shipping

I was researching coral shipping and temperatures and so on and came across this older thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/heat-pack-study.96954/ It seems to be the only one I've seen with data on temperatures over several hours in the cold simulating shipping. I would love to see any and...

I haven't had my tank running for that long (about 4 months) and up until now I have managed to find everything at my lfs's so I have been able to go and pick everything up... Until now. I have had a hard time finding a couple fish locally along with some sexy shrimp. Everyone locally keeps...

I’m in the process of moving and wanted to get my fish shipped to me. I went into FedEx and it getting prices for over $200 for overnight shipping. Was curious for those of you who ship, how do you lower costs? Everything is in a 10 gallon currently so not a ton of stuff.

Hey everyone I was considering ordering a waterbox aio 50.3 but I have some concerns about delivery. I live in South Philly and the city streets here are very very narrow and full of parked cars. Its hard enough to get a standard moving van down here let alone a freight shipment and I've never...

Hi guys, I just received a short spine urchin in the mail in a plastic bag.. obviously the bag leaked and when I received him he was in water that was maybe 1/4 his height. I've read that air is bad for urchins, so things didnt look good. I just filled his bag up with tank water, and let him...

The question is to ship or not to ship .I'm all for it but I'm just a small fry and my shipping is not as low as other people's prices . I'm all for it if someone is willing to pay But it won't be cheap. I know volume would bring down the shipping price as far as discount but just staring to...

Hello, I've been looking for some rare mushrooms for a long time, such as OG bounce, discosoma jawbreaker, etc. Outside Europe, these beautiful corals are often offered, but nothing in Europe. I am from the Czech Republic and I would like to order this beautiful coral. In good weather, the coral...

I see that when people are selling corals on here they are typically listed as Next Day Air shipping. I understand this; the faster the shipping, the more likely the coral will survive. The question I have is, as long as the weather is agreeable, will coral typically survive two days in...

Quick question; I am in NJ and am considering a Planet Aquariums build 120 - 150G. Curious to see what freight costs you all have typically experienced with these tanks as I am comparing the price on Planet's website vs. an LFS quote I received. (This is strictly freight; there is a separate...

Happy New Years Eve guys! I recently shipped some corals to my friend as a Christmas gift using the UniHeat 40 hours pad and a styrofoam box. My friend told me that when he received the box. The water was ice cold and the heat pack was not working at all. Does it happen to you guys too? Is...

I am writing this as both a cautionary reminder during the holidays & because of my love for all things Dragon Ball. I ordered a Christmas Wrasse, we named Bulma, from a local shop here in NC. They were too far to drive so I shipped her to my house. At 5:00am, I received an "update" email...

Warning: This this rant Today's the third time in a row where Fedex has failed to even attempt delivery for an overnight shipment. I've been home waiting the package all three times, and no knock or even a door tag. I'm convinced that anytime I have a Fedex package that requires signature upon...

I had a couple of questions in relevance to a shipping timeline and process of receiving the actual aquarium. - How long or average wait time did you go through to get your aquarium on your doorstep? - Not really familiar with drop shipping but seems its straight forward? - Do they contact me...

Hi, I have been buying coral online for a long time. SPS frag cost anywhere between $5-$700. The way I received them is really poor. Sometime the bag leaks, sometime coral is sitting at the bottom of the bag. It is time for a change. Icecap has a nice transport system but cost over $20. Other...

Hello! For those of you that have shipped pods, how do you go about it? I have millions of these little guys in my pod grow out and I would love to ship them to people. Any advice is appreciated Also, what kind of shipping do you typically do?

To whom it may concern, Currently working on correction of a delivery address. When ordering I selected the wrong address from my address book. I spoke to customer service (Fri @ 09:20 hrs) and thought I had corrected the issue with the proper mailing address however the livestock hasn't been...

Hi, We are in the process of getting into this and are maybe a bit to eager and ambitious! We bought a beautiful acrylic tank that is a round bubble and about 45gallons (photos to come), got it set up and going and then noticed a leak on bottom, so drained it and resealed/glue and start...

I am aware that some shipper ship certain hermit crabs with no water, just damp paper towels. I was wondering if the same would be okay for non-hermit crabs like decorator crabs, xanthid crabs, etc. I figured it would be okay since even blue crabs at fish markets live for a long time without any...

So today I got my order of Zoas from saltcritters.com and all the Zoas look perfect accept for the well know “brown stuff” that was floating on top of the baggies the drags came in. Which I read is relatively common. I decided on purchasing a mystery coral and unfortunately my mystery coral was...
