I managed to screw up my address when ordering from liveaquaria.

My new midnight clown, lettuce nudibranchs, snails and hermits were supposed to be here at 10:30 AM. They are on the truck but my address was wrong, so they remain on the truck til either:

A) The driver gets the message the distribution center sent him and he decides to go out of his way to redilver
B) 7PM tonight when the driver gets back to the distribution for me to pick it up

I've read that there's enough oxygen in there for a couple days, and today has a high of 65F which doesn't seem too bad.

We'll see!
 
I either have it delivered to work or depending on the method of shipping held at the FedEx or UPS store for me to pick up on the way home since they are near my house. Never had fish delivered, but plenty of corals. Good luck.
 
I had a UPS delay keep my fish in transit for 48 hours. One fish survived, and one had serious ammonia burns and died. Pacific Island Aquatics are awesome and sent me a replacement fish. It wasn't a cheap fish either, so I was thrilled!

Anyway - Good luck, just remember to float and salinity match but get the fish out of the bag water as soon as possible. No slow acclimation if they've been in shipping water for a while.
