L NUMBER D.O.A policy.

Dead On Arrival (DOA)

AFK has partnered with an Australian breeder to bring you high quality, rare, L Number Plecos. Because of this all of our L Number Plecos have a different D.O.A and Shipping policy.

Please read our policy below:

All of our shipped orders are backed by our guarantee of alive on arrival. On the rare occurrence of a DOA, the value of the dead fish will be refunded, but shipping costs are non refundable.

All orders shipped with Virgin Australia or Toll Priority will be 100% covered by our policy. Orders shipped with Australia Post Express Post will only be covered if the package arrives overnight, we will not cover delayed shipments. And don't cover shipments sent to a PO Box.

Steps that must be taken on all orders

• When you receive your package, in case any fish have died in transport, please take a video of the package being opened and clearly showing the fish. This is a very rare occurrence as our packaging is second to none.

• Contact us via email right away (aussiefishkeeping@gmail.com) and provide the video and any photos.

Refund is void if any of the following occur

• Nobody is home for collection and the package is left on your doorstep or taken back to the post office or courier depot.

• If the courier or postman can't deliver the package due to gates being locked or if the address is an apartment or unit building that they don't have access too.

• If the postal or courier company have issues on their end which is clearly out of our hands and not our fault,

• We are not contacted within 1 hour of deliveries by Toll Priority or Australia Post Express.

• We are not contacted within 1 hour of the scheduled pickup time on deliveries by Virgin Australia.

• A video is not provided of the box being opened and showing the fish dead inside the unopened bag. 

If any of the above steps are not followed, we reserve the right to not provide a refund for the order.
