Well at least when I brought from pictureaqustics which came from Hawaii, all I did was float the bag then dropped them in acclimation box for less than a week and they all three doing fine.

I essentially 'cut and dumped'. Temp acclimated and dropped them in. Didn't check his salinity, mine was 1.025.
Not necessarily your fault or his. The whole shipping process is pretty stressful on fish, some handle it better than others. Usually it all works itself out in the law of averages, it just could be you are getting your bad statistics out of the way.

Yes acclimation box with pcv. Man is this a sign for me to give it up? That's what I'm been doing since my imperator angel died with 2 hrs of drip, so I don't anymore but on the last of the three I drip only a little.

That's bizarre, there's no obvious reason it isn't working.

Everyone think NY aquatic ship quality fish!!! I don't think so, I have order many fish from him ( blotched anthias,masked swallow tail angel, regal, and many other Angels ) most of them come in and die the next day. i have stop order from NY aquatic completely.

Regardless of the experience of others with this seller, it doesn't mean YOU did anything wrong. Honestly, I would probably go for the Diver's Den/Live Aquaria option. Use a 15% off coupon and get a 2 week guarantee. It doesn't mean everything will go perfectly forever, but you have a little peace of mind.
