Several weeks ago I had 2 boxes coming from Liveaquaria ( Saturday delivery) and they had 2 separate tracking numbers.
Well, one box never made it on the plane in Cali and the other did.
When the UPS driver showed up with the one box, I asked if there was a chance if the other box could get delivered at some point over the weekend because there was a fish in the delayed box as well as coral.
The driver couldn't say one way or the other.
It arrived on the following Monday while I was at work. I didn't get anything acclimated until 3:30 that afternoon.
Side note the mushrooms didn't survive, but the file fish did.
Fast forward to this morning, and the same UPS driver delivered another box from LA .
She asked me if the missing box from 3 weeks back ever arrived. I was surprised at her concern, and memory.
Second thing, this shipment was scheduled to arrive by noon, but was delivered at 9:45.
I asked her why this early and she said that she looks through her deliveries for the day and picks out anything that is marked medicine or livestock and arranges her route so they are delivered as early as possible.
I thanked her for her concern for the previous missing package and for the concern for boxes with live stock.
I usually only read about disasters with shipping.
Now if only Fedex is as prompt with my package coming from Cultivated Reef. ( scheduled delivery by 1:30)
