Shipping & Delivery
Bluegrass Aquatics uses FedEx for all of our fish shipments. For orders over $100 the shipping is discounted to $39.95 for FedEx Express. For orders over $250 the shipping is free. For smaller orders the rates will vary according to zip code and shipping method selected. Overnight express is the preferred method of shipment and has 100% warranty. 2nd Day FedEx express is fine for most species during mild weather conditions. Mild weather is evening temperatures above 50 degrees and daytime below 90 degrees. Ground shipments are good for those in areas that is next day delivery and the weather conditions are mild. There is no warranty on 2nd day or ground shipments of any kind. The shipping calculator provided in the shopping cart directly below the add to cart will tell the cost of shipping. Bluegrass Aquatics guarantees live arrival on packages shipped using the preferred methods of overnight express. We cannot guarantee live arrival of packages that are not received on time due to carrier delay, whether it is due to weather conditions or failure to pick up or receive fish within two hours of arrival. We will, however, do our best to resolve any problems or question you may have. It is our goal to help you keep your fish alive and healthy. "Live arrival" is defined by Bluegrass Aquatics as follows: upon opening the box and inspecting your new arrivals, the fish are all swimming and appear to be in good order. In other words, they are not floating upside down dead. If you receive fish that do not meet these standards, it is the customer's responsibility to take digital pictures of the fish and email them to us within two (2) hours of receiving the fish. The digital pictures of your DOA fish should be taken while the fish is in the unopened bag or with the tails clip off if discovered after opening the bag. We also encourage you to call or email us once you receive your fish to confirm their safe arrival within 2 hours, particularly if any abnormal conditions or extreme stress of the fish are involved. In the case of a DOA of a guaranteed fish, a credit will be issued. We do not refund the cash value of the fish or the cost of shipping. In the event of total loss (80% or more) of a FedEx overnight shipment, a new order will be shipped at no cost to the customer or a credit for the total order including the shipping cost will be credit to the next order.
For customers in or visiting the Louisville area we offer free local pickup. Since we are not a retail store front this must be by appointment only.
