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.

  • 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.
