My package finally arrived yesterday. The post office refused to deliver the box since it was marked 'LIVE ANIMALS' and there was water dripping from it. :thinking:
I had to pick it up from the PO, they had it in a container in a plastic bag and would only pick it up wearing gloves. Unfortunately, since the frags were shipped in a disposable rubbermaid container the lid popped off sometime during transportation and the water collapsed the box.
I do believe the suggested shipment was in a thermos so the water wouldn't leak out.
There was almost no water left in the baggies. The only item that might survive is something yellow on the rock -- hopefully it will make it. Nothing else is alive.
The other items were not only dead but the smell was deadly in itself.
The note inside the box was illegible because it got wet and the ink ran.
I think there is a lesson to be learned here.
