I just dealt with the same thing with greyhound when I had 2 seahorses sent up from Calgary over the weekend.
It took them over a day and a half to find the parcel
They said they were super delayed sorting stuff out because of the long weekend and having huge volume of packages.
the box had been damaged and was put off to the side.
If the zoos were packed wet and one of the bags leaked..maybe the same thing happened and they were put off to the side.
The only reason I got them when I did was because I had called a few times and the lady who kept on dealing with me noticed my parcel off the to the side when she went to the washroom.
I wish you guys the best, I can certainly understand your frustration.
Apparently Greyhound is way behind times and even the Waybill doesn't get entered into the system for a few days after it has been shipped. So they won't be even able to track it till then.
Zoos are very hardy and at least you have that on your side.
Good luck
Neal

For future references, never ship just before a holiday or long weekend. In fact, it is safest to ship on Monday or Tuesday, so there is more time to track a package down before the weekend. Good luck.

I've shipped several things (live & non) with Greyhound & following those rules seems to work for me. I am also now using "Breathable" bags for shipping or transporting livestock, which seems to work as advertised.

Thanks for your very generous offer midgetwaiter.

And thanks to Neal and Anthony for the posts.

I honestly trust that if all is well with the package, that the zoos are fine. I agree 100% that zoos are very hardy. If the package has not been damaged like mentioned... I can't see why they won't be alright. I was at first under the impression that they zoos were shipped dry, but this is not the case.

I guess all's we can do is wait.. I'll try back at 1, and ask if maybe the package has been "damaged" and moved off to the side or something like that.

Wowww

Talk about massive confusion here!

Okay, this is for EVERYONE in the order.. I figure I may as well post it here.

The order has been at a NE location since the 6th!!!! Well, this is NOT my fault.. and I am not trying to sound rude or anything like that towards Ivy, but in the PM .. this is what I was told:

"They said the package will arrive "FRIDAY". to the depot at 833 greyhound way. Their phone number is 403-263-1234. You need to call them tomorrow and ask if there is a box for "Scott Harty". They will tell you what to do from there on out. I think they are open until 6:30."

I have been calling the wrong greyhound, but only because this is where i was told the order went to. Seeing as I don't do this very often, I wouldn't think to call the other greyhound's.. why would I?? So now we know where the order is.



If you all would like, I will forward you the original PM.

Man oh man.. that really, really, really sucks.

If I had more experience with Greyhound and shipping & recieving .. then maybe I woulda thought to call over there. But seeing as this is my first time, I figured that the address and number provided would be all I needed.

My apologies to the group.

The order will obviously be picked up sometime today, so keep watching this thread for updates as it's such a pain to PM everyone .
