We ship fast, with live arrival guaranteed!

Refund Policy

By placing an order with JUSTFISHYTHING, you confirm that you have read and agree to all policies outlined below.

Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG)

We guarantee all fish will arrive alive and healthy.
If a DOA (Dead on Arrival) occurs, we will issue store credit for the fish cost or send a replacement.

To qualify for the Live Arrival Guarantee:

  • Inspect your fish immediately upon delivery
  • Provide clear photos of the fish inside their original, unopened bags
  • Provide clear photos of packagings delivered
  • Submit your claim the same day the package is delivered via https://justfishything.com/apps/claims

Claims without photos of the sealed bags cannot be accepted. Claims submitted via social media messaging are not valid.

1. Post Office / Shipping Carrier Delays

  • Carrier delays do happen and can affect the health of the fish. The Live Arrival Guarantee covers the first 3 days after the carrier scans your package into their system. Delays or loss beyond that window are the carrier's responsibility and are not covered.
  • Our shipping labels come with standard carrier insurance of $100. Ask us if you want to file a carrier claim. Approval is not guaranteed and depends on the carrier. If the carrier approves the claim, we pass the refund on to you.
  • For full coverage against carrier delays, loss, theft, or misdelivery, add optional Shipping Protection at checkout.
  • If you need to change your shipping date because of unsafe weather, please email us.

2. Missed First Delivery Attempt

  • You must monitor your tracking information
  • If the carrier fails to deliver on the first attempt, LAG becomes void

3. Package Left Outdoors in Extreme Weather

  • LAG is void if your package is left outside for more than 2 hours when:
  • Temps are below 45°F, or
  • Temps are above 95°F
  • Bring packages indoors promptly to avoid temperature stress.
  • We will hold shipments if weather is unsafe (too hot or too cold).
  • This is the only exception to our “no holding fish” policy.
  • Heat packs last ~72 hours; please pick up delayed packages promptly.

Refund Policy

Approved Live Arrival Guarantee claims are refunded as store credit for the fish cost, or replaced. Store credit cannot be returned to the original payment method.

Refunds to your original payment method are available only on orders that added Shipping Protection at checkout.
