monkiboy October 16, 2013 Share October 16, 2013 ...after USPS is done with it: it was shipped friday morning via USPS next day air for saturday delivery guaranteed by 12pm. it arrived today, wednesday, @ 2pm. i went through hours of "customer service", discovery reports to try to find the darn package to see if i could have it returned to sender to save the specimen (nope), 20 minutes each freaking time you call just to talk to a real person, and still no answers. what a waste. was hoping to add to the BTA lineup for cloning to share with the rest of the WAMAS crew at less than half of my investment but nope never again. not with USPS, anyway. just needed a cathartic post to release. thank you.

trockafella October 16, 2013 Share October 16, 2013 exactly why USPS is eventually going to go out of business and not be missed at all.. I hate them, they are horrible. They cant get envelopes right, why do we expect them to accomplish anything else. Very sorry for your loss, unfortunately not the first one of these Ive seen about USPS.. Can we see what you were supposed to get.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basser9 October 16, 2013 Share October 16, 2013 Always ship fed ex and pk up at one of there places in the morn....... I have a mailman that is so bad he cant even go 1 week without giving me the neighbors mail. He old and completely unable to do his job it got so bad at christmas last year they gave him a helper and we still got the mail late at night. Me and my neighbers have tried to find someone in charge to complain to and it appears next to impossible. This is my USPS it is a nightmare........There overnight would scare me.

Origami October 16, 2013 Share October 16, 2013 Always ship fed ex and pk up at one of there places in the morn....... +1. Have the shipper check the box to pick up at a Fed Ex facility and have them ship to your name c/o the FedEx or FedEx Office (formerly Kinko's) location address. They'll generally have it by 10 AM or so in the morning (mine gets the delivery before 8 AM). In my case, there's a FedEx Office less than a block away from my office, so it's really convenient for something that you need fast or for livestock.

Sorry, Marco. thanks, tom. Sorry man! shipper should have use UPS for time sensitive live stock. thanks, chuck. live and learn. You are reimbursed, right? Either way, shame about the nem. it's a trusted collector and wholesaler and they are doing right by me. yes, a shame indeed. BTA is a...? Edit: I'm assuming thats a Bubble Tip Anemone. darn I'd be livid right now. Hopefully the company refunds you. indeed, a bubble tip anemone. there was a recent thread by joshifer where i linked to a bunch of reefing acronym lists. check it out and bookmark it so it's easy to reference.

miggs76 October 16, 2013 Share October 16, 2013 I bought some corals from someone in Pennsylvania who shipped overnight USPS. I got the box which had holes in it and was soaking wet. Needless to say half of the corals were dead. Luckily the shipper worked with me and gave me a replacement but this time we used FedEx. I'll never use USPS to ship anything important again.
