Dead on Arrival

We prioritize the safe delivery of your fish with every precaution. In the event of issues like Dead on Arrival (DOA) fish or incorrect items in your order, please adhere to these guidelines for submitting a claim:

Claim Submission Deadline: Ensure your claim is submitted within 2 hours of confirmed delivery to prevent voiding of your warranty or guarantee.

Evidence Required: Record a clear video and take a photo of the deceased or incorrect fish in the sealed bag, and send them to kaijugoldfish@gmail.com.

Information Needed: Include your full name, phone number, and Order number in the email. Please note that we are not liable for fish perishing due to the customer's unavailability to receive the delivery. Make sure you're available upon arrival.

Prompt Contact: Contact us within 2 hours of receiving the package to facilitate DOA or incorrect fish claims, using the delivery time provided by the carrier's tracking information for verification.

Please note that valid DOA claims are eligible for store credit only. Once processed, you'll receive credit for future purchases. It's important to remember that shipping costs are non-refundable.

 

7-Day Warranty

At Kaiju Goldfish USA, we are dedicated to your success in fishkeeping, as your success directly impacts ours. We take great care to ensure that your goldfish is healthy and well-cared for before shipping. However, it’s important to understand that fish experience stress during shipping and while adjusting to their new environment. To help your fish recover and acclimate quickly, providing the optimal conditions is crucial (click here for tips on ensuring a smooth transition). While we can't control the environment once the fish leaves our facility, we offer a 7-day warranty that covers the full cost of the fish (excluding shipping), but only for those who select our recommended 1-day shipping option (not flat rate).

To have your claim considered, please follow the steps below and email them to KaijuGoldfish@gmail.com: 

  • Any signs of illness should be reported to us immediately.
  • Perform a water test on the tank where the fish is in and send it to us. Ensure it shows the results along with the reference guide
  • If the fish dies, record a 15 seconds clear video of the dead fish
  • Perform a water test on the tank where the fish was in as soon as you discover that the fish has expired. Ensure it shows the results along with the reference guide

Order Modification

Customers may request modifications to their order, such as changes in shipping preferences. An invoice for any price difference will be sent via email.

Requests to exchange fish requires approval. If approved, a fee of 30% of the exchanged fish's price will apply to cover potential lost sales due to its removal from our listings at the time of purchase.

For any modification requests, please email KaijuGoldfish@gmail.com with your order number.

Order Cancellation

If you request to cancel your order, a 30% cancellation fee will be deducted from the total transaction amount. This fee covers administrative costs, restocking, the potential loss of a sale (as the fish may have been sold to another buyer after the listing was removed), and any unused resources.

Please be aware that once your order has entered the shipping process, cancellations or changes are no longer possible.

To initiate a refund or cancellation, please email us at kaijugoldfish@gmail.com, including your full name, phone number, and order number.

Please Note: Making a purchase requires careful consideration. We undertake multiple steps to prepare live goldfish for shipment, such as fasting and professional packaging, incurring preparation costs covered by the restocking fee. Thus, we urge customers to factor this into their decision-making process

By placing an order with us, you acknowledge and agree to adhere to our cancellation policy. Should you have any inquiries or reservations regarding this policy, we encourage you to reach out to us prior to making a purchase.

 

By placing an order, you acknowledge that you are purchasing a live commodity, which is non-returnable and non-refundable, except under the specific conditions outlined above. We assume no liability for any issues arising beyond those conditions.

Policies may be updated without prior notice. We recommend checking back regularly for the latest information.
