Get The Actual Shipping Rate
How the actual shipping rates are calculated?
Since FedEx, UPS, and USPS are our logistic partners, the actual rates are calculated from their rates and are determined by:
- Number of fish in the box.
- Size of the fish since we need a corresponding amount of water and oxygen to ensure their safety.
- Your shipping address’s zip code (we are shipping from Massachusetts, USA).
How to get the actual shipping rates for your order?
- Add the fish that you want to buy into cart and press Checkout.
- The system will prompt you to enter your shipping address (Addresses will automatically be filled if you’re logged in as a member).
- The website will then provide you with all the available shipping services that we are offering and the services’ actual price.
- Different options have their own policies and guarantees, read about our shipping information & policies here.

Air Cargo shipping information
Air Cargo
Air Cargo is a highly recommended air service for fish delivery. It is the safest, fastest and most affordable for our customers, especially for high value fishes or multiple fishes in one order. The fish will fly from our Boston Logan (BOS) Airport to your nearest Airport. You will need to pick the package at the Airport Cargo area. We highly recommended this because the fishes will take the road with us to the Airport, flying, and take the road to their forever home by you. It is much better that we drive them, instead of delivery man.

Pickup Area
Air Cargo may sounds scary like you have to go into the Airport to pick up from the Airplane. No, it is not. It is similar to when you got a mail delivered to you local Post Office. The Air Cargo package is similar to the mail, it arrives at the destination Airport and stay there waiting for you to pick up. Most of the Airport will have Air Cargo area where companies like Delta or Southwest will have their pickup area/office.
Air Cargo Pickup document needed:
- Recipient’s Driver License
- Airway Bill (The Tracking Number that we provided)
To find the Cargo area, please search on Google Maps for the Airport Name and Cargo Service Name. For Example: “LAX Southwest Air Cargo”.
