Orders Friday and over the weekend after 2pm MST will ship Monday unless it’s an item that ships our of a 24/7 warehouse. Aquarium supplies orders that are shipped UPS will be delivered Monday through Friday. USPS or FedEx will be delivered Monday through Saturday. We deliver pretty much anywhere in the domestic 48 within three to five business days but this isn’t guaranteed and depends on your zip-code and shipping carrier

At The Coral Life we strive to do things different than the other outlets. We aim to keep things simple and only sell products we currently own or have used prior to now. We are saltwater enthusiasts just like you, So why would we sell you a product we would never buy ourselves? This is more than a business this can be a passion. There’s thousands of online stores, some who are cheaper, who simply try to sell anything and everything under the sun, with no care on the planet of quality in the services or products. Here at our The Coral Life, our eBay store we only sell items we know work and have great value to a consumer. This does a couple of things for us.

• We know the products in and out because, we use them in our reefs/tanks. We will have to have the ability to answer any question you have for us on a product.
• We hardly ever have complaints or returns because we do not sell the low end products with bad reviews that do not work.
• Setting up our store in this manner makes for a better overall experience for our customers.
• So if ever have a complaint please reach out to us before leaving feedback – as most can tell when they get a special treat with there packages 😉 our service is customer minded.
