Acts of God/ Weather Delays
Weather delays can can be unexpected, and can result in the delay of your package. In the event that this should happen, we will immediately notify you on the status of your shipment. In some cases we may know of a weather delay just before we are about to ship your package. In the event this happens, we will call you to discuss a potential rescheduling of your product to a later date.

We will not be held responsible for the spoilage or reimbursement of shipping charges and address correction fees should this occur.

Authorized Release:
Please note, we ship all parcels Authorized Release, meaning if no one is home, the parcels may be left by the carrier at your door, and only if the carrier feels it is safe to do so. Carriers sometimes leave packages behind bushes or at conspicous locations to avoid theft. If at all possible, we recommend that you make arrangements to have someone home upon delivery, or if this is a gift, notify your recipient they will be receiving a package. This way, there will be less chance for a spoilage as result of a package sitting in the front door. Packages that are not left at the door will be returned to the station for re-delivery the following day or available for pick up at the local Carrier station. Please note, we do not guarantee products after the first day, once a product has been attempted for delivery.
Returns & Credits:
The only time we issue credits is when a customer receives a parcel late and the crabs are not alive upon delivery and you had notified us within 3 hours of receiving your parcel, by talking to someone live or leaving us a message. We reserve the right to request that the parcel delivered is shipped back to us for inspection. We will then issue you a credit or refund on the portion of product that was not delivered in good order.
