Q: Do you allow instore shopping?

A: we are currently an online only business.

 

Q: How does Canada Guppies DOA policy work?

A: Once it is determined that all requirements are meet for DOA guarantee, Canada Guppies will email you a DOA credit note that can be redeemed at your next online order.

Sample DOA credit note: John050421 2x cherry shrimp DOA

​

Then with a new order of 8 Cherry Shrimp, we will send you a total of 10 to accommodate the DOA credit.

That’s it! Your credit also will never expire, meaning if you order 1, 2, 3 years later, you will still receive any DOA credits that are outstanding. To redeem, all you have to do is copy and paste the credit note into the “Customer Notes” section during check out and we will process your order accordingly. If you do not use the note, no DOAs will be sent with the new order. ( IF YOU WOULD PREFER A DIRECT REFUND VIA E-TRANSFER CONTACT A CANADA GUPPIES AGENT)

 Q: Do we get a tracking number with our orders?

A: yes all of our shipping methods do include tracking unless otherwise specified

​

A: We only ship livestock orders out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays so they never have to risk a delay and sit at the post office over the weekend. Delivery time frame is dependant on shipping method chosen at checkout.

A: Notify us immediately in this situation. With our excellent DOA guarantee, you get peace of mind knowing that your package is still guaranteed if you have chosen a shipping method with it. After you notify us, we will work as quickly as possibly with the courier service to resolve this issue and let you know of our next steps. It may take up to 30 days for the courier service to provide a full credit if the package is 100% lost.

Rest assured if you ordered something from us you will get it one way or another.

A: It is the buyer’s responsibility to adhere to proper regulations and policies regarding to the importation of livestock and plants and to ensure any that any of the ordered livestock and plants purchased from us are allowed into the customer’s country. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience but we are 100% not responsible if customs does not release, confiscate, or destroy your package.

 

Q: How are livestock packed and shipped and what about the winter or summer weather?

 

A: All of livestock is carefully packaged in either double poly bags or single breather bags. We then use polystyrene to line the top and bottom of the cardboard box and stuff with recycled cellulose insulation. We also add a heat pack during winter or an ice pack during summer. (Breather bags are upon request and have 1$ charge per bag). Please be advised, it may be dusty upon opening the package from the cellulose insulation.
