QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ORDER:

What does your shipping process look like?

• We review all orders to ensure that the appropriate heat or cold packs are used based on weather forecasts along with flagging any orders that cannot be shipped due to inclement weather, or livestock concerns like health or supply. We reserve the right to hold or cancel an order due to these conditions and you will be notified as soon as possible.
• Our team then works to carefully pick and inspect your fish and shrimp to make sure they are good to go. If your fish or shrimp do not look healthy due to any health changes, we will not send them out and those items will be cancelled from your order and refunded. We want your fish or shrimp to have the best chance possible to make it to you alive and sending them healthy is our number one priority.
• If it’s all clear. your order is packaged, labeled, and dropped off at the shipping facility for shipment to you.
• You will be emailed a tracking number after your order has been shipped.

All questions related to shipping once your order has left our facility should be redirected to USPS directly as we are unable to provide any further information.

In cases of extreme weather, USPS may hold your package at your local post office for pick-up.

My package was lost in transit, how do I file a claim?

You can file a claim here: https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm. You will need to register with the USPS for a free account. In order to file a claim you’ll need to provide: 

• Your tracking number
• A confirmation email regarding your order (invoice)
• You must file 15 after days but no later than 60 days

If you need to file a USPS claim regarding a lost shipment, our shipping address is: Aqua Huna, 620 S 7th Street, Renton, WA 98057, United States. You will need this information to file a claim. USPS usually processes claims in 5 to 10 days.

MY TRACKING NUMBER SAYS DELIVERED BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING. WHAT DO I DO?

If your tracking number states that the package was delivered but you did not receive anything you will have to contact the United States Postal Service and handle the issue with them. From our experience we have noticed that most of the time when this happens the package needs about 2-4 more days to show up and may have just been a delay or error with the U.S. Postal Service. We also suggest asking any neighbors or family members if they received the package on accident. Please check any mailboxes, leasing offices, or anywhere they may have dropped your items off instead of your door. We are not responsible for any stolen or lost goods once the tracking states that the item is delivered. If you believe the items may have been stolen, please file a claim with USPS to further the matter. The number to contact them is 1(800) 222-1811
