Where all pets are V.I.P.'s

(Very Important Pets)

Please take the time to read our terms and conditions  on the T's and C's  page that form the basis of any transaction between us and you, the customer.

Payment taken over the telephone prior to collection/delivery, for customer ease of use and quickness. 

Mastercard, Visa, Electron, Solo, Delta, Maestro, JCB. We do not take Amex or American Express.

We are Julia & Mike aka, JM Livefish & Aquaria Couriers Ltd, (JM Couriers for short!) a family run business transporting your fish, reptiles, small animals, other exptics, birds, poultry and related accessories and equipment.

Included in the business are some of our Sons and Daughters, Carrie, Hazel, Lauren, Grace, Leslie and Lee, who sometimes come as co-pilots or answer the telephone and emails while we are out delivering.

We have two snake and reptile experts, who we call on for advice to make sure the reptiles we carry have the best transport for their particular requirements.

We are not the most expensive and we are probably not the cheapest but what price would you put on your animals safety, care and stress free travel arrangements, especially as the live goods we carry, often run into thousands of pounds.

We know that most Hobbyists prefer collection only but in some cases people miss out on great deals, because either the live goods are too far away, too expensive to risk sending via normal courier, or the tanks/Viv's/ & related equipment is too big, to fit in the boot of a car. 

We are mainly a multi drop company who aim to deliver fish the same day in most cases. Other animal species are collected and delivered Sameday if possible, or within 12 - 48 hours of collection. 

Point to point can be arranged with as little as 48 hours notice. Please read the Point 2 Point section, if you are interested in this service.  

Any animals that spend the night with us in the vans are checked for comfort and any needing warmth, have it provided. Fresh water and food are always available. If animals are in the van overnight, so are we. Their safety, comfort and security are our main priority. They are never left unattended in the vans when stopping at services. One person goes in to get a cuppa, the other checks the livestock.

Our aim is to become the best at what we do, collecting & delivering your pets and associated equipment such as filters, light units, vivariums, tanks etc and we take as much care and consideration with them, as if it were yourselves doing the collecting. We have a DEFRA Type 2 licence to carry live goods over 8 hours by land, rail or sea, which can be seen on demand as we have to carry it in the vans at all times. 

Amongst the various live animals we have carried has been: 

Assorted species of fish from Tropicals - Marines, (including £5000 of live coral) - coldwater, tank & contents relocation.

Koi  & relocation from pond to pond.

We seem to recieve enquiries for more and more exotic species everyday!

We have all the necessary insurances needed, including goods in transit for carrying live goods, public liability and transporting glass. Removals insurance was an optional extra, so we can help place a tank, viv, or equipment in situ, rather than just leaving it at your door, as a normal courier would have to.

We will endeavour to keep all of our customers happy and satisfied, with a professional, friendly, affordable, more personal service.

Please take a look on the Delivery Schedule section, where i have a daily/weekly schedule of delivery areas. It helps us to help you, if we can co-ordinate deliveries to certain areas on certain days. You might have to wait a day or two until we are in your area but for a specialized, service with a friendly smile, we will always try our best to accomodate your wishes.

Enquiries always welcome, including weekends. Please use the email or telephone option, in the contact us section, where you will also find office hours.

We look forward to hearing from you.
