Please note we do not cover the cost of reshipment of animals claimed under our 14 Day Guarantee (DOA or otherwise). Claims processed under our 14 Day Guarantee are processed for the live items only and do not include original shipping charges as those are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Backordered items will be either shipped separately at no charge or refunded to the original method of payment based on a number of factors (availability, shipment cost, etc.)

Unless stated within the description, the picture(s) of the item(s) for sale are generic pictures of items that we have had at some point. In order to keep costs low we do not take individual pictures of each item for sale. Due to differences in animals the item you receive may not look identical to the picture, however we hand choose each item for health and beauty.

AquariumDepot.com has no control over the products once they leave our premises.  AquariumDepot.com has no control over your tank and what you do with the products purchased.  We assume no responsibility over any losses due to the addition of any items.  Items purchased from AquariumDepot.com are to be used at your own discretion &/or quarantined as directed and advised by the University of Florida Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory as applicable.

On occasion we receive requests for specific gender preferences of animals. Unless advertised as a male or female in the item description there is no guarantee as to the gender of the item you will receive. Some items can be determined rather easily, however we still do not guarantee that you will receive the gender request you have made, and are not liable for any discrepancies about the gender of the item you receive.

We strongly advise including a correct/working phone number with your purchase. This will allow us to include it on the shipping info and you can be contacted by the shipping provider if there is an issue. AQuariumDepot is not responsible for errors, delays or loss in shipping that occur due to incorrect, old or missing destination information enter by the customer on our website or an alternate payment providers website (i.e. Paypal)

 

Shipping of any item/product ordered through the Site or in connection with your account are subject to the AQuariumDepot.com shipping policies as posted on our website.  Returns and or exchanges are not an option for live items sold on this site.  Due to the sensitive nature of shipping live animals in or out of the State of Florida, it requires permitting by the carriers and special permits by US Fish & Wildlife, Florida Fish and Wildlife and Fresh from Florida.  

We believe in the quality of our livestock. It is in our best interest, based on our commitment to the animals in our care, financially to our company and those we employ, to insure our animals are healthy and pest free. We encourage each customer to do research on the animals they introduce into their ecosystem and understand the requirements of proper water chemistry, tank setup, feeding and how compatible they are with the other members of the environment. It is important to us that any and all factors are reviewed when introducing a new member is not successful.

  • Based on that we reserve the right to request the return of the animal in question and we also may ask for a water sample to be submitted to our facility. Shipping for the return and water sample is the responsibility of the customer.

Death of an animal that occurs due to tank incompatibility is not covered under our 14 Day Guarantee.

Claims under our 14 Day Guarantee result in a replacement credit or coupon with our company and are not redeemable for cash and therefore are not eligible for a refund to the original method of payment.

Replacement of items/products and store credit to your account for shipped items/products claimed under our 14 Day Guarantee are subject to our investigation. We will adjust your account at our discretion.

**Repeated claims submitted under our 14 Day Guarantee may result in the cancellation of your account.
