00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[*GAREEF*]

No way to wake up! I hope it’s a short delay and everything arrives healthy. Send this to the vendor. Fingers crossed!

I was the first to contact the vendor this morning.
I suggested he go back to ups and get all of the packages. Mine was one of many coral packages shipped by vendor. They just finished an auction of hundreds of corals.
There are many packages from them at ups just sitting there. Hundreds of corals will be toast.
Sad day for many people.

Good morning everyone hope your day starts out better than mine….
$2k in corals smoked!
No way they survive.:crying-face:

I'd risk a couple hundred dollars but $2k is too much for me to risk buying online with the bad experience I had with UPS and Amazon. I hope everything gets to you safe and sound today.

Good morning everyone

That is what I had left after I lost 95% of my colony.

Don't walk out off leash and you won't lose it next time! :eek:

All seriousness though, I heard birdsnest just grow like crazy then almost done themselves out and do what yours did

Yeah, it was unusual for me and normally would not order anything this time of year.
I wanted the yoga flame for the grow out competition and was able to win some killer acros for good prices from auction. Didn’t think I’d win them all….lol
Should have went with my gut feeling about ordering this time of year.
They are going to refund my purchases but they can’t replace the yoga flame because the colony has been all split up for the grow out competition.
Really bummed

Has happened to me several times throughout the years. They get to be about the size of a basketball and then pow! Overnight smoke show.

do vendors typically insure these? just curious because it seems like some delays could be avoided that are all carrier issues.

All of the vendors I use guarantee live arrival and this vendor also has a two week guarantee and they run interceptor in their systems.
They quarantine all their corals for several months before selling. Only a few vendors I trust for sps.

Good morning Amanda, I hope you turn the corner today and start feeling much better!

Thank you my friend!

 

[Calmwaters]

Good morning peeps! This is just to make sure everyone knows I have a birdsnest!

When I get the one I ordered I'm going to name it Kevin it will be the only coral with a name. Lol

I work but have free time occasionally while working and normally spend it here so I can stay caught up. Lol

 

[Calmwaters]

I get behind at night since I go to bed before everyone else then I get caught up while having coffee before work.
