Not at home?

If you are not at home, the package will initially be delivered to the neighbors. You will be informed of this by means of a note in your letterbox. If you do not wish this, please state this in the comment field with your order. Are the neighbors not home too? Then the delivery person will offer the package again the next day. You can often also indicate via the carrier's tracking page that the package may be left elsewhere or delivered to a service point. However, these options differ per carrier.

Live livestock delivery conditions

The delivery costs for live animals fluctuate per shipment, depending on the animals ordered, weight and country of delivery. On the delivery date, someone must always be present between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to receive the animals. The time indication is passed on in advance.

The website calculates the rate for a normal shipment, not for an express shipment. An express shipment for animals abroad can often be slightly higher, which costs we will charged afterwards.

With DOA (Dead on arrival) Ocean Store always credits the paid amount of the animal. It is not possible to deliver an animal. In the case of DOA, respond to your order confirmation with a photo of the dead animal in the sealed, delivered packaging immediately after receipt to info@ocean-store.nl .
