Ship From Location
ALL the fish we sell are bred by us and will ship from our hatchery in Buffalo, New York.
Shipping costs depend on your location. Shipping to western US states is more expensive than shipping to eastern US states.
Recently increased shipping costs represent actual increased costs charged by UPS due to rising fuel and other prices nationwide.
We do not import fish.
We do not trans-ship fish.
Order Deadline
It takes us 48-72 hours to sort an order and prep the fish for shipment.
Our homepage shows the order deadline for our next shipping date.
Shipping information on our homepage is updated daily, as new information and plans are developed.
Shipping Prices
WINTER shipping prices and policies are now in effect: FOR ORDERS SHIPPING ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 14, 2024.
UPS shipping is not cheap, and we do our best to keep shipping costs low by charging for actual shipping cost.
In winter, each shipment is customized based on your location and temperatures to use the correct number and size of heat packs.
In winter (usually October - May), our shipping prices are higher because we use overnight air shipping with formed foam professionally insulated fish shipping boxes (the boxes alone cost $10 each). Every shipment is live-arrival guaranteed.
We will update the website as shipping prices change.
