Live Arrival Guarantee

  • We guarantee that all fish will arrive alive. In the unlikely event that a fish is dead on arrival, customers must take photos and videos while the fish is still in its original packaging.
  • The photos and videos should then be sent to Golden Aquarium for review. This must be done as soon as possible after receiving the delivery to ensure the claim can be processed.

  • Shipping days and rates may be subject to change during holidays or special circumstances. We will notify customers of any such changes in advance.
  • Please ensure someone is available to receive your order on the expected delivery date to ensure the safety and health of the fish.
