are impact protected by custom made laser cut cups. Then they are packed into a 1.5” thick solid EPS Foam coolers which sits inside of a corrugated box. 40hr heat packs or ice packs are used as needed. 

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. This is the shipping unless UPS is closed.  Then the shipment goes out on the following day. UPS holiday schedule can be found here.

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.

Exceptions to guarantee:

Shipping on blackout dates or If I recommend not shipping due to something significant impacting UPS. If I contact you due to excessive heat/cold at your location 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 a delay or excessive temperatures I can’t guarantee because that was expected. Wholesale Orders are excluded from loss due to shipping delays. We recommend that you provide us with a UPS label from your account with insurance so that you can work directly with your account manager for a refund. 
Lastly if you request your order to be delivered to a business and your business doesn’t have someone present to receive the order. 

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.
