World Wide Corals Live Sale shipment...

[JBKReef]

I've been a huge fan of @WWC since starting the hobby. They do a great job of marketing, keeping in touch with the consumer, and in my experience have always worked towards doing whats right for you.

In the past I have had a 3 month coral subscription, two live sales, and three or four Ebay auctions I've taken part in. The corals are expertly packed and without a doubt look exactly like their photos.

I'm currently awaiting the corals from my last Live Sale, the Tax Day sale back in February. Will share some unboxing photos once they arrive.

Coral QT is anxiously awaiting the haul.

Happy Reefing everyone!

Well we've surpassed the 10:30 - 12:00 EST delivery time. If I'm following the FedEd updates correctly the package was in Memphis at 06:12 AM EST. If the package came straight to my door from the Memphis site it would take approx 7 hours so new estimated delivery would be roughly 13:30 EST I believe.

Well that was a bust... Spoke to @WWC looks like FedEx had massive delays in Memphis and my 22 corals are not going to make it till tomorrow.

Hopefully they will handle to travel delay well.

Luckily there arent freezing temps all over, hoping they make it all safe!

Here's hoping. I assume corals ship international multiple days all the time, just fingers crossed nothing else happens.

Yup looks like temp is 70 degrees in Memphis. If anything hopefully the heater pack will maintain the temp. I had a couple acropora and a handful of other SPS but most of the order was LPS and zoas so fingers crossed they hang on.

My first order from WWC is in the same boat. I was mashing F5 on the fedex tracking page all morning.

Hang in there crew! Not pictured is a CuC package (trochus, nassarius, and emerald crabs) and the three frag pack of Birdsnests.

Nail biting here. Such nice pieces.

Crossing fingers for both of us Some sweet stuff in there. Was going do a small order first but based on all the positive feedback I hear certainly more orders in the future.

Day2: Coral Boogaloo

Package has made it to a local FedEx warehouse. Was told I would get first shipment of the day by FedEx corporate. First delivery is between 8AM and 10:30AM, well the package still says sitting in my local shop not out for delivery.

I've called to see if I can just go pick up the package and not have to wait for their delivery. @smellytunic what the latest on your order?

 

[smellytunic]

Similar situation here. Made it to local facility this morning but does show as out for delivery.

 

[smellytunic]

Shipment arrived!!! Corals all look good. No obvious tissue loss/decay, In setup now and under evaluation one colony opened up in like 2 min rest are still adjusting. Trocus snails all good, nassarius snails lost one but there were more then I ordered so fine by me. The picks that came in the pack were some great ones too. including some Bob Marleys


UPDATE: That last snail was A-OK just took em a while to perk up during acclimation

 

[Irongolem411]

Same situation. Still waiting for delivery. First time I have ever order any livestock online.

Do you have pictures of your corals. Just curious how your actual picture compares to WWC's.

If I ever receive them I will post a picture. FedEx is really ruining this thread.

I will say that here is a photo from the lats live sale and all the pieces look just like they did in the sale. I have daylights on (mostly) for this photo just using my iphone so its not very true to color. But if you were to have it on the bluer scale of lighting, closer to actinic lighting they would be exactly what was on sale.
