The rate is shown at checkout. No shipping below 30°F or above 85°F; in winter and summer, Next Day Air is required.
Live Arrival Guarantee: covers fish shipped UPS Next Day Air; bettas, shrimp and snails are also covered on other services when delivered within 3 days of shipping. Within 1 hour of delivery, take a video of the fish in the unopened bag and 3 clear photos of the unopened bag next to the shipping label, then email support@mossandmolt.com with your order number and how many arrived dead.
