Return & Exchange Policy
We want every customer to be fully satisfied with their fish tank purchase, which is why we’ve established this clear Return & Exchange Policy to outline the conditions, procedures, and guidelines for returning or exchanging products. This policy applies to all fish tanks purchased from our online store, ensuring a fair and seamless process for both customers and our team.
To be eligible for a return or exchange, fish tanks must be in their original, unused, undamaged, and resalable condition. This means no scratches, cracks, chips, or signs of use, and all original packaging, components (bases, lids, care instructions), and tags must be included. Fish tanks that have been filled with water, used, damaged, or altered (including broken seals or scratched surfaces) will not be accepted for return or exchange. Returns must be initiated within 30 days of the delivery date—requests made after this period will generally not be approved.
Before returning any fish tank, you must notify us to receive return authorization. This step ensures that we can track your return and process it efficiently. Returns sent without prior authorization may experience delays, be refused, or require additional processing time. It is your responsibility to package the fish tank securely using appropriate materials (such as the original packaging, foam padding, and reinforced boxes) to prevent scratches, cracks, or breakage during transit. We recommend repacking the tank as it was received, ensuring all components are securely stored to avoid loss or damage.
Once we receive and inspect your returned fish tank, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your return. Inspections focus on the condition of the fish tank, completeness of packaging and components, and adherence to eligibility criteria. If approved, refunds will be processed to the original payment method used for the purchase. Refund processing times vary depending on your payment provider, bank, or card issuer, and may take 3-7 business days to appear in your account.
Shipping costs for returns are generally the responsibility of the customer, unless the return is due to our error—such as shipping a defective, damaged, or incorrect fish tank (e.g., wrong size or material). In such cases, we will cover reasonable return shipping costs after verifying the error with photos or other documentation. Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless the entire order is defective or incorrect due to our mistake.
Exchanges are subject to product availability. If the fish tank you wish to exchange for is out of stock, we will offer a refund or an alternative product of similar value and functionality. Exchanges follow the same eligibility criteria as returns—items must be unused, in original condition, and returned within the 30-day window. We do not accept exchanges due to customer error, such as incorrect size selection, change of mind, or misreading product descriptions (such as capacity or material).
Damaged or defective fish tanks must be reported within 48 hours of delivery to qualify for a replacement, refund, or free repair. We may request photos or videos of the damage to verify the issue. Normal wear and tear, accidental damage, improper use, or failure to follow care instructions (such as placing the tank on an unstable surface) are not covered under this policy.
We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet the eligibility requirements. International returns may involve higher shipping costs, longer transit times, and customs fees, all of which are the customer’s responsibility. We reserve the right to update or modify this Return & Exchange Policy at any time, with changes posted on our website. By initiating a return or exchange, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
