Secure Payment

One of the significant concerns associated with online shopping is the risk of not finding the desired product or, worse, receiving nothing at all. At Coastal Coral, we prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our customers. To mitigate these concerns, we provide an encrypted payment method and an integrated ShopPay section. This ensures a secure and speedy checkout process without compromising any personal information.

Doa (Dead on arrival) Policies

In the unfortunate event that your coral arrives deceased, we stand by our commitment to your satisfaction. Our Dead On Arrival (DOA) policy ensures that, if your coral does not survive the journey and arrives deceased, picture proof is needed within 24 hours of delivery. We will promptly offer you in-store credit. This credit can be used to purchase the same coral or an coral of equivalent value.

Packaging

At Coastal Coral, we acknowledge that shipping coral can be a source of stress for both the buyer and the shipper, as well as for the coral itself. In order to provide peace of mind for both the coral and our valued customers, we take extra measures when packaging our coral shipments. We carefully consider the weather conditions and distance, and include heating or cooling packs to ensure optimal conditions during transit. Additionally, we use plastic containers that are securely sealed, avoiding the use of plastic bags that may pose the risk of rupturing .

Shipping

We employ overnight air shipping for coral to minimize stress during transit. This method ensures that the coral avoids prolonged exposure to darkness, improper temperature control, suboptimal water flow, and imbalances in mineral content. Our commitment to these conditions promotes the overall well-being of the coral.

  • Flat Rate Shipping of $50
  • Free Shipping on orders of $350+

Tracking

Once your coral ships, we'll promptly provide tracking details via email. This ensures you're kept in the loop about your shipment's progress for a safe, timely delivery. Our aim is to minimize the time your coral spends packaged, prioritizing its well-being upon arrival.
