*Please read this Crabs USA policy before ordering live blue crabs. Live crab orders are packed with the freshest live crabs caught the day that they are shipped. Live crabs are extremely perishable and may die during shipping. For safety reasons, we recommend ordering steamed crabs. Live crabs that die during shipping are not guaranteed, and we cannot offer refund. If you receive a greater than 15% mortality rate, you may qualify for a store credit to be used with a future order. If you suspect a high death rate, please call us within 24 hours of receipt without discarding the crabs. Be ready to provide customer service with a count of both live crabs and dead crabs. If the crabs show any movement at all, then they are alive and are good to cook and eat. By purchasing live hard crabs, you agree that you have read and accept this policy and understand all inherited risks. Live crabs are shipped FedEx Next Day service. All crabs are male unless otherwise noted.
