Please keep the following in mind:
- Snail Behavior After Shipping:
It's common for snails to remain inactive or stay inside their shells for up to 48 hours after arrival due to shipping stress. This does not mean they are dead. They need time to adjust and feel safe in their new environment. Gently placing them in your tank and being patient is often all it takes. - Live Arrival Guarantee Terms:
In the rare event of a DOA (Dead on Arrival), I require the following for a refund or replacement: - A clear photo of the snail next to the shipping label (with your address and the label visible), and
- Confirmation the snail is deceased, which can be shown by gently breaking the shell. This is a standard practice in the aquarium community to confirm DOA and prevent misunderstandings or fraud.
Photos must be sent within 2 hours of delivery, based on tracking.
