Really Bad Attitude and Customer Treatment

Really unprofessional response and customer service. I placed an order on the 17th of Sept and emailed them on the 27th as I had not received an update or email notifying me of the order status, was it being processed, was it not received. Here is my email, "Hi, What's the status on this order?
Kind regards Rory"
Here is their the response I received from them. "I’ve canceled order, if you can read website clearly tells you due to nature of items we can take upto 30 days to obtain."

Just a phone call or email would have suiffced saying, Hi, we don't have the item in stock and we are waiting for it to come in. I would have been fine with that.

I can read and I was aware that it could take up to 30 days, I was merely looking for some feedback as to the status and was happy to wait. If this is their idea of customer centric treatment and behaviour, then I wish them all the best for their very bright future.

Well it's always great

Well it's always great, that's the main reason I use them. I've lost 1 fish in an abundance of orders over time. Always quality, healthy fish and corals, great customer service and communication. It's always hastle free with no drama.

Nice !! 🤙

Great service, had a few issues but they were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

The fish were well packaged and in excellent health. They ate straight away and were loving life within couple of hours of acclimation and currently doing well.

Would definitely recommend, first class live stock and service.

Marine world aquatics are an online coral seller .I contacted them about getting a particular kind of coral that is actually quite rare and they were able to acquire it for me. Coral arrived in good condition & was well packed. There was a slight leak from the outer box but that didn’t matter as the corals were packed in a double bag and then put in an insulating box with heat pack( I think this water had been present during the initial packing of the coral and not due to any leaks) .
Very happy with the corals & the service I received. Communication with their online store was attentive they responded in good time to my request .

Thanks for your review but we have been having temperatures reaching 23-26 in uk.
If heatpack was placed in packaging poor fishes would BOIL,
We having been doing this for along time and I believe I know when heatpack or two is required.

DELIGHTED

I am delighted with my delivery from Marine World Aquatics. I received two dwarf Angelfish and a cleaner wrasse. Great care had been taken with packaging them, each double bagged and then a wide plastic support band also added to each. These fish are very good size and more importantly in great condition. It's 48 hours on now and they are all thriving in their new surroundings.
Paul the owner kindly confirmed by telephone my requested delivery date. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for marine livestock. I shall definitely be using again.
