Receiving live shipments when not at home .

How do you get your live coral or fish shipments if you have to work . In some cases like me I work 7 days a week. To take a day off and miss the overtime is not a good option .

Hmmmmm, yeah ... maybe not there!:confused:

Yeah, just have it shipped to the FedEx or UPS store. I've had coral delivered to the FedEx store near my house and they'll send you a text when it's ready for pick up.

Good to know. I'm burning through my PTO taking half days to sign.

You can have it shipped to a neighbor or a family member if they live close by.

Get it hold at closest fedex or ups facility and pick it up from there at your convenience.

Have it delivered to a friend or family? You can pick it up there at the hub as well, i believe, but they close at 5 or 6.

Yeah I have had things delivered to like fedex stores but never live corals/fish . Good to know and hope this helps others as I see @Willz has been taking time off to receive packages .

We've got a guy at work that burns through his vacation constantly to receive deliveries... Not even live, just inanimate junk.

 

[Pruett-nc]

Yeah I work 7 days a week for a reason lol . So taking time off to sign a piece of paper is not gonna happen . Some people don't mind it but I am far from wealthy lol .

Yeah, I'm setting up a new tank and have had quite a few signature requirements at the house and it's 45 minutes away from work :( There is a FEDED hub close to my job and getting texts/emails when it is ready would be much better.

The aquarium itself is coming freight to my house. Wish they had shipped to a hub on that as well....

You can also request to have them deliver it to your local FedEx store after it has been shipped. I had some zoas being shipped to my work address but the vendor never got my message with the change of address and shipped them to my home, I called FedEx but they couldn't change the original delivery address once it's shipped but could deliver it to a FedEx store for pick up instead.
