Air Cargo (our recommended shipping option during the holidays) is a popular shipping option for fish keepers. Essentially, we ship via the extra unbooked cargo space on passenger airplanes. Transit times are as long as it takes a plane to fly from Los Angeles to wherever you are (plus 2 hours at the destination airport to transport packages from the plane to the cargo facility)!


There are pros and cons for this type of shipping.


Pros

  • Same day delivery!
  • Bigger box allows for more water and oxygen!
  • Any Overnight Packages can upgrade to Air Cargo for FREE!
  • Less facilities provides a safer trip for your fish! This results in a lower chance of mishandled or dropped packages because of the fewer number of people moving packages.
  • Your fish will thank you!

Cons

  • You must go to the airport to pick up your package.
  • Please note: you don’t actually enter the airport in most cases. There is usually a cargo facility in a commercial building near the airport that the airlines distribute packages out of.
