    Delivery Times:

    Estimated delivery times displayed at checkout are based on the chosen shipping method and your location. These are estimates and may vary depending on unforeseen circumstances, such as:

    • Weather delays
    • Carrier issues (e.g., mechanical problems, peak season delays)
    • Remote locations with limited delivery frequency

    We will keep you informed of any significant delays that may impact your order.

    Tracking Your Order:

    Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. Use this tracking number to monitor your delivery progress on the carrier's website.

    Order Tracking and Delivery Issues:

    • If you have any questions about your order tracking information or encounter delivery issues, please contact us immediately. You can reach us by email at [Your Email Address] or by phone at [Your Phone Number].
    • We have a dedicated customer service team available to assist you and resolve the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.

    Additional Considerations:

    • Delivery Restrictions: We may have limitations on deliveries to certain remote areas, countries with specific import regulations, or locations with restricted access (e.g., military bases). These restrictions will be displayed during checkout if applicable.
    • Order Accuracy: Double-check your shipping address and chosen delivery method during checkout to ensure your order is delivered to the correct location and arrives within your desired timeframe.
    • Signature Confirmation: You may choose to add signature confirmation to your order for an additional fee. This ensures someone must be present to receive the package, potentially reducing the risk of theft for valuable items.
    • Insurance: For valuable orders or those containing live animals, you may consider purchasing additional shipping insurance during checkout. This provides financial protection against loss or damage during transit.

    By understanding our detailed shipping and delivery policy, you can choose the best shipping option for your needs and ensure a smooth delivery experience for your aquaculture products.
