SHIPPING

(WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR PACKAGING AND IN SHOWS IN OUR LACK OF LOSSES)

To help our plants make it to you in the healthy state that you expect, we reserve the right to delay shipping of live plants when weather conditions do not allow for safe arrival. This does not pertain to dry goods. 

All orders are shipped Monday-Thursday, excluding holidays. If your order is placed prior to 7 AM EST, it should go out within 1 business day. 

Know the weather in your area and please delay your order if above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. 

All orders are currently being shipped via UPS. Purchasing expedited shipping will make sure your package is in transit for a shorter duration.

Please Note: When ordering both dry goods and plants, we may sometimes separate the order. 

Please double check you shipping address prior to placing your order as we will not be held responsible for items Dead On Arrival due to an undeliverable package or incomplete shipping address.

Damaged packages, lost packages, and/or any mishandling by the United States Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FedEx), or other logistics/courier service provider is not our responsibility. However, we will make sure to take the proper steps to resolve the situation by filing a claim on your behalf. This process can take some time (14+ business days depending on the courier service), so please bear with us as we assist in fixing any issues that may arise. 

**Note that some plants we carry may be considered federal or state noxious weeds. It is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to check with their own state rules and regulations before ordering (you can check the list here). All of our plants clear stringent import regulations via the USDA. 

 

RETURNS

Dry Goods:

We offer a 30 day return policy on dry goods. Product must be unused and factory sealed. Store credit will be issued for any items that have been opened, but Aquarium Roots determines these case by case to determine the solution fit for each inquiry.

Please Note: A 30% re-stocking fee will be applied on all refunds issued for opened or used items, or items that get returned without original packaging. Customer must pay shipping fees.

Plants and Perishables:

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns for perishable items such as plants, livestock or opened food. We do however provide 100% guaranteed Dead On Arrival protection.

To start a return, you can contact us at aquariumroots@gmail.com. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at aquariumroots@gmail.com.

Damages and issues 

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

If there's a problem, we will take care of it.
