Shipping Macroalgae and Coral Across Canada: How We Keep Them Healthy

At The Algae Plug, we know how important it is that your macroalgae and coral arrive healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive in your aquarium. Whether you’re in Ontario, British Columbia, or the Maritimes, we take every step to make sure your order is packed with care and shipped as quickly as possible.

Here’s exactly how we handle shipping across Canada and why you can trust us to deliver:

Fast Overnight Shipping with UPS Express

All of our packages are shipped via UPS Express. Once you place your order, it will leave our facility within 1-2 days, ensuring that your live macroalgae and coral spend as little time in transit as possible.

This fast turnaround helps us maintain the health and quality of your items, no matter where you are located in Canada.

Insulated Packaging for Maximum Protection

We take packaging seriously. Every order is placed inside insulated shipping containers to protect against temperature swings during travel. Inside, your macroalgae is double-bagged to prevent leaks and maintain proper hydration.

Depending on the season, we also include heat packs or ice packs to create the ideal environment during shipping. Our goal is simple: your coral and algae should arrive in the same condition they left - healthy, strong, and beautiful.
