Yes but they are not using them for every shipment, not even close

No one should be shipping livestock during the current world pandemic. Every carrier has stated they no longer can meet over night criteria. Not only that some items have a higher priority than others.
No hobbyist should be buying. And if they do ask the vendor to tag it and keep it until shipping gets back to normal. They shouldn't have a issue with that.
Speaking for me personally. I read the live arrival guarantee and was ok with it even if it's just store credit. I took the risk of eating the $40 shipping if something went wrong.
There wasnt a big surprise gotcha. It was all in writing so I understood what I was getting into & saw where the riots were happening. The weather looked ok so if it was delayed a day I thought the fish would be ok
Different vendors have different rules. I dont understand why we need a standardized set of rules based on a few people's opinion. If you dont like their rules then dont give them your business. The market will sort it out for you.
The cost is factored in? Yet you state it's the consumer to bear the loss. Then why is the consumer paying a higher cost that factors in % of loss by a company, person, if the they don't compensate for a loss of the product bought by the consumer.
Agreed, but more - threads like this one talking about this policy are important so sellers realize how unfair this policy is, and change it.“sorry carrier delayed, not on me” is crap and should not be tolerated. I’m upset this is the majority of sellers putting that in their doa. I will not buy from anyone who states that.
While we are at it! This board seems to think that L Y I N G is spelled lieing and it makes me cringe every time!No insults. . . . . it's . . . G U A R A N T E E
This type of awareness is needed by people doing hobby selling.Now, two years later, I'm in a position w/ my tank where I'll start to need to get rid of some coral, and personally, I'd rather give them away or trade to local reefing friends than even deal with the headaches of selling through a forum.
They have their own planes but are limited to the hubs they fly to and have to depend on delivery to smaller airports via the airlines or land transportation. They are taxed at this time due to their partial dependance on passenger airlines to fill the gaps. Given your statements I have to wonder if you are actually aware of how the spoke and hub system works? You may just be lucky as most customers happen to be located in the hub system due to population demographics. In other words most of the hobbiest live in the most populated areas of the world not the rural areas. This is why Aquarium stores do better in large metro areas due to larger customer demand.The large carriers have their own planes. FedEx has the largest fleet in the world I do believe.
