Bad luck with ordering corals offline?

We have had horrible luck it seems, "Liveaquaria" sent us a buttonpolyp that arrived upside down all the polyps smashed. So we called they sent us another, same type. SMASHED. So now I have two button polyp colonies slowly repairing themselves from what few polyps survived. they also sent a set of lavender mushrooms attatched to a stick... needless to say thats gone. Now we ordered pink/white pumping xenia from "Aquacon" and it arrived this morning attatched to a sea shell....... this is getting so old. mabye only LFS it is, which sucks because I don't think they are that good. But atleast I can get a specimen I want. I mean come on. Anyone else having this type of problem with corals offline?

 

Reefgardener.net is where I will be doing 100% of my online coral shopping from here on out. Check out there website, and they are also a sponsor of this forum. All of their stuff is shipped very well, is very healthy. And very imprtantly, everything is a TRUE WYSIWYG. Absolutlety no camera tricks or photoshopping. I had never had health issues, but had some serious photoshop/camera trick issues from other dealers. Not the case with Reef Gardener.
