Everything looking great blue ghost is the winner

alpacaman · Oct 24, 2023

Were the battlebrush and frag stand(s?) supposed to be in all orders? I got the stickers but none of that.

Also, everything’s looking great in the tank! I’m assuming the ~1/8” of white tips on the blue ghost (back right on rack) is new growth and not bleaching/dying.

Looking like your not the only one. Was scheduled to arrive thismorning, just got scanned in Kentucky 25min ago, im in northern Michigan . I hope it's an error, even if it arrives later this afternoon i had it being shipped to my work and I live over an hour away so this could potentially really suck. Keeping my fingers crossed for us that our packages arrive with still alive corals!

UPS has been atrocious lately. Especially the Louisville hub, power outages and equipment failure is what they have told me.

I'm with you all too. My shipment is also in Ky. No worries tho I am sure it will all be ok one way or the other.

Sorry man that sucks.

Battlecorals · Oct 25, 2023

Ugh!!!! Well this definitely sucks. I’ll see what I can find out. Whole heartedly disappointing to say the least.

I have fish order coming today,(Adams comes tomorrow

) went to Oklahoma then back to Kentucky coming from Maryland. I wonder if the scans are wrong or if they really back track shipments like that. It is also delayed because of flights it says.

If you sign up for free account at UPS you can see more details of your order.

This is what I'm hoping for. I've seen them screw up the scans before. The thing that's got me worried is my work recieved our ups deliveries already today. It's super rare for them to send 2 to us in a day. Everything I've previously had corals shipped to my work they arrive before 10am.

I know are normal UPS guy. Its always a different guy who delivers fish/coral shipments. Not sure why that is I will ask the regular guy next time I see him.

Battlecorals · Oct 25, 2023

Well, this is tragically unfortunate,

every single one got stuck yesterday, every single one. sometimes UPS does pull this off though so all hope is not lost for delivery today yet.

none of them actually say they're delayed, and still are scheduled scheduled for delivery today. but I guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed guys.

This is however, exactly the reason why I didn't commit all the frags. I have on the rack to the contest. so if it's a big bust on all mother loving 15 boxes that went out last night, we'll just have to do it again,

jeez though. I mean come on!!

This sucks. Out of curiosity Adam what do these type of things mean on your end? Does ups compensate you in any way?
