***POLICY FOR FROZEN FISH FOODS***

NOTE . . . . THERE IS A MINIMUM ORDER OF 12 LBS. OF FROZEN FISH FOODS. They can be mixed
or all of the same kind. (Less than that is very difficult to keep frozen). Products are shipped in corrugated
boxes with polyfoam liner. We do our best in packaging the frozen fish foods, however, we can not foresee
what will happen to the products once they leave our facility, as a result, understandably . "WE DO NOT
GUARANTEE FROZEN FOODS". What we do guarantee is that the products will leave us in the best
condition that we can offer and that we will do all that we can to see that these products reach you in the
same condition. Catalog numbers that are followed by the letter "F" do not include shipping and packaging.
Frozen foods are shipped separate from other products. The AVERAGE shipping & ice packaging charge
for 12 lbs. of Frozen Fish Food is between $20 & $35 depending on the distance shipped. Due to the fact
that actual shipping and ice packing charges will not be known until the order is boxed and weighed.
There is no C.O.D. Service on frozen fish food orders.
