Terms of Service

OUR AIM IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BEST QUALITY POSSIBLE!

  1. We carefully protect and post the algae water sealed in a postage box. Usually, we post the algae submersed in some water, heat sealed and carefully protected in small boxes which will fit most letterboxes so there is no need to stay at home but we offer you as well a tracked express delivery option which you can choose at the checkout. Further details you can find in our DELIVERY TERMS
  2. The macro algae will be posted to you Monday - Wednesday morning so that it won't get stuck too long in the delivery process and we can provide you with fresh and healthy algae specimens. If you have any special delivery days in mind please let us know.

  3. To ensure a safe delivery process the free delivery option comes with a 2D barcode, which allows us to track the parcel for you.
    The Express Delivery option will include a tracking code for you which will be provided by a separate email.

  4. We go do our best to quarantine, treat and remove any unwanted hitchhikers, parasites etc from our macro algae. But we can not guarantee that the algae are completely free of anything unwanted. This is simply because that sometimes eggs, spores, etc can remain viable but not visible and hitchhikers can still stay hidden in dense algae structures, despite our strict quarantine efforts. 
  5. We highly recommend therefore that you properly quarantine anything new before adding it to your marine tank.

Further details you can find in our DELIVERY TERMS


Please be advised that orders to the EU ( Outside the UK ) will be just posted out every Monday morning.  
This will give the marine algae the best chance to arrive fast at yours.

Although we do our best to protect the algae as good as possible, we, unfortunately, can not guarantee the quality of the algae, as it might be longer in transport than usual. 

Therefore any posting within the EU ( outside the UK ) would be fully at your own risk. 
We can not replace any algae which diminished in transit.

Please check before you order if there are any algae you are not allowed to import to your country, as we can not be held responsible for this and any problems which might occur with this, like for example a stopped delivery in transit.

  • You must advise us within 12 hours of taking delivery that you suspect a problem or when you are not fully happy with the algae you have received. 

  • We can just accept returns of unopened and original sealed macro algae species, as after adding them to your aquarium environment it is out of our control, as the water parameters can be just too different.
