Return Policy

Plants:

Worried about ordering plants and having them shipped across the country? Well don't, we have a DOA policy that 100% guarantees plants will arrive alive and will be ok.

When it comes to plants, we don't accept returns on them as they would most likely not survive being shipped back to us.

If any plants arrive in poor condition, please take a photo of the plant in its unopened packaging and email us that photo within 6 hours of the plant’s arrival. We will examine the photo to verify if the plant is dead or stressed. In some cases, we may ask you to give the plant a few days to double check on its condition as plants are usually resilient. Please do not throw away any plants until we have a chance to respond, more often then not plants are usually ok.

We will either replace DOA plants, offer substitutes, or refund if it’s something we cannot get again.

All none tissue culture aquarium plants we sell are either grown in our own tanks or come from nursery farms. Because of this we use snails, shrimp, fish, and other means to help keep the plants as free from algae and other possible pests. However, we do our best to remove anything we see prior to shipping but, we cannot guarantee plants you receive will be 100% algae or pest free. If receiving plants with snails, possible algae, or other pests is not something you want please consider ordering only tissue cultures or watch this video on how to effectively clean your aquarium plants. We will not issue a refund for plants because of snails, algae. or other possible hitchhikers.

*If no picture is provided for the plants that may be damaged or DOA, our DOA guarantee is VOID.
