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.

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.

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.
