Important Notes

Live aquarium plants naturally vary in size, shape, and appearance at the time of shipment. Growth and coloration may differ depending on lighting, nutrients, and aquarium conditions. Images are for reference only.

We carefully inspect and prepare all plants before shipment and ensure they are pest-free at the time of packing. However, because live aquarium plants are natural products, occasional hitchhikers such as bladder snails or other microorganisms may appear after transit or acclimation, which is beyond our control.

At Canton Aquatics LLC, we take great pride in providing high-quality live aquarium plants to our customers. We understand the complexities involved in shipping live plants and are committed to ensuring they arrive at your doorstep in excellent condition.

Shipping Process:

• All live plants are shipped using USPS Standard and Priority Mail to provide the fastest and most reliable service.
• Plants are typically shipped Monday - Friday to avoid weekend delays.
• Each plant is carefully packaged in sealed plastic bags to hold in moisture during the shipping process.

DOA (Dead on Arrival) Policy:

• For a valid DOA claim, replacements or refunds will be processed within 2 business days after the claim is approved.
• Please keep in mind that all plants require sun light to live therefore your plants may arrive slightly yellow.  Please float your plants at the top of your tank near the light for 3 days if applicable.  They will enjoy this new added light intensity to help them recover.

• The DOA policy is only applicable if the first delivery attempt is made within the shipping duration specified at the time of purchase.
