IMO its ALL about the packaging.. I mean like how can a bag break in shipping? It just cant happen if they are packaged properly.

Ive ordered 3 or 4 times from Coral Master with 100% live arrival every time.. even when one shipment was misplaced for 24 hours. The frags were triple bagged (labeled with proper names) packed tightly and shipped in a proper stryofoam lined shipping box with heat packs added.

I ordered once from Fragalot. The box leaked so badly that the box fell apart. UPS had to rebox it somewhere along the way and all I got was empty plugs. The frags were replaced and this time the box was so wet that UPS called me and delivered it with a garbage bag wrapped around the box as it was leaking so badly. 1/2 the frags lived. This wouldnt happen if a proper stryofoam box had been used.

not the breaking in my case, It's greyhound shipping them 4 hrs further North, having them sit on a loading dock for 2 days, then ship the frozen package to me, with the Live Fish RUSH decals all over the box. Then say OOPS, Sorry........
