[Battlecorals]

Well, mine just showed up after a brief delay enroute. Thanks to @Battlecorals careful packing, I think we're ok though.

My first official entry, just 3 minutes after plopping her in the tank:

Oh man, that’s a relief. Really glad to hear it. I could not be more curious to know if the heat packs were still warm or how that water felt

 

[Battlecorals]

omg...i thought it was 5in for a minute there

Yeah, ugh!!! what the heck. they absolutely blew it on yours.

I mean they couldn’t get it delivered in two days now? just stuck going on the three day plan here it seems.

we’ll call it a bust I’m guessing, utterly disappointing. But I’ve got you covered 100% my friend and thanks for your patience and understanding.

They were. Actually, ARE. Still warm as I type this. Impressive.

Thank you. If it ever does show... and it's still alive...i think it gets its own contest... WILL IT SURVIVE UPS... or you gotta update the name to like Chernobyl, mutant.

 

[Johnd651]

At this point I think UPS just gave up on life...

Yeah, it’s silly at this point, at least you’ll get your ruler. assuming it does show up at some point.

We’ll plan on re-shipping as soon as I can, man.

I’m in the same boat. Tracking yesterday said it’d be here by noon today. Fingers crossed.

If anyone is interested you can sign up to UPS you get more detailed information on shipping. It does not cost anything.

Yep, I have My Choice, but it says the same thing at this point.

"UPS DROPPED PACKAGE ON RUNWAY"

My package made it to the Ontario hub about an hour ago. Frustrating to know it’s about 6 miles away, but likely still won’t see it today.

Honesty the app is great, I had a battle box coming once and the app said it was on the truck that was at my house but the driver couldn't find it, he made a call and an hour later someone else came and delivered it to me personally. If I hadn't said anything I probably wouldn't have got my box of coral that day.

You may be able to call them and pick it up. Tell them it's a live animal.

I'm on this. if you can get them, I will do everything in my power to make this happen.

Oh wow, LA area… Hope you’re doing well and they have a handle on the huge fires you’re experiencing. You must be close to the Eaton fire, still reporting 0% control

The closest fire is about 30 miles away, so not likely to pose a threat. Not at the moment anyway. The wind here has been really bad, though. 40-50mph sustained and approaching 100mph gusts over the last couple of days. Not bad today. Tons of downed trees and lots of people without power due to Edison shutting areas down "proactively". 2025 has not been kind to SoCal so far. Same with the southern states and the winter storms.

 

[JayM]

Tracking updated showing delivery today by noon.

 

[loyalsockreefer]

It's crazy that they charge you for a service, and if they can't deliver in that time frame they don't reimburse you for your loss?

 

[Jasonak]

Tracking updated showing delivery today by noon.

Any luck ?

 

[JayM]

Any luck ?

Nope. I’m waiting on a phone call from UPS, though I doubt they’ll be any help. Their website says it’ll be delivered today, yet it doesn’t show “out for delivery”.

 

[JayM]

Well, hopefully 3 days in a box isn't too long. Just got off the phone with UPS and they said it won't be today, and if I haven't received the package by 7pm tomorrow to get in touch with them.
