I hope that you will be rating this company appropriately on the Vendor Rating Forum so that others may be spared this disapointment.

Very sorry this happened to you as I know what it is like to anticipate the arrival of an order. I have been very fortunate and the 2 suppliers I have used have been extremely careful with their packaging and I have never been disappointed.

Started this survival poll after a disappointing group order in Edm. Was surprise though that overall shipping success is as high as indicated.

Where I'm a little turned off from getting frags shipped is the size of the frag for the price, specially if it's not WYSIWYG.

Support your local Canreef fragger.

the shipping companies do play a role, but thats pretty convenient for the shipper....

I had my 25 frags shipped from Ontario a while ago and while everything about the order was terrible, the one thing that was as advertised was the arrival of everything alive and well.
I actually had sps with pe in the shipping bags when I pulled them out of the shipping box...
I am sure the only reason this worked was because I had them hold it at the purolator office, rather than let some delivery truck driver throw it in his truck and bump around town with it before his route took him past my house.

I am sure I saved myself 7 or 8 hours of transit time doing it this way.
The frags arrived at about 10 am at the shipping office and I got them by 1pm...

I would never order frags or anything live to my home address now, it's worth the drive to pick it up yourself IMO.

I did not know about the vendor rating, Thank-you I will be the first to go there now,
though. That is the best new's yet. My whole point is I do not care about the money,
as I probably should, I would like to spare the next person the utter dissapointment
of opening your package and being completely shocked. God only know's why it took
so long to get here. I just new, when they did not arrive tuesday, I was S.O.L. I paid
$55.00 to have a box shipped (not much bigger than a lunch box) from the fraser Valley
to Penticton. And it didn't fly here, if that is what your thinking. I can not see it.
This said person has their $ 250.83 so they should be very happy as for me I am the proud owner of ?????? Who knows what, when and if I ever figure that much out!

At least for me in the future I would only have frags shipped via westjet. It's mot really any different in price and you get the items within an hour of the plane landing.

Im very surprised at this vendor offering up their identity after such bad remarks about this topic.

Id does seem from the one side of the detailed emails he has done everything possible to compensate them as well.

Kudos on offering up your identity to a public thread even when the client tried to conceal it.

This just appears to be a case of "ohmygod i hate courier companies".

Bad remarks need to be justified! I want justification here. I will come forth with ANY complaint publicly, everyone has a right to know the whole story.

Live arrivals guaranteed, 100% refund, etc., lets's face it, even if the supplier holds up their end, it's still a hassle getting replacements.
