I've received a lot of shipments from Marine Depot but this is the first time I actually took time to read the email notifying me that my order has shipped:

Good news, KAREN!

Your aquarium supplies have been carefully picked from Marine Depot's shelves like delicate berries and placed into a wicker basket lined with unicorn fur. With the grace of a ballerina, we tiptoed them to our packing station where Santa's Elves—who work with us during their off-season—prepared your order for shipment.

Your products were methodically placed in each box using techniques taught to us by a former Tetris World Champion. Using a pair of tweezers, we placed hundreds of packing peanuts one-by-one into every nook and cranny to ensure safe transport. We are proud to share with you that our packing peanuts are reusable, recyclable, biodegradable and made using 100% recycled content. They also do not trigger peanut allergies. Eat your heart out, Mr. Peanut.

Saying goodbye to such sought-after products is always gut-wrenching. That is why we offer employees unlimited handkerchiefs as a part of our generous benefits package. As your order was whisked away at light speed down our assembly line into the loving arms of the shipping courier, our warehouse elves, with tears in their eyes, joined hands and whispered, "Jábba sô kalîk qonay." We don't speak Elvish ourselves, but they tell us the rough translation is "May these supplies bring stability and success to the aquarium and its owner." Wow, we are getting a little choked up ourselves now. Thanks, elves.

As the delivery truck pulled away from our warehouse dock, a rare double rainbow appeared overhead. That's when we knew the products we had raised since they were mere hatchlings were on their way to a better home. Please take care of them and, we promise, they will take care of you.


With sincere appreciation,

The MarineDepot.com Family

That's funny!

Sounds to me like the person writeing the notice must have `Hit their head `at lunch time,still prety cool though,theres not that much humor in our ole world anymore and getting a shipping notice like that could just make your day.

If you grind and snort them, you too will have grandiose visions very similar to what is being described here. Enjoy yourself, Mr. Peanut.
 
These happen randomly around Christmas elves help and Santa' s sleigh is involved if I remember correctly....always nice to get that over the typical ship notice.
 
I just received the notice this week. Haven't even received the product yet. I save all my receipts in a folder so I checked one out from mid February and it said the same thing. I guess I never took the time to read them before. Too funny!
