[Flash]

3dead 3 alive.
not a good turn out!

I am curious as to what the average survival rate is with shipping?

How do we create a forum wide pole? or has one been done?

I am not talking about any specific vendors - I would like to know what I should expect as a survival rate in general...


any ideas???

lost 2 sets of zoas closed up and havent reopened went from 15 or so to2 polyps that can be made out and one set of 5 are doing great

[Flash]

just create a general poll for people who ordered this past year

Then as what % of frags survived

so I had 2 out of 5 that would be 40%

Ive placed 3 or 4 frag orders from Snappy in the last few months and had 100% survival.. and these were all SPS frags. IMO it all hinges on the packaging. Anything less than 100% survival isnt acceptable to me.

rough survival poll here

I participated on this order too and the last with burc. In total I am finding a 50% survival rate for SPS frags. I find with SPS time it takes to ship is critical and temp. 24hrs even from Calgary is dicey. Packing the bags with pure oxygen works, I used to recieve shipments form Germany in this way.

It really help also,if the frags aren't fresh cut,like shelley pointed out about gregs 100% survival rate.He frags and they sit for weeks,or a month before they get shipped.his packing is amazing.Burc has a good product,and sure has a wide nice selection.
