S&R POLICY – TL;DR VERSION:

🚨 Quick Shipping & Guarantee Overview:

• Free shipping is available on coral orders over $249, but replacements are not shipped by themselves.
• Replacements are shipped with a new order of reasonable value — typically equal or greater than the coral being replaced.
• NO refunds under any circumstances — replacements only.
• 30-Day Coral Guarantee applies to coral only, and requires stable, healthy reef conditions. Poor lighting, water parameters, or neglect will void the guarantee.
• Photos/videos are required to qualify for any guarantee.
• DOA corals must be photographed in the sealed bag within 2 hours of delivery, before placing in tank.
• If a box is left unopened for hours, or the coral has been added to the tank, both the DOA and 30-Day Coral Guarantee are void.
• Auction corals = DOA only, within 2 hours. No 30-day coverage.
• Fish orders are FINAL once sourced from supplier. No replacements. No refunds. Ever.

❗If you skip reading this and ask for free coral OR free shipping for your replacement(s), we’ll just point you back here.
By ordering, you agree to all of this.

General Shipping Information

• Shipping must be coordinated in advance. Email info@corals4u.us to schedule a shipping date.

• Processing Time: Usually 2 business days after payment clears (may vary based on volume).

• Free shipping applies to coral orders over $249.
• We do not ship to P.O. Boxes, APO, or FPO addresses.

Live Coral Guarantee – 30-Day Coverage

• All corals (except auctions) are backed by our 30-Day Coral Guarantee.
• If your coral arrives DOA or dies within 30 days, we will provide a replacement of equal value.
• Replacements are not shipped alone. They ship with your next order of reasonable value (varies based on order and situation).
• If the coral is out of stock, you may choose another of equal value.
• No refunds or store credit — replacements only.
• Proper tank conditions are required. Poor lighting, unstable parameters, or negligence voids the guarantee.
• Acropora color fading is not covered. Color loss is often due to factors outside our control.
• To qualify for DOA, the coral must be photographed in the sealed bag within 2 hours of delivery, prior to being placed in the tank.
• If the coral has been added to the tank or the box is left unopened for hours, it will no longer qualify as DOA, and the 30-Day Guarantee will also be voided.

Customer Responsibility on Arrival:

It is the customer’s responsibility to receive and acclimate corals promptly upon delivery.
Leaving the box unopened or letting it sit for hours voids both the DOA and 30-Day Guarantee.
Corals are live animals and must be handled with urgency upon arrival.
If the package shows delivered but was not opened in a timely manner, any losses are at the buyer’s risk.
