I paid for 2 day shipping and today will be 3 days since I put my order in and it still shows as processing. With it now being a Friday, I'm betting it wont ship until next week. Very frustrating.

Yeah my last few orders have been like that. If I order the Friday before or Monday same week, pay for 2 day or overnight shipping with an ETA delivery date. They've still just been shipping the next week.

I don't know what is going on with them anymore. Used to be I could order on a Monday and have my stuff from them Wednesday if I paid for that shipping.

@AlgaeBarn any input or updates on shipping delays? Should we all just plan to have to order a week ahead with no same week shipments anymore?

I've been debating trying some of the other vendors on here now. I just feel Algaebarns customer service has went down hill the last year.

I lpve algae barn, and it seems theee is a reason when they have those delays when I order from them, usually 2 day on a friday comes the fillowing wednesday. But the only problem i have had is the live phyto been looking light. I switched to powdered spirulina for a month to give them a break to let those phytos build back up.

That's how it used to work for us too. Now ordering on Fridays we get our order ten days later. Even if it says that following Tuesday or Wednesday.

Subscription order suffered processing delay the first time but ever since has been spot on. They’re online chat/subsequent emails have always been prompt, I’ve been at a loss reading this thread. The first order I ever made (one off) I got a duplicate order from another carrier same day. Subscription vs one-time order delays? But even then that’s not a great way to get people on subscriptions. This is a bummer to hear about and I’ll shout if things start to go awry.
