I purchased the Ecosphere for a Christmas gift. The recipient loved it! It is a very interesting, unique present to give someone. It is educational, low maintenance to care for, and long-lasting. I highly recommend it!
A: Hello! Ecospheres can be shipped to Alaska. However, because they are alive, the shipping times can be delayed and shifted based on the weather of the destination. If the weather in Alaska is inclement, it is possible that Ecosphere orders may be placed on hold until the weather clears. Have a great day!
Q: Hi, I was just wondering when I will recieve the ecosphere. Right next to the picture it says ecospheres ship via next day air, but further down it says allow 5-7 business days. My dad's birthday is in 2 days, so I'm curious. Thanks.
A: Hey Brandie,
It takes the warehouse a few days to prepare the ecosphere's for shipment but they all ship via Next Day Air to prevent the shimp from dieing in transit. Let me know if we can help with anything else and if you call 800-251-3638 we may be able to get it shipped to you in time but we will have to speak with the warehouse to make sure. Have a great day!
Q: My ecosphere is still living after 12 years. Does anyone know how long they CAN live?
A: Hello,
Eco-Sphere noted to us that the oldest they've had a customer record keeping a sphere alive was up to 18 years. When asked about specific life spans, it is really hard to say. According to Eco, the shrimp have the ability to survive up to seven years but results can vary. There is no exact science to how long they can survive but the technology used in these self-sustaining products and the life span of your particular sphere goes to show the products really are worth the investment. We hope you continue to enjoy your product!
