Our Ordering Policies

If your cleaners do not make the trip, we offer an Alive Arrival Guarantee. To take advantage of the guarantee, notify us within a reasonable time for the item to recover from shipping stress or to confirm if it didn’t make the trip. Snails take some time to come around, especially Ceriths, which can take up to 72 hours. After we confirm your loss, you will receive a refund for the purchase price of the claim. In some cases, we will ship extras to make up for deficiencies. We reserve the right to require documentation such as a photo. Please take a picture (not a video) of all the items you would like refunded.

If you receive a notice because you were unavailable to receive the shipment, you must pick up the package. Rescheduling delivery will take a long time, and losses will occur as a result. Therefore, we ask that you be proactive in getting the packages. 

To qualify for our Alive Arrival Guarantee, you must be home at the time the package is delivered or discuss with us prior to shipment that you will not be home and the package will be left somewhere. Please do not let packages sit out if they contain live animals, which will adversely affect their health.

If an item is missing from your order or is out of stock at the time of shipment, we will issue a refund for the item(s) plus their pro-rated shipping value. (Item + (Item Price divided by the Total Order Price minus discounts multiplied by the Shipping Cost) = refund amount.) If you want a different policy, we must know in advance. Our cost of shipping is higher than the flat rate we charge, so we do not cover shipping twice. If you want these different terms, please work that out with us prior to shipment. Once the package is shipped, the standard terms apply. 

We will accept the risk of late shipments and refund any losses, including pro-rated shipping refunds for photographed losses. Any refunds available for the shipping will be credited to us to help offset the cost of losses and drive the average cost of shipping down. (The actual cost of the shipping label is usually higher than what we charge, but we are able to reduce it because of the refunds we get from late shipping labels). We realize this will work to our benefit in some cases, but rest assured, in the long run, the last thing we want is for your package(s) to be delayed. There is nothing worse for us than lost packages. If you would like a refund for the amount paid towards the label, notify us before the shipment goes out that you will accept the risk of any delay or prior to the arrival of the package. By arranging our shipping label refund policy in this way, you are covered for the order value, and we can cover the risk of delays without building them into our prices. 

Never refuse or return your package without opening and inspecting it. Refused packages endure extremely long delays in handling because of the second trip back to us and are likely to suffer losses. Carriers do not cover perishables. Only we do. Please do not refuse orders because of box damage or delays, even if your carrier says it is covered. They are just unaware of this exception to their company’s policies.  

We require that the address on your order is correct.

Please double-check your shipping address and be sure to include any suite or apt. #. We are not responsible for incorrect addresses.

  • Promotions cannot be combined.
  • Rock cannot be discounted.
  • Penny Items and free items are not covered or replaced because they are basically free. 

Special services are available for an additional cost, such as Hold for Pickup. We ask that you pay actual shipping charges in these cases rather than the flat rate we usually charge. We do not charge for boxes or packing materials, just the actual cost of the shipping label.

  • Orders cannot be canceled once tracking information has been issued or processed.
  • We can only edit information and re-invoice for add-on items.
  • All Order Cancellations are subject to a 10% processing fee – NO EXCEPTIONS.

While we prefer to settle disputes through communication, any lawsuit arising from using this website, our products, advice, or services must be filed with a court within 20 miles of Stuart, Florida. If there is no court with jurisdiction to hear the case within that range, then it must be brought in a court within 60 miles of Stuart, Florida. Finally, if there is still no venue with jurisdiction to hear the case within the 60-mile radius, the lawsuit may be filed anywhere in the state of Florida. In any event, you agree by using this website, our services, our advice, or our products that jurisdiction is proper for all purposes in the state of Florida and that jurisdiction would be improper elsewhere.
