Shipping

[monsinour]

On your shipping page, the one thing that is not there, that I feel should be there is a time frame from purchase to receipt.
Say I ordered on wednesday at 6 pm est. When could i expect to receive my fish order? I ask this as i have seen this for other internet livestock sellers and thought that it would be a good thing to have here.
Also, what is the deal with the $99 shipping? I clicked on the link on the front page and it took me nowhere.

When you place your order, you are given the time frame as well as options to help you schedule the best time for your shipment to arrive to you.
Those places that say, we ship Mondays and Tuesdays and your shipments will arrive on Thurdays and Fridays are the ones where you have to work around their schedule. From my experience SWF is more than willing to work around yours.

Generally when you place an order here...UNLESS you ask for a specific date...it ships the next day...EXCEPT if it is a Fri/sat then it will ship Monday

Ok, so having the ability to schedule your delivery is a better service? So if its next day, and I place the order on thursday, will I get it friday or tuesday? Like what is the cutoff for shipping for that?

If you place it Thursday, you will get it Tuesday....they will only ship on Friday if you request the special Saturday delivery
if you want it any other day...just specify that in the comment section of the order

so basically only place orders on sunday thru wednesday.

You can place an order anytime. Up to a week in advance) There is a calendar tool during the checkout process for your convenience or you may place a note in the comment section at checkout indicating what day is best for your schedule.
Generally an order ships within 24 hours of it being placed if there is no delivery request. (excluding weekend of course).
It is always a welcome sight to see an order that has a specific delivery date- that way we know you are going to be available and have the time to acclimate!
If we cannot meet your specified delivery date- we will call you and work with you to get it delivered on your next available date.

Great, and what is the deal with the $99 shipping? I need a little further clarification on that.

thank you much Gemmy.

I believe that special ended today.
There is an easy to read shipping table located in the left hand navigation bar under the heading: Resources.

And you can buy stuff out of the free shipping store...totalling $80......you can add anything else from the site after that and get free shipping on your whole order
