Toll Priority Door To Door Overnight Service
Toll Priority is an excellent choice for shipping live fish due to its speed and reliability. This service ensures that your fish spend minimal time in transit, reducing stress and promoting their well-being.
Important Note: While this service is fast and reliable, it does not include Dead On Arrival coverage. Customers choosing this option need to accept the risk associated with transporting live fish. Unfortunately, we cannot provide compensation for fish that arrive dead or sick due to transport delays.

Don’t live in NSW? No problem! Our Air Freight shipping option delivers your live fish to you interstate. This option offers Dead On Arrival coverage, providing you with peace of mind and assurance of fish health upon arrival.
How Does It Work?
Delivery Costs
Once your order is confirmed, we will call you to confirm airport details and costs.
Payment Confirmation
Once we receive your payment, we will provide you with the details for collecting your shipment, including the airport location, AirWayBill (AWB) number, flight number, and estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Pickup Arrangement
We will coordinate with you to schedule a suitable pickup time at your nearest airport.
Collect Your Fish
Use the provided AWB number to collect your fish at the designated airport or distribution centre.
Please ensure you are available to pick up your delivery at the specified time to guarantee the safe arrival of your fish.
Important Note: For customers in Perth, Hobart, Darwin, and Launceston, you must have the appropriate permits and arrange for a quarantine officer to inspect the parcel upon arrival. All related fees are the responsibility of the customer.
Safe & Secure Packaging
OZ Discus are highly experienced in air-freighting live fish, and we ensure that your fish arrive in perfect condition through our meticulous packaging process.
Expert Packaging
All fish are placed in high-quality bags with medical-grade oxygen, ensuring they have the best environment during transit.
Insulated Protection
We use insulted foam boxes that comply with air safety regulations, providing protection against temperature changes.
Temperature Control
Special heat packs are included during winter months to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature for your fish.
With our safe and secure packaging, you can be confident that we prioritise the health and safety of your aquatic friends throughout their journey.
In the unlikely event that your fish arrive dead, we offer Dead On Arrival coverage for Air Freight deliveries. This means that we will replace the fish at no additional cost. However, customers are responsible for the shipping costs of the replacement, as freight is an external third-party cost.
