DOA POLICY FOR ALL FISH AND CORAL

• Alien Reef Aquatics guarantees all fish and coral to “arrive alive”. All “DOA” (dead on arrival) claims MUST be submitted within 2 hours of receipt of the package. A detailed email sent to alienreefaquatics@gmail.com with a photo/video of the D.O.A. in the unopened bag must be taken and emailed to us within 2 hours of delivery. If the fish/coral are double bagged, the outside bag can be removed to take a better photo or video. 
• Alien Reef Aquatics is not responsible for any losses due to carrier delays, mishandling, or weather, as these things are far beyond our control.
• Alien Reef Aquatics reserves the right to delay any shipment because of weather or shipping conditions that could impact the health of our fish and coral. The fish and coral health is always the most important concern for us. 
• Alien Reef Aquatics will only issue refunds in the form of a credit to be used on future orders. There will be no refund on shipping charges under any circumstances.
• Alien Reef Aquatics is not responsible for any losses due to improper care. Please rest assured that we will work with you to resolve any issue that arises to the best of our ability.
