Packed and shipped by our partner Corydorables (Westminster, California), separately from our shrimp, with its own tracking. Ships Monday and Tuesday, usually within 10 business days, to the 48 contiguous states, by UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air (bettas, shrimp and snails can also go Priority). 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. You get a refund or store credit for the dead fish, or a replacement if you pay the reshipping.
Not covered: shipping fees, free extras, claims after 1 hour, lost or carrier-delayed packages, packages not picked up the same day, and non-betta fish shipped by any service other than UPS Next Day Air.
