Why does shipping take time for Aqua² Lab products?

Aqua² Lab is dedicated to providing the finest planted aquarium products and starter kits, designed to transform your aquatic space into a breathtaking natural wonder. We focus on crafting quality glass aquariums and ensuring your planted aquarium experience is nothing short of spectacular.

Unlike large-scale e-commerce operations, we prioritize individual attention and quality over mass production. Our glass aquariums and starter kits are meticulously prepared and assembled upon receiving your order. This ensures that you receive the freshest and most carefully crafted products. As a result, it may take up to 4-5 days to ship your order.

In case a particular product is temporarily out of stock, our team strives to restock it within 5-7 days. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work diligently to fulfill your orders as swiftly as possible.

Why are Aqua² Lab's glass aquariums and kits priced the way they are?

Crafting exquisite glass aquariums and assembling specialized kits is a labor-intensive process that demands time, dedication, and craftsmanship. Each glass aquarium is hand-assembled with meticulous attention to detail. By investing in Aqua² Lab's products, you not only receive a unique and exceptional piece but also support skilled artisans in earning their livelihood while promoting the art of aquascaping.

How do I track my order from Aqua² Lab?

Once your order is meticulously prepared and picked up by our trusted delivery partners (which currently takes 10-15 days, as mentioned above), you will receive an email notification from our shipping partner, providing you with a tracking number and order details. Please keep an eye on your inbox for this email.
