Terms and Conditions

Order's Quantities

All the fish species listed in our stock list are sold by standard box unit. Each standard box contains approximately 10-12 kg of fish depending on the species.

The order unit is the standard box and the minimum box quantity that you can order is ¼ box, so you can order 0.25 box, 0.50 box, 1 box, 1.25 boxes, 1.50 boxes, 2.00 boxes, etc. of a fish species.

We suggest a minimum order of 9 standard boxes (approximate weight 100 kg) because the airlines will calculate the freight cost having 100 kg as the minimum chargeable weight. That means that the freight cost for an order of 9 standard boxes and the freight cost for an order of 5 standard boxes will be the same.

If you need your order to be packed in double boxes please let us know when sending the order.

Packing Information

All the fish are packed in pressurized and oxygenated double polyurethane plastic bags inside styrofoam boxes, followed with corrugated box sealed with appropriate markings of shipment details.

DOA (Death On Arrival)

Under normal flight/shipment conditions, our records have shown more than 96.5% alive on arrival at destination airport.

Claims on DOA must be submitted by purchaser in two reports.

• The DOA Report must be submitted within 24 hours of shipment delivery. Without the DOA Report any claim of DOA will not be valid and thus will not be accepted.
• Photographic evidence of any DOA may be required and must be submitted to us by email for verification and acknowledgement as soon as they’re requested. We only accept quality pictures which clearly reveal the quantity in detail of the DOA reported. If the pictures don’t show clearly the quantity, the DOA claim will not be accepted. Our guarantee does not cover the shipping cost, applicable packing charge or required documents.

Losses due to carrier delay or mishandling must be filed with the airline. If no airline claim is filed you will not be entitled to their credit and we will demand full payment of the invoice.
