For my order in Calgary I have 100% survival 72 hours after arrival. A couple zoo heads are still closed but remain healthy. My SPS was showing polyps within an hour of being out of the bags.

I would not be happy with anything less than 100% survival. I paid for it, I want to recieve it in good order. Thats why I try to refrain from getting livestock in the winter months

Most of my stuff gets shipped and I have had very few losses.

In fact the only major loss I've had was when a plane went off the runway in Toronto and it delayed my shipment

I have bought twice from Toronto and twice from Calgary. One of the Toronto purchases was during a very cold spell. I am at 100% survival.

Coral Master has a 10 day guarantee and in the rare instances there are issues the replacements are shipped for free. I'm not sure how much more risk free I can make online purchasing.

IME, if you order from a reputable vendor there should be no issue regarding survival based on the time of year. Just my experience.

This was my first experience with ordering online. Only 3 of the 12 zoa frags I ordered have opened. Of the rest several have started disintegrating and the rest look shriveled and unhappy. At this point I blame FedEx because they screwed up and delayed delivery by an extra day so I hope the replacements will be in better shape.

seems like it would be easier to keep a package warm then cold would it not?
