Fedex pvernight shipping.

For out of state shipping of live goods what Fedex shipping method does saltwaterfish.com use?
Priority, Standard Overnight or depends on the location, weather, etc...

my last shipment about 3 weeks ago came standard

I am pretty sure it is standard overnight. No business that offers any kind of a guarantee on live goods would offer 2day or 3 day shipping.

i just seen a website that ships a 10 frag pack through usps priority with a 5 day alive garuntee
sorry that was usps express but everyone knows express is not garunteed overnight everywhere

The "Contact" link:

states:
"Live Goods orders are shipped Priority Overnight with FedEx and the time they will be delivered is up to the FedEx station in your area (Live Rock is shipped 2nd Day FedEx)."
But mine also recently shipped standard. On past order I received priority.
Curious as to why.

i guess you could go to fed/ex 's website. They guarantee next day delivery to states near florida even if you ship it out standard fed/ex. i'd bet raleigh and tennessee are close enough that they don't have to pay for overnight, and i believe they had said somewhere that if they could ship standard they would and pass the shipping savings on.
don't quote me though, it's been a while since i remember reading something like that.

We go standard overnight to most locations. Fedex requires priority on some rural locations.

+1 if the location is a ways away from the local fedex station, they only offer priority because they dont want their drivers going to a location that far away 2 times.

Also, fedex only guarantees the box if it is not delivered on the same day.
