How a standing order works
A standing order takes the repeat buying out of your week. You tell us a count and whether you want shrimp every week or every other week. We quote a price, lock that price for an agreed term, and ship on the same weekday each cycle from New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
This is the right fit for pet stores and fish shops that restock a feeder tank, aquariums and zoos with a feeding program, and labs or classes that need animals on a term schedule.
Weekly or biweekly
Weekly works when you move a consistent count and can receive a box every week. Biweekly works when a larger pack lasts about two weeks, or when staff can meet a shipment only every other week. Both options use our Monday through Wednesday ship window, with Wednesday preferred.
| Cadence | Often a good fit when | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | You use or sell through a pack in about a week | A count and a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday receive day |
| Biweekly | A pack lasts closer to two weeks | A count and an every-other-week ship day |
| One-time listed pack | You are trying us, or demand is uneven | Order a 250, 500 or 1000 count in the shop |
Locked pricing
Listed starting prices, also shown on the wholesale page, are 250 for $223.99, 500 for $448.99 and 1000 for $848.99, down to $0.85 per shrimp, with free expedited shipping. After we quote your standing count, that quoted price is the price you pay for the term we put in writing.
If you later need a different count, we will quote the change rather than silently alter the original price. We do not advertise an unlisted discount on this page.
What we will and will not promise
Live animals are a supply we have to pack and ship in a short weekday window. We will be direct about what we can fill.
- We quote within 24 hours.
- We confirm a start date and a weekday we can meet before the first shipment.
- We lock the quoted price for the agreed term.
- We do not guarantee an open-ended weekly volume at the moment of inquiry.
- If a future week looks tight, we tell you before that ship date so you can plan.
Standing orders and monthly delivery
The shop also offers monthly delivery for 25, 50, 100 or 250 shrimp, billed monthly, with free shipping, which you can pause or cancel. That is a good fit for a single tank or a small fish room. A wholesale standing order is a quoted business arrangement, usually at the larger listed packs, on a weekly or biweekly ship day. If you are not sure which one you need, say so on the form and we will point you to the right path.

Frequently asked questions
What is a standing wholesale order?
It is a repeating shipment of live Palaemonetes paludosus on a weekly or biweekly ship day you choose from our Monday through Wednesday window. Pricing is locked after we accept the quote. It is set up through the wholesale request form, not as a self-serve checkout subscription.
Can you lock pricing?
Yes. Once we quote a count, a cadence and a price, that price stays in place for the term we agree on. Listed starting points are the current 250, 500 and 1000 count shop prices, down to $0.85 each on the 1000 count. Custom counts are quoted.
Can I get a weekly shipment automatically?
Weekly and biweekly cadences are both available, but only after we confirm we can fill them. We do not guarantee a weekly volume at the moment you send the form. If a later week looks tight, we contact you before that ship date.
How is this different from monthly delivery on the shop?
Monthly delivery on the shop is a customer subscription for 25, 50, 100 or 250 shrimp, billed each month, with free shipping. A wholesale standing order is a quoted business shipment, often at the 250, 500 or 1000 count, on a weekly or biweekly schedule, with pricing locked in the quote. Choose the one that matches how you buy.
Which days do standing orders ship?
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Wednesday is preferred so the box has a full week to arrive before the weekend. We pick one of those days with you when the order is set up.
How do I start or pause a standing order?
Send the wholesale request form with your business name, count, weekly or biweekly preference, and a preferred ship day. We quote within 24 hours. To pause, change a count or stop, email hello@ghostshrimpco.com and we will confirm the next ship date that still goes out.
