How We Calculate Sales Tax

By law, we must collect applicable sales tax for orders shipping to states where we have a retail or warehouse location. We currently only have them located in Washington state. In states in which we do not have a physical presence, we may be required to charge applicable state and local sales tax on orders shipped if required to do so under state and/or local tax laws.

The actual taxes charged to your credit card will be calculated based on the applicable state and local sales taxes when your order is shipped. The terms contained herein are subject to change, as the taxation of online transactions is continually evolving. Aquarium Co-Op strives to comply with state and local tax laws as they exist currently, and continues to monitor and update its taxation policies as those laws change.

States & U.S. Territory Where We Currently Collect Sales Tax
Orders shipped to AK*, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO**, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI or WY will have all applicable local and state sales taxes added to your total order, and to your shipping charges where appropriate.

*Sales Tax Collection in Alaska
As cities within Alaska update their sales tax laws and ordinances to adopt the Remote Seller Sales Tax Code established by the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission, Aquarium Co-Op, as a remote seller, may be required to collect sales tax on transactions with destination addresses within these cities. Please visit the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission website for more information and to learn about which cities in Alaska are participating.

**Sales Tax Collection in Colorado
Effective July 1, 2022, Colorado imposes a retail delivery fee. The retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the sales or use tax on the tangible personal property sold and delivered, including delivery by a third party, is liable to collect and remit the retail delivery fee. Please visit the Colorado Department of Revenue for more information.

States Where We Do Not Collect Sales Tax
Aquarium Co-Op does not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase may be subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to report these taxes may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

Gift Cards
Sales tax does not apply to purchases of Gift Cards. However, products purchased with Gift Cards will be charged sales tax if applicable.

Always wonderful. The site is easy to use (a little too easy).

good

Great product perfect for my betta tank. doesn’t take ip much room, quiet and easy to assemble.

Had one plant not make the journey. Customer service was excellent and refunded immediately. Great company

I love shopping at aquarium co-op online! It was easy to navigate for someone coming into the hobby. Lots of great products with good descriptions to help me find what I need.

Aquarium Co-op is best in class with great selection, service and super fast delivery. Spend enough to get a free shirt as they’re great too!!!

I love Aquarium Co-op products!!! This is the best place for me in this hobby.

Aquarium Coop quality has been consistently good since they started, and still improving every purchase. Good for beginners and experienced hobbyists.

Aquarium Co-Op was my number one source for all things aquatic before I ever had a tank. The blog and YouTube channel were paramount to my research. When the time came to set up my kid's 30 gallon and then my own 75 gallon- Aquarium Co-Op was my first stop. I was able to get everything online that I needed (except the tank) and I've had phenomenal success with both tanks. I run their easy flow sponge filters and use several of their filter media options in my canister. I also use their magic feed food and easy green fertilizer. I swear by the measuring jar (looks like a glass you'd take a swig of your favorite fermented drink)- and I also love the dual ended scoop. Everything is easy to find on the website and their customer service is top notch!

I recommend it

Plants were packaged so nicely and suffered no melt in my tank. I was worried because it’s a long trip to WA state but everything arrived in good condition.

Great company. Just change main shipping company. Amazon is not keeping up with their volume as they grow..

Everything came healthy and well wrapped

You guys are great!! Not a fan of you using Amazon Delivery Service only complaint..

Ordered an Anubsis Berberi. It was beautiful, packaged well and great condition.

Love ACO

Products were great and you guys took care of me really quickly. I will always purchase here for things I need.

Perfect experience. I got everything I ordered so fast.

A no-brainer for any fishkeeper.

I really like the expanded space, shopping was a pleasure. Everyone was helpful and there was adequate staff. I liked it.

I love how you offer so many wonderful products and at a reasonable price. Everything I ordered is as expected. Except one thing, I did get snails on a plant. I ordered three different Anubias plants and at least one had snail eggs becuase now every few days I am pulling a snail or two out of my community 30 gallon tank lol! Not the best thing but oh well. Other than that I am very happy. I already have PLENTY of snails though becuase of my pond having loads of Ramshorn snails. We aquired those from plants at Poor Boys. Now we have so many but it's not a bad thing they keep the walls and things cleaner. As long as we keep the population from getting out of control. I do not want them in my tank though and have to pull them out when I find them so they don't mate in there and lay eggs which they can do at a surprisingly young age!

My air pump from here is wonderfull! It's the dual outlet battery backup version which is amazing. Great air flow and adjustable, it's nice.

