ALL SHIPPING FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE

Prism Bettas uses the Shopify shipping manager which is managed by a third party insurance company and cannot go through UPS for shipping refunds. The third party company DOES NOT give refunds for delayed or mishandled packages for UPS for live animals. Prism Bettas has argued with the third party insurance agency that controls the refunds with no resolution. As such there are no shipping refunds for delayed packages. Shipping credits through Prism Bettas e-cards are issued on a case by case basis for UPS only.
