Skittle Mix colour Cherry Shrimp

I purchase the skittle mix of Cherry Shrimp - I received 12 shrimp of varying colours, all of which were much more vibrant in colour than any shrimp I have purchased from other stores. All shrimp were alive and well when delivered and have acclimatised well to my tank after following the instructions provided by Shrimp Corner UK. Excellent product and wonderful customer service - I will definitely be purchasing more shrimp from them soon.

Nice shrimp just a little dissapointed in customer service response

I ordered 10 sunkist orange shrimp. There beautiful and a good size. However two had the parasite vorticella. I have hopefully cured this but it was upsetting. I would be wary to order again. The company offered me a refund if I paid to return them,this wasn't fair I thought.

HI Mark ! The way how we pack and post our orders is that we catch every single shrimp of each order, into a hanging box. And then we inspect every shrimp under spot light, then we always take photos of them with customer's invoice so we know what we have picked and sent. We have attached the photos of the exact 10+1 shrimp that we picked and packed for you.

You received the order on the 11th December, and on the 14th of December you messaged us for some blue bolt, and when we replied that we only have the extreme grade at the moment and obviously they are not cheap price comparing to normal blue bolt. You did not say anything else after that, until the 15th December - you sent us a message saying that ONE out of ELEVEN shrimp has vorticella, WITHOUT ANY PHOTOS as proof. Bear in mind, these Vorticella is not a hidden problem, it will be visible right from day one - not 4 days later.

However we still take your words for it and did not ask for any proof or photos, and we've offered you a FULL REFUND if you can return them to us. Not sure what else can we do.

Happy, healthy shrimp. Great company.

It was my first time ordering from Shrimp Corner UK and I couldn’t be happier.

I ordered six Santa Super Crystal Red Caridina and six Yellow/Golden Galaxy/Fishbone Caridina. I ordered late on October 12th (a Sunday) and they arrived on the 14th. They were well packed and all arrived super healthy (with an extra shrimp too). They were a little dull on arrival but this is completely normal.

I took around 4 hours drip acclimating the shrimp before introducing them to their new home. They all seem really active and happy. Within 10 minutes of introducing them to their tank they had all coloured up vibrantly (I’m honestly surprised at how quickly they brightened up).

I also ordered some of their own brand shrimp protein food which they, and the other shrimp I have, seem to love too.
Included in the order was an adorable 3-D printed shrimp keyring (it’s honestly so cute).

Overall it’s been a really positive experience and I’m sure I’ll be ordering from them again in the future :)

Decent service order arrived quickly…

Decent service order arrived quickly only downside is didn’t get a proper tracking number to make sure someone was home to receive although I don’t think they were sat there long as the Mrs was on school run as I arrived home to my parcel some beautiful looking shrimp really happy

Hi Dean ! Thank you for your feedback. No tracking number is because when you placed an order, you didn't put down any mobile number therefore Royal Mail couldn't send you a text with the tracking details. We use automatic system linked with Royal Mail to handle all the labels, and emails with order updates sending out at every stage. On the other hand, even with tracking number, and with Tracked 24 service chosen, you will not be able to tell what time the parcel would be arriving anyway. But we will look into fixing our email where it would be including the tracking number, rather than relying on Royal Mail.

Customer Service at its very best

Customer Service at its very best, my second order of shrimp, all top quality, well packaged and delivered safely. I was even given extra shrimp as the postage charge for a Saturday was high, something they didn't have to do. Cant recommend enough, will definitely remain my go to for the future. Keep doing what your doing and have a great Xmas!
