Where to begin with Joe. I purchased a pack of rare Leptos from him. These are pretty hard to get and he had to cut and heal one prior to shipping.
I had another shipment coming in from a personal member here so I tried to match up the delivery days to save on vacation days. Joe and I knew we were rushing to get the freshly cut one out the door. He sent me a message early on shipping day asking if I wanted to risk it. Well, I didn't get the message till the afternoon and I'm glad I did. I got a follow-up message a little later where he stated that in good conscience, he wouldn't send it out. Nothing made me happier than to get that second email. Anyone who would risk sending a coral early doesn't really care about their corals, in my opinion. I wanted this rare coral to get a healthy start and by holding off on shipping, it makes me feel more comfortable that it will last.
As for shipping, they were expertly packaged. He uses a nice plastic cup thingy to keep the frags from bouncing around in the bags. He used newspaper, peanuts, and a heat pack. All expertly done.
Another seller that would get an A+ rating and obviously someone you should feel comfortable dealing with.
