I ordered live amphipods twice
I ordered live amphipods twice. Both shipments arrived dead and smelly. The replacement they sent after the first failure also arrived dead.
When I requested a refund, I was told spring temperatures make live shipping risky — but there is no such warning anywhere on their website. Not on product pages, not at checkout, not in the FAQ. I ordered in good faith.
What's worse: their own shipping policy states they 'only ship when conditions are appropriate for a safe arrival.' They chose to ship twice anyway. Both times: dead on arrival.
When I pointed this out, the owner Christina responded in writing that live animal shipping involves variables outside her control, that store credit is their final resolution, and that I was free to leave a public review or file a dispute if I disagreed. So here I am, doing exactly that.
Two failed shipments, no refund, no accountability, and a form letter telling me to go away. Shop elsewhere.
