Coral Shipping to NB

carriej · #1 01-28-2013, 12:03 PM

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to see if anyone ships corals/frags (or even fish) to NB. Haven't ordered from anywhere as I have been hesitant.. But the cost of corals is not only high here - it's a 4-6 hour roundtrip drive. Am I bad to want things delivered to my door? lol... Flight isn't really an option unless it's flight + bus/courier. Nearest airport is as far as the nearest reef shop.

We have ordered from a few places here in Eastern Canada - but they're not used to shipping (most are just storefronts that made exceptions for us) and haven't had much luck with anything surviving really at all. There are a few of us reefers in town and we are pretty much all in the same boat.

Any advice or suggestions would be great!

Do you have any major carriers ie. fedex, ups, purolator in town? Second question is do they have next day service from other areas.

Whats your postal?

UPS comes here daily, but the station is 2.5 hours away. We do have a purolator warehouse here though. I would prefer purolator because I know someone who works there and he knows to bring me my stuff, and if I am not home to bring it to me at work, and if Im busy at work to take it to my husbands work and he will leave and bring it home (LOL.. Guy needs to be paid more!)

I will check out the sponsors, thanks

.. And thanks Canada Corals I will have a look.

onlky problem with purolator, their infrastructure to rural areas is not as good, and can make next day shipping take up to 48 hours.

Air Canada or westjet may be just as good, as air cargo can cost $60-80 a shipment, close to pricing of a courier
