greyhound sucks

[fencer]

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.

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?

Ya, I have had a OA shipment go to Quesnell once. Was mid winter. They were DARN cold when they got here. But, they acctually survived. This time of year, You might be ok. Although, 3-4 days in the bags??? I have had go arounds with GH here too. One time, I knew a shipment came in at 630AM from Kelowna, I was heading in to pick them up(snails) and GH called me, seems there was a Powdercoating package there too. Told them they have something else for me from Kelowna too. Told me, "No, theres nothing here" I said "Ya, that box behind you that says LIVE FISH PERISHABLE EXTREMEME RUSH" "Ohh, that box."

Just no clue on what RUSH means.....

i usually do the week days too but my hours have changed at work so the only day i can pick up is weekends. i had a cuc, a couple different gobies, bangaii cardinal, pom pom crabs as well as a bunch of dry goods. i just hate losing things.
