UPS is the worst delivery service for anything not only livestock.
Google UPS and read some of the horror stories.
I have a 65 Corvair and get alot of parts out of the states if the vender says he ships via UPS I don't buy from them. They screw up and still charge ridiculous fees.

Its the middle of winter what did you expect? This si why you fly live animals inculding coral. IMO you brought this on yourself.

Ryan,
When the parcel sits in an unheated van for over 12 hrs, and ups does not call on arrival, i hardly see how this is our problem. Your statement is ignorant. We pay for shipping, they should do thier job.

Why would you ship in an unheated van? What do you think would happen? Once again its the buyers fault for even thinking that your parcel will last that long.

But what was the shipper thinking?? Why not put a couple 20 or 30 or 40 hour heat packs in there to keep it warm?

Having said that, I never, ever, ever, order in the winter, unless I am fully aware that if
it goes wrong, I can only blame moi. And yes flying is good but having said that be prepared to go and pick-up at whatever time. Where I live it is late when things arrive
so I leave them over night. But then again they are awesome and know me well.
Bottom line wait till weather is warmer that is my motto, can't even trust the people
who ship them. It sucks but that is the way it is. Oh and I have learned the hard way.

I didn't even think it was legal to ship corals over the border
