Frequently Asked Questions:

What are your shipping charges?

ORDER AMOUNT-------------SHIPPING CHARGE

$100.01 to $175.00--------------------$11.88
$175.00 and up----------------FREE SHIPPING!

Are there box charges or any additional shipping charges?

Nope! Unlike many other aquarium retailers we do not charge box fees or additional shipping charges for large, bulky, or heavy items. The simple shipping charges are all we ask.

Do you offer overnight shipping?

We do not currently offer expedited shipping. One pound rates to California start at $65.40 and increase from there. Most customers are not willing to pay this much!

What if an item is out of stock?

More than 99.8 percent of our orders are completely in stock and ship within 1 full business day. If your items are out of stock we will notify you via e-mail. Then, at your discretion, you may receive a full refund, or be placed on our back-order list to receive the item as soon as it becomes available.

What is your return policy?

If you wish to return any items, please contact us in advance for an RMA number. There is a 15% restocking fee for all returns. Shipping charges are non-refundable. Please note that we will only accept new, unused, and unopened items. All returned products must be 100% complete in original undamaged packaging and in resalable condition, with all packaging, software, manuals, cables, components, blank warranty cards and other accessories and documentation included.

One an item is opened, it is no longer re-saleable and can not be returned!

Do you have a toll free 24 hour telephone order line?

In the interest of providing the lowest prices and fastest service we do not. We can implement one, but it would result in a 20 to 30% price increase!

Do you accept purchase orders and payment after delivery by check or C.O.D?
