Although the courier service is a ‘next day delivery’ service – there may be times when this can take up to 48 hours if there was a delay during transit with the courier service and we accept no responsibility for this.
The Fishbox packaging is an insulated poly box with a dry ice pack which releases cold energy into the Fishbox during transit and is suitable to stay chilled for 48 hours and should be no harm to the Fishbox products.
