Weather Shipping Guide

Weather Shipping Guide

Your local temperature matters when ordering live fish — both at your location and at our origin in Lincoln, Nebraska. We make all final calls on shipping safety, but checking your forecast before ordering helps avoid delays and cancellations.

Temperature (your location) Shipping status
Under 25°F Do not order — wait for warmer weather
25 – 32°F Cold weather hold possible — heat pack included
32 – 85°F Safe to ship — USPS Priority Mail
85 – 95°F Hot weather — shipment may be delayed
95 – 100°F Extreme heat — order held until temperatures drop
100°F+ Do not order — wait for cooler weather

Heat packs and cold packs are included at no extra cost when conditions require them. We use 72-hour UniHeat warmers for cold weather shipments.
