Live Arrival Guarantee
The term live arrival guarantee is used for animal shipping in German-speaking countries, but it doesn't really describe the situation. After all, nobody can really guarantee that the animals will actually arrive alive. We do our best to pack the animals optimally, but the transport itself is still a burden for the animals.
In international trade, it's known as DOA (dead on arrival), it just doesn't sound that good. The point here is that the shipping risk is assumed by the sender. We also assume this shipping risk if shipping is done with GO! Animal courier done. Sending animals with other services is not recommended, as both the handling and the transport time significantly increase the risk for the animals. Someone who chooses to choose another parcel service also chooses to take the risk themselves!
If the animals did not survive the shipment, please contact our customer service with the relevant pictures of the shipment. Please photograph crabs and crabs lying on their backs. Complaints can only be processed on the day of receipt. Please check the shipment immediately upon receipt and contact us directly. After an internal check, you will receive a voucher from us to the value of the deceased animal, which you can redeem with your next order. Shipping costs incurred cannot be reimbursed.
Sulawesi shrimp are excluded from this guarantee!
We can only offer the live arrival guarantee when shipping to Germany. When shipping to another country, the buyer assumes the shipping risk.
