YOU MUST CONTACT US WITHIN 14 DAYS from the date of delivery to report damaged or defective merchandise. After the two-week period, the product cannot be reported as damaged and/or returned for exchange or refund.
Do your products have any guarantee?
Yes, we only work with the manufacturers that offer at least a 12-month warranty for all aquariums, excluding accessories. We are confident that the products we supply are of the highest quality and that you will be very pleased with them.
If a product develops a fault within the warranty period, please contact the manufacturer. Please note that misusing your aquarium will void your guarantee and you will not be eligible for a replacement. Make sure to read the product manual before you start using your aquarium.
Do you have a showroom?
No, we do not have a showroom. Our store is 100% online - this allows us to eliminate unnecessary expenses and keep our prices low for our customers.
Where are you located? Can I pick up my order myself?
Our aquariums are shipped from several different warehouses. Please email us at contact@dreamfishtanks.com for information on a particular product. Make sure to include a complete name of the product and the state where you are located.
Do you charge sales tax?
Sales tax only applies to customers living in California.
