Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does shipping work?

Shipping is flat rate based on the shipping method (most orders will use UPS Next Day Air) and four box sizes: small, medium, large, and giant. Partially filled boxes cost the same as full boxes. To maximize your shipping dollars, our checkout will show how much room is left in each box so you can fill up the box of your choice.

Heat and cold packs will be added as needed at no extra charge.

How long does it take for my order to ship?

Usually your order will ship within a week, on a Monday or Wednesday. We'll notify you via email what day we plan to ship; if other arrangments serve you better just reply to that email.

Most fish are pulled the day before being shipped and fasted so they can void their bowels before their trip. This means we need at least 2 days (though we usually take 3-5 business days) to ship each order. The upside, our fish arrive without ammonia burn or other damage from toxic materials in the water.

How do I see the most recently added items?

There are two ways to know what items have been added to inventory.

1. To see the most recently added items just visit our products page here: dansfish.com/product. This page defaults to most recent, but also has other sorting options, including by price.
2. To be notified via email when items are back in stock just add them to your wish list. Out of stock items are listed at the bottom of each category, or on the wish list page: dansfish.com/wishlist.
