greyhound sucks

[tgoeujon]

how long can fish from jl aquatics be in transit and live. they were shipped greyhound yesterday afternoon and greyhound has no idea where they went. supposedly they might be here tomorrow morning. if so what are the chances for them getting here alive?

jl does a pretty good job packaging. Depending on what you have coming, I wouldn't lose all hope yet, just hope they come tomorrow....
I don't think jl has alive arrive guarantee when shipping by bus, so you would have to take it up with greyhound.

I've had fish get delayed by a day, they were ok. This time of year you might be fine.

i dont want to argue with greyhound i just hate losing fish. no jl doesnt have any guarantees with bus freight. i just hope they make it.

1. You have to live near a major centre for pick up
2. You have to make sure it gets on next bus
2a. Never rely on them to phone you. get the waybill number and ask when it is in.
3. Sometimes they are a little slow at unpacking the pup trailers.(this is actually the problem) If you specify it is live they may put it in front. Assuming it doesn't smell.

dont lose hope yet, the chances are still 50-50

Personally, depending what you ordered...fish seem to be ok in this type of weather for about 36-48 hours. Corals seem to be good for about 72-96 (depending on type). Corals are waaaay hardier than fish.

my CUC was fine and it took 2 days by greyhound

still nothin and now greyhound tells me there shipping office is closed till monday so noone to track it for me till then. i think ill just make the 3 hour drive to jl next time.

When I get live orders I always get them sent on Mondays for that very reason. Whether it's plants via Express Post or fish via Greyhound.

What is in your order anyway?
