Live shrimp, bred in Adelaide. Alive when it lands, or we refund.

22 kinds, from $2.90 a shrimp. One foam box, one lot of express post — the same $29.99 whether it holds three shrimp or thirty, and $9.99 once your shrimp come to $149. We bag and post on Mondays and Tuesdays, so your box never sits in a depot over a weekend. If any arrive dead, send us a photo in the unopened bag and we put the money back.

Each picture is an illustration. That means a picture we made to show the colour. It is not a photo of the shrimp in your box. Every card says so. How we make them.

How it works

1. Order any day

Pick your shrimp. Order by Sunday 8pm Adelaide time for Monday's box, or by Monday 8pm for Tuesday's. Later in the week waits for the coming Monday.

2. We pack Monday or Tuesday

A sealed bag filled with oxygen, with a bit of mesh inside for the shrimp to hold on to. Then a foam box. A heat pack when it's cold, a cool gel pack when it's hot.

3. Express to your door

Next day to most capital cities, up to three days to the country. Every shrimp is guaranteed to arrive alive. The guarantee is short and says exactly what it covers.
