UPS Security Checks

[AcroNem]

Has anyone else had UPS delay their package an entire day because they did a security check on your package? I have it happening right now and it's a first for me. I called and there's nothing they can do. They didn't really even know the reason behind it. Any way, feel free to chime in. Fingers crossed at least something makes it through the extra time.

Yes, it took a few days in the middle of winter to finally get a package from them. I had to call them and nicely demand I be able to pick up my package after hours. Box was really beat up, leaking and freezing but somehow everything was fine after a very slow acclimation.

Oh man I'm sorry, that's amazing everything survived. Mine has had a security check and was delayed most of the day due to severe weather. So it's (supposedly) arriving tomorrow. This box has Gorgonians, small basket stars and a thorny oyster... I'm not very optimistic but I'm hoping for the best.

Gorgs, should be okay. I recently found a seller who sends them snail mail style for 5.99 shipping and mine arrived okay after 4 days in the mail system

Most species of Gorgonians seem to be fine with shipping. The snail mail thing is a little sketchy though.

I took a chance. Can't beat $10 gorg frags lol

Hey if they lived that's good, I don't think I'd ever do it. Anyone else had it happen? If so do you know the reason for it?
