Fish, and sensitive corals and invertebrates, fly to your nearest Qantas Freight terminal for you to collect. They are never sent door to door. Fish are dispatched on Tuesday and Thursday nights and are usually ready to collect the next day, subject to freight company availability. Livestock boxes carry livestock only; any dry goods in the same order ship separately at the dry goods rate. Some species need an import permit for Tasmania and some other states, and we will contact you before dispatch if yours does.

Dead on arrival and damage
Livestock claims must reach us within 6 hours, with photos of the animal in the sealed bag and out of it. For airport collection, the 6 hours run from when the freight lands at the terminal, not from when you collect it. Damaged or incorrect dry goods must be reported within 24 hours. Full details are in our Refund & DOA Policy. Email photos to sales@oceanreefs.com.au.
