Remote WA Live Fish Shipping Quote
For customers in remote WA (Pilbara, Kimberley, far north WA stations and off-network postcodes), live fish ship by air freight from Perth airport to your nearest regional airport. You collect from the airport cargo terminal within 24 hours of arrival.
How it works

- We'll reply within 24 hours with the airfreight cost, your nearest regional airport, and confirmation that we can deliver to that route.
- If you accept the quote, we'll send an invoice and ship Tuesday or Wednesday. We'll email you tracking and airport collection instructions.
- Collect from the airport cargo terminal within 24 hours of arrival. Bring photo ID and your order confirmation.
Typical airfreight cost ranges $90 to $150 depending on destination and box size.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I check out directly?
Airfreight rates vary by destination and box size. Fixed checkout pricing would either overcharge most customers or lose money on far destinations. We quote each remote order accurately so you pay actual cost plus a small handling fee.
How long does delivery take?
Once shipped, fish arrive at your nearest airport within 2 to 6 hours via direct flight from Perth. We dispatch Tuesday or Wednesday only, so plan accordingly.
What if I can't collect within 24 hours?
You must collect within 24 hours; cargo terminals don't have aquarium-grade holding. If you can't collect, we recommend arranging a friend or family member to collect on your behalf, or holding off until you can.
Is the live arrival guarantee the same?
Our guarantee covers fish until the airport cargo terminal arrival. After you collect, the fish is in your care. If a fish is dead on arrival at the airport (verifiable by the cargo terminal staff), we'll replace or refund.
Can I pay for door to door courier instead of airport pickup?
For most remote WA, standard parcel courier takes 2 to 4 days, which is too long for fish. If your postcode is on our regional express network, checkout will offer the $65 flat overnight rate instead of this quote process. For genuinely off-network areas, airfreight airport to airport is faster, more reliable, and ultimately cheaper for live animals.
