SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL STORES…

The official Aquascape online store is owned by Aquascape, Inc ("Aquascape", "company", "we", "us", or "our"). As part of our effort to support our retailer network we try and fulfill your Aquascape purchase from the nearest retailer to your delivery location. Some of the email communication you receive during your shopping experience with Aquascape will be generated by Quivers (visit www.quivers.com or email [email protected]). They are our website partner and their software enables us to support your local stores, by allowing them to fulfill orders.

SHIPPING POLICY

While we make every effort possible to deliver goods within the estimated time frame, delays are occasionally inevitable due to holiday delivery schedules, inclement weather, unforeseen circumstances and busy periods. Aquascape, Inc. and our fulfillment partners shall not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver the goods within the estimated timescale. Risk of loss and damages passes to you once the goods are delivered to you or are left with a person or place nominated by you.

Aquascape uses multiple shipping rules to determine shipping and handling charges. When you check out, you can view the shipping and handling charges for your order. In the rare case that shipping and handling charges exceed the amount shown, we will notify you. You will also be notified of your estimated delivery date after your order is shipped.


Oversized Items

Oversized items are products considered bulky; heavy when packaged; or are shipped on a wooden pallet, regardless of weight. Additional shipping fees may apply to these items to cover the expense of shipping.

Shop with Confidence

We accept payments with all major credit cards.

The billing address you provide must match the billing address that is on file with the financial institution that issued the credit card. If a credit card authorization fails, we reserve the right to cancel your order without notifying you.

Upon placing your order your credit card will be pre authorized. Your credit card will only be charged when your purchase has shipped.

We cannot resolve credit card problems with your financial institution if a credit card is declined. It is your responsibility, as a consumer, to settle credit card problems with the issuing institution.


SALES TAX

To help provide a total cost inclusive of tax, we will estimate the applicable sales tax based on the delivery address entered at checkout. The estimated tax amount displayed may be updated when your order is finalized and completed.

For U.S. shipping addresses, the estimated sales tax will be applied to your order if it is shipped from the same U.S. state as the delivery address, or if the fulfillment partner has determined a legal obligation to collect sales tax for such purchases. In states where sales tax is not collected, estimated tax displayed during checkout will be discounted from the order.

For Canadian shipping addresses, estimated sales tax will be applied to your order based on the laws and regulations of the fulfillment partner's local authority and the shipping address.


ORDER CANCELLATION

Cancellations can be made by calling (866) 877-6637 or filling out our contact request form.

Most orders begin processing shortly after being placed. Once the order is processed for shipment, a successful cancellation may not be possible. If we are unable to stop the shipment, you will need to await delivery of the order and initiate a return for the product. See our Return Policy for further details.
