RETURN POLICY
If you receive anything but a healthy snail, take 2 or 3 pictures in its unopened sealed bag and get in contact with us within 4 hours of the arrival of the package. We will get back to you after we've successfully examined the snail. If the snail is indeed dead, we will gladly send you a replacement or we'll refund you if the item is no longer in stock.
Upon receiving your snails, you may notice that they aren't moving. This is normal! When snails are shipped they become very stressed and their method of defense is to retrieve their bodies into the shell. Put them in your aquarium and wait a couple of hours. They should adjust and start working right away! (If a snail dies during shipping, its body will hang out the shell)
After contacting us, and after we give you the green light to return an item, you can do so by shipping the item to the address we will then provide to you.
