Ya, I have had a OA shipment go to Quesnell once. Was mid winter. They were DARN cold when they got here. But, they acctually survived. This time of year, You might be ok. Although, 3-4 days in the bags??? I have had go arounds with GH here too. One time, I knew a shipment came in at 630AM from Kelowna, I was heading in to pick them up(snails) and GH called me, seems there was a Powdercoating package there too. Told them they have something else for me from Kelowna too. Told me, "No, theres nothing here" I said "Ya, that box behind you that says LIVE FISH PERISHABLE EXTREMEME RUSH" "Ohh, that box."
Just no clue on what RUSH means.....

i usually do the week days too but my hours have changed at work so the only day i can pick up is weekends. i had a cuc, a couple different gobies, bangaii cardinal, pom pom crabs as well as a bunch of dry goods. i just hate losing things.

You can probably write off the Bangaii (they ship like crap to begin with). The rest of the fish might will make it provided they are kept in a decent temperature area over the weekend...but I doubt it. The crabs might be ok...

I've never had a problem with bus depot here. The lady that works there once phoned me on a sunday morn to tell me my shipment came in and she would wait there until I came and got it. Gotta love small towns

My last two orders through greyhound were both lost. Thankfully they arrived on the second day and most of the items survived. One item went through town and the other was put in a cargo crate even though it had a rush live goods on it. I do not think I will trust Greyhound again with live goods.

Sorry to hear about your lost order. One reason JL hates to deal with Greyhound. They really encourage the air method for all live goods but I know that is very expensive too.
A friend of mine is putting in a dry order soon so I will tag on a few things with that. He once did the live order through them on the bus and never again. Everything was dead, no fault of JL as they did an awesome job of packing everything but the bus man handles the live goods and it really is a risk with them. I plan on stopping there for my first time when we are coming home from holidays and if I see anything I will pick it up then. I sure hope that you don't loose everything, keep us posted and take your time acclimatizing them when you do get them Good luck.....Amy

being the guy who packs these orders up and delivers them either to the airport or to greyhound for J&L, i get to see first hand. i would have to say if you are gonna spend the money for a live order to be shipped. its worth it to pay the little bit extra for air shipment if you can. I am sorry for your loss.
