***?!

After having fedex deliver the last two times, I've come to the conclusion they're a lot better (in this area anyways)

 

As far as I can tell. I don't know what the hell they are doing TBH. The fish are in CA as of right now. I tried to just change it to hold for pick up and I would drive both ways, but they wanna charge me. Plus the 30 bucks in gas to drive both ways, I just couldn't afford it at the moment.

 

Did PIA send them overnight?

 

Too true. I usually don't like FedEx, but for livestock I don't think UPS deserve this hobby's business.

 

Charge you to finish doing their job for them? Seems a little ridiculous. I'm sorry about your luck lately man

 

Yup; sent Priority Next Day Air "Guarenteed by 10:30AM"

Hope they are insured. Also you can get a refund on the shipping in full I've heard. My fedex guy is never late, and never early with the 1030am shipmeant. Ups always gets them early and dry. I dont think ive ever gotten a package from fedex that wasnt soggy.

 

Yup. Apparently it is some sort of premium service for the receiver to be able to change the delivery options. 40 bucks flat rate. So that would add ~110 bucks to my already super expensive fish.

I am thinking they have to be insured. Someone is gonna fix this one way or another, but I feel bad for the fish if they ultimately do not make it.

 

Well the fish have arrived. They made it actually! I couldn't believe it! All things considered they looked great too, gotta love PIA for that.

Female is far more active than the male, but he is doing alright too.

Here's a short video of them in the acclimation box;

Hard to even get a good sense of color as the box is not clear, but opaque, but something none the less.

 

Glad they are doing well for you Thanks for the video!
