My Gem Tang Is Watching You
I know Fed Ex, and I would have to assume that UPS will be the same, are under the priority businesses to stay open. What they really want is to not have a group of people be in the same place, thus people are allowed to go to work, you may just have a hard time actually going to the LFS and shop. The LFS's that have a online presence will still be able to ship, they just can't open the stores to the general public, if I am reading the stay at home order correctly.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. I would assume shipping to home will get disrupted at some point.
My UPS driver is too busy now, to deliver Air packages. They have an additional driver in my area just for that.

I live in the Memphis area, I can only tell you that the FEDEX pilots I spoke stated that they are still flying around the world, including countries under QT.

Yep. Received an email from SalwaterAquarium that PA has deemed them an essential business and that they will remain open and ship. Placed an order with them on Friday.

Yea same as all the local pet stores. They supply needed goods to support life (your pets/fish) so they are all good.

Just bumping this wondering if anyone has done any overnight coral orders this week and received on time.
I put a dry goods order to Chewy last Wednesday and received it today. It took a week which usually takes a couple of days to me.

It looks like they have waived signatures for delivery even to businesses. I assume this is to prevent clogging distribution centers with undeliverable packages. It will help get deliverable packages to people in need. I personally would expect delays though so probably not a good idea to ship livestock right now.

We are still shipping and operating as usual as of 3-26-2020. Specialty pet foods which are not typically found in the grocery store fall into the "essential business" category. We are in daily communications with our Fed Ex rep to assess the situation for food delivery to the LFS, public aquariums and aquaculture facilities we service. For the first time in 8 years we actually ran out of our flagship Reef Frenzy® blend and had backorders into the hundreds of packs this week. LFS are reporting 3-4X the normal amount of frozen food sales over the past two weeks. We've had some stores place orders on Monday and then again on Wednesday so it's been a little hectic around here. We basically blew through a months worth of reserve inventory in a week. We are working OT, including weekends until everything returns to normal.
Our suppliers have assured us that our supply chain of ingredients will remain uninterrupted so we intend to maintain production and shipping until we are mandated not to. Thank you for the support and stay safe out there.
