second time now ups has delayed next day air shipping. livestock was supposed to arrive tomorrow now my tracking says Tuesday.... really hoping it's a mistake or something because all of the coral will be dead after 5 days in bags. bummed out also because got a decent amount of frags for a good price.
 
Don't buy corals around the holidays when fruitcakes and flat-screen TVs are bring delivered to every other house

Ups is a crap shoot, I really appreciate vendors that use services like ship my aquatics that send test packages to test the logistics before shipping.
 
Should of held off until January, shipping now is a dumpster fire at best and outright terrible at worse.
going away so had to get stuff in asap. UPS always gives me issues unfortunately. guess I'll just pray the system messed up. otherwise guess I'll be getting a ton of dead coral on Tuesday.
 
I had that happen right before Christmas. Sucks!!
I coordinated three trout egg deliveries the week before Christmas. They were getting shipped Monday fed ex overnight. Surprising they made it from Montana through Memphis to Vermont overnight....and that's where it stopped, one box made it fine to northern Vermont, smaller hub. Another box made it Thursday, eggs were ok, they didn't freeze. Third box apparently was on the truck for delivery, attempted delivery Wednesday, eventually delivered Friday, they were warm and in bad shape.
 
UPS and FedEx have been good in the northeast. USPS is downright awful.


I hope everything gets to you in good shape.
coming from CA to NJ. so if it's not here tomorrow everything will most definitely be dead. but just got word it may be a glitch (from the vendor). so hoping to see some nice frags tomorrow when I get home.
 
sadly most shipping companies can barely handle the holidays, especially when the thing being shipped is alive.
 
Never ship livestock around Black Friday and Christmas, and NEVER ship on Thursday. Most vendors know better.

any update?
it got here. everything looks good except the hammers I ordered. ton of skeleton showing. still some flesh but they look really unhappy. followed up with vendor right away. going to dip shortly and see if I can save them.

call them ASAP and see if you can pick up. Also call shipper to make them aware.
