Unfortunately, Air wont work for small cities/Towns like were in. Tgouejon and I are in the same area/situation, and still over an hr drive to the closest shipping airport... for me, 45min longer for him

but dude, if you do go down let me know. may be interested in some more frags or something. looking for somehting for my Clowns to hopefully host in. But not a BTA

monday at 12:45 and greyhound still doesnt know where they are. gettin more than a little ****ed now. like bandit said air is just too much of a drive to be useful its either williams lake or kamloops. but im starting to wonder if anybody successfully uses loomis, purolator or DHL and if so are the cost relativaly fair.

Unfortunately I believe by now you might have bags of fish soup ... Well fish gruel would be more accurate. Do these things get labeled as live product? If so I believe that the shipping company should step up there policy a bit as that's a little ridiculous!

I'm sure with labor shortages GH is just looking for bodies... You could probably write whatever you want on the box and the employees wouldn't care.

Same with air shipment. I know people who have lost fish orders and more and more luggage seems to go missing. No one cares. I've seen planes being unloaded at the airport and they literally were tossing all the cardboard boxes onto the cart. Some would miss... some would roll of the other side.

What a journey those fish have made from the ocean, and then to die like that.
