Shipping coral during coronavirus

[Will_WhatIsThis]

Hello all. I want to buy some coral online but I’m afraid that there might be shipping delays due to the virus, and my corals will arrive dead. Seems like everyone is still shipping out normally, so I feel like I’m worried about nothing. Maybe some dealers could help me out with this question? Thanks!

Definitely more risky than normal but from what I’m seeing most orders are being delivered on schedule.. Personally I would hold off on the more expensive exotic or delicate corals at this time but things like shrooms, zoanthids and gorgi’s would probably be fine even if delayed a day.

I've had no shipping delays, I've been shipping corals weekly since before covid19 and have seen no problems with shipping since it started.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like I was right about worrying about nothing.

I've bought several things, for several different people all round the US, I have had no issues with things being late or delayed.

I ordered some stuff over the weekend. I can let you know how it goes. Expecting one delivery today and the rest tomorrow.

I have had 2 acro orders shipped to me in the last 3 weeks. No delays on either order.

I just receive some coral also, no delays in my order.
