F.A.Q

WHERE DO WE SHIP TO?

We ship to all states in the USA, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, and all provinces in Canada.

 

Note: Hawaiian customers must obtain an import permit before placing an order. Please email us for instructions on how to obtain a temporary import license. We heard from previous customer experiences that it’s a relatively fast and easy process.

WHERE'S MY ORDER?

Orders ship Mondays-Wednesday. We also require two days to fasten Bettas to avoid water contamination.

 

Preorders may take up to a month to arrive at our location and are held for an extra week for inspection. So if it’s been over a month since you’ve received an update, please get in touch with us with your order number, and someone will get back to you shortly.

 

 * During extreme weather conditions, orders may be postponed for a later date when weather conditions improve *

HOW PREORDERS WORK?

We receive shipments from Thailand/Indonesia every four weeks. You may receive your Betta(s) sooner, depending on when you place your order.

 

Any Bettas that may arrive DOA to our location, sick or not up to our standards, will be fully refunded or exchanged for one you approve.

 

For updates on your orders, feel free to send us a message or email at support@bettasandart.com

PICKING UP MY ORDER

During checkout, you may select local pickup as a shipping option, and someone will get in touch to schedule a day and time to pick up your order.

 

Remember that we don’t have a storefront, so appointments are required to ensure your order is ready for pick up, and someone will be available to meet you outside.

BETTA REFUSES TO EAT

Recent imported Bettas may have difficulty transitioning from eating live foods to solid foods, but there are ways in which you can help them.

 

  1. If you notice your Betta eating solids and spitting them out, it is usually a sign that your Betta is attempting to break down their food for easier digestion and eating it after. You may also want to soak their food in water before feeding, and for frozen foods, you may want it to be at room temperature. They may also not like the quality of the food/brand provided.

 

  1. You can add Garlic Juice by Seachem to dry food for added flavor. This will help trigger their appetite.

 

  1. Creating a “buffet” of different food brands by combining pellets, flakes, blood worms, etc., will help them get introduced to new foods.

 

  1. If it’s been over seven days since your Betta ate, you may scramble an egg in water, add salt for taste, and let it cool down before feeding it to your Betta in small amounts. I repeat, in small amounts, as any leftover will cause the water to become foul quickly. Or you can also buy some live food from us HERE.

Lastly, there’s no reason to be concerned as long as your Betta shows no signs of distress, clamped fins, and/or lethargy. 

WHY DOA'S ARE NOT COVERED WITH USPS PRIORITY STANDARD MAIL?

USPS Priority is a non-guaranteed service, and delivery times provided by USPS are only estimates. Packages scheduled for 2-3 days may arrive a week later. On rare occasions, we’ve seen delays of up to 10 days.

 

Heat packs expire, and temperatures may vary drastically from day to day.
