When I last bought corals the shipping date was so far out that I was able to purchase from TWO TSA live sales in one shipping box. The first corals I bought were significantly larger/more encrusted than when I bought them. Not always a bad thing.No, mine isn't even being shipped til a week and a day after the day that I bought...the corals will be fine but my need for instant gratification is taking QUITE a hit. Lol
