I am wondering is it worth buying a coral if it is going to be 2 day shipped or no.

I wouldn't do it in the winter for sure, and maybe not in the summer either (for SPS anyway).

Less of an issue for softies, but still, I wouldn't risk it for anything pricey. I don't think heat packs work well beyond about 24 to 36 hours.

Between how unreliable shippers have been and changing cold temperatures- Expect the worse. I know there are shippers using heat packs, etc but Overnight is crucial right now.
Two day has become 3 day the last few months- Not just Xmas

It's not worth it for any coral right now. I won't even sell to my customers due to the shipping and weather lately. Many others I know are doing the same. I would hold out for a more reliable climate altogether.
