Customer service does not exist. No refunds on items that arrive dead. Yet you pay $40 for shipping (2) 1" shrimp? WTF? Shop elsewhere please! Don't support this fecal train wreck of a business.

This company does not like us! I place an order with my partner and the refused to ship it. Worst part is I had to dispute the charge.

I have ordered marine fish and corals from this company for 8 years and will not buy again. The order was placed in my name; however, the company did not have available two of the fish I paid for. So, a call comes to the house while I am at work putting my husband on the spot that the only replacement available for a chocolate tang is a convict tang. I did not want a convict tang and considerable difference in price, tank compatibility, and brilliance exists between these two fish. My husband inquired about a refund for the fish not "passing inspection" which I believe were sold out instead, and was told by the representative that this was his only option. When I found out what occurred, I was very upset and the manager stated there was nothing she would do. She was rude and told me to donate the fish I did not want to a library or school. This is the most rude and unethical response I have ever dealt with. What I am doing in reality is accepting the blame for this company's bad customer service skills and donating money to Saltwaterfish.com for a product I did not want. This is a really poor way to conduct business. The manager additionally informed me that phone calls are made to households; therefore, if a child, guest, or whatever answers the phone, this individual will be making choices on replacements as stated "it is not our policy to request the person that placed the order in their name." I additionally paid additionally charges to Saltwater.com to have my delivery arrive prior to 12pm of which did not arrive until close to 4pm... so, some species were dead on arrival. That is, a box sitting in a hot FED EX truck for hours in Arizona in the middle of three digit weather. All in all, the customer service, service in general, and guarantees have changed. IT is obvious the staff and company do not care about the customers or having the livestock arrive safely. Would not recommend!

Poor service, poor quality of fish. Quick to take your money, slow in processing your order if at all.

Received half of my livestock DOA. Instead of giving me $100+ credit they gave me $4 dollars. What a joke.