The plants seem healthy and are doing great! I wish you sold more heaters and Inkbird thermometer shut offs. A must have if you use a heater, to be on the safe side and not sorry.

I would recommend Aquarium Co-Op to averyone!

Thank you!

The CO - OP is always great . So many things you need and shipping is always quick . Everything well packaged.

Simply the best. Better than all the rest...

Best group, ever!

I really like Aquarium co-op generally, but will not be buying plants from them anymore. I purchased a batch of 9 plants including this Lindernia Rotundifolia 'Watermelon' plant that was advertised.

Ordered over the weekend, shipped the Monday and did not arrive until the next Monday. To be fair to Aquarium Co-op, the plants were packed very well, but almost all the plants were melted. Only the java ferns were alright.

I sent pictures and was told that the rest of the plants would be alright and to put the bulb in the tank. I didn't buy a bald bulb. I was issued a partial refund. about half.

Now a week later, all the watermelon plants are all melted and dead in my tanks, the Red Dwarf Aquarium Lily Bulb is still dead/bald. Only 3 plants of the 9 I ordered are alive. All 5 of the Lindernia Rotundifolia 'Watermelon' are dead.

Aqaurium Co-op needs to rethink shipping with Amazon. It doesn't take Amazon 1 week to deliver any of their items.

Aquarium Co op as usual came through again. Been a loyal customer for years. My nephew is setting up his first tank. I introduced him to aquarium Co op.
Highly recommend shopping here .

This is my go to place for aquarium shopping. I only go to other stores for supplies they don't sell. I know from watching all the videos and live streams how much research and care goes into their products. A true rarity in this day and age.
And if there is an issue, their customer service is top notch. They will take care of you.

After placing a decent number of orders and following the youtube channel, i can tell that all of the products are genuine and they truly care about the products they sell and the customers that they sell to. They take feedback seriously and have great customer service.

I have ordered from the COOP multiple times in the past when the warehouse was back in the northwest. Since moving warehouse shipping seems quite a bit slower taking normally 1 week+. I have ordered plants from them and they didn't arrive in a good shape. There was no insulation when the temp was hot outside. Don't know if it was an oversight or how they ship plants now. I will most likely only order plants when the temperature is mild moving forward.

Love ordering from the co-op great products at a great value rarely does anything go wrong but I know if it does customer service will cover it

Amazing products

Always quick and efficient and well packaged.

Orders arrive on time and without issue.

Easy install, works great

Excellent customer service stands by everything they
sell

I'm a very frequent shopper here on the Aquarium Co-op online store. Their plant selection keeps me coming back every month. Let alone the fertilizer, the fish food, and supplies! I've been supporting them for years now and don't plan on changing that!

Trusted and recommended!

I love Aquarium Co-op products!!

I placed an order Friday late morning and it arrived Sunday afternoon! That was their free shipping option. I wasn't expecting to receive the order until Tuesday maybe Wednesday. Not with the Co-Op! Box was perfect as always.

All-in-al, my experience has been excellent. The co-op is one of the best online aquatic stores. Good descriptions aid in product selection. Easy to navigate website design with great images. Highly recommended.

This year my American Val I bought 3 years ago from ACO bloomed🥳

My ACO sponge filters are still going strong.

It's wonderful to be able to support a business that is locally owned, takes care of it's employees as well as they take care of their customers, and invests in the community. Cory's Livestreams are a Master Class in how to build a healthier business, practice sustainability, and not abandon your ethics in the pursuit of profit.

As someone who is lower income and disabled, it is very helpful to have the free shipping option as long as I wait to order until my order is large enough to trigger the free shipping.

Shipping time from the KY warehouse has continued to be as ideal as shipping several years ago from WA, and the tracking information is incredibly helpful! Only one issue with any products since 2021, and Candi (customer service) got it fixed ASAP.

Are the prices a little higher than other competitors?

Sometimes.

However, the quality has consistently been infinitely better and worth the slightly higher prices. Discounts for supporting the YouTube channel offset the cost of being a member, even when I only order quarterly.

Keep up the great work!

Shopping with the ACO is always a pleasure. My order is often packed the same day and is shipped very quickly.

I’ve been very satisfied with my online orders. They’ve come on time, had the correct items, and everything has been great so far. I plan to continue using Aquarium Co-op for my aquarium supplies!

Everything I've ordered has come in faster than expected, and very well priced. I always look here first when I need something. As long as I have tanks I'll be a costumer.
