When shipping a live seafood product dead loss is expected and Chesapeake Crab Connection cannot be held liable for any amount of blue crab mortality, not limited to but including circumstances that are out of our control.

If you insist on every blue crab being edible, we strongly recommend ordering your blue crabs steamed prior to shipment. However, if you insist on live blue crabs, please note that we provide no guarantees on the number of blue crabs that will arrive to your doorstep alive. Their condition upon arrival is not guaranteed, we will do our best to deliver your blue crabs alive! Chesapeake Crab Connection will not refund any monetary amount for dead loss in live shipments.
