BETTAS
During shipment Bettas may become stressed, pale, scared and sluggish. As they settle into their new homes, their colors will come back and they will become more active. If you feel, you received a sick Betta or experiencing issues with your order, please do contact us within 24hrs.
DOA: ALL purchases guarantee live arrival. Claims must be submitted within an hour of receipt if shipped directly to your doorstep or by end of the day if order was picked up from a USPS or Fedex office the same day it was available for pickup, including a photo or video of fish inside their original bag unopened.
Upon receipt of photo, we will either refund you for the cost of the Betta (Not including shipping costs) or make arrangements to ship a replacement fish of similar value, size, and variety. Please understand that no two Betta fish are identical. Every effort will be made to find an acceptable replacement.

PREORDERS: Preorders are non-refundable unless Bettas & Art is at fault. Examples: Betta was not received or DOA while in transit. Betta looks different than pictured ( tail biting done during transit from Thailand to our location, different coloration, sick, or undesirable traits, etc…) Keep in mind we are ordering these Bettas for you exclusively and no-one else. We understand unexpected events may occur, in those cases, we will provide store credit equal to the amount received.
OTHER
For all other items, excluding live animals, we have a 30 day money back return policy. Items must be in new and original packaging for a full refund. Shipping charges for returns will be the responsibility of the customer, unless an error was made by Bettas & Art. Refunds will be processed within 2 days of receipt of merchandise and following inspection of return items.
A couple things to remember:
- For the safety of our Bettas, returns of live animals is not allowed.
- Shipping costs are non-refundable.
- During extreme weather conditions, customers are required to pick orders containing live animals in person from their closest Fedex or USPS locations. Make sure to have a valid government ID that matches the name of the recipient in your order. Bettas & Art won’t be held responsible if you are unable to pick your orders due to not having the appropriate documentation. Ex: using aliases instead of your government names, no legal documents, etc.
- Order cancellations containing live animals, must be received two days before your shipment is scheduled for shipment.
- Do not report a DOA when you have failed to acclimate your Betta properly or after it has been removed from its original bag.
- We are not responsible for any tail biting that occurs during transit from our location to yours due to stress, Bettas that won’t eat or breed for you, attack their partner or tank mates, or generally fail to thrive after received.
- Contact us within 24hrs if there are any issues with your order, not days, weeks, or months later.
