Shipping & Pick-Up Policy
You can find below our delivery and pick-up policies which may vary based on the type of product purchased (i.e. live stocks, plants, supplies, equipments, etc...).
Delivery Policy
All orders are delivered using the Discus.ae vehicles which are equipped to transport live fish, frozen goods, plants, glass content, and care products safely under temperature controlled conditions.
All purchases are subject to product availability and will arrive following our delivery schedule. In case items are unavailable, a representative will contact the enlisted phone number or send an email to the address on file to notify.
All our live stocks are thoroughly tested and quarantined before packing and guaranteed to arrive free of tapeworms or diseases. Any death or illness of live animals after being added to an aquarium cannot be replaced or refunded. If such problems are encountered then it is connected to aquarium conditions or non-compatible tank mates (e.g. mixing with fish or plants from other sources). Fish acclimation to a new aquarium is the sole responsibility of the buyer and not the Discus.ae delivery team.
