Saltwaterfish.com has been shipping live saltwater fish and corals with FedEx since 1999. We use high-priced bag clipping machines to ensure that the oxygenated bags you receive retain the oxygen that was placed in them at time of shipping. Each item is packed with its own requirements and specifications based on experience from years of shipping live goods overnight. Each order is then placed inside a thick styrofoam cooler that insulates the contents from any damage or extreme temperatures. This secure box is then placed into a corrugated box that further secures the safety of your new purchase.

Saltwaterfish.com ships year around at all temperature ranges. Destination temperatures for each individual package are determined daily and Cool Packs or Heat Packs are included when necessary. Saltwaterfish.com has been shipping with FedEx during all temperature ranges since 1999, including to Alaska in the dead of Winter and Arizona during the dog-days of Summer. The Saltwaterfish.com 15-Day Guarantee is valid for all temperatures, because we are confident that outside temperature should not affect the items in your order.

The time your order will be delivered is up to the FedEx station in your area. There is an option during checkout to have the package held at the FedEx station if you are unable to be home for a delivery or need a specific delivery time. If you choose this option please use the FedEx station as your delivery address. You can pick up the package at your convenience anytime after 9am at the FedEx station if you have chosen to have it held at the station.

Saltwaterfish.com only ships within the continental U.S and Alaska (Alaska incurs an additional $25.00 FedEx fee). We do not ship internationally or to Hawaii.
