AquariumCreationsOnline.com makes sure all our live rock is delivered in the same condition we shipped it out. We do this by making sure all rock shipments are packaged with plenty of cushioning between pieces and saturated with saltwater prior to tightly sealing the water tight containers. The freight will cost us more, (because of the water and packaging weight), but the liverock will ship in great condition. Yes, we may pay a little more for the shipping cost, but isn't it a small price to pay for receiving live rock in the best possible condition! |
