Hry guys I hade some clown fish and a coral being delivered today. Well I missed the delivery driver and now my stuff is going back to the shipping center. My question is should I wait until tomorow for him to deliver them. Or go and get them. It's like an hour drive. Will they be ok for another day if I leave them?

Go get them...if you leave them overnight, by the time you get them tomorrow you will have bags of ammonia with a pH of about 6.0....Whoever you ordered from WON'T be responsible for the deaths...so GO GET 'EM!!

Yeah I probally should. This really pi$$es me off. I don't have time to do this crap all the time. The thing that really makes mad is there is a fed ex place right here in my town. I wish they could leave them there. Now I have to wait until 6pm to go get them.:mad:

not trying to start anything, but why wouldnt you be home when you knew you had a live order on the way? but yes- i would go and get them later- also im most companies, the live arrival guarentee is void if you are not there to get them- and fedex documents you not being home:(

you might call the retailersz and ask them how long they pack the animals to survive in the containers for. for example, a shipment that i was receiving was delayed because the guy who took my order took the wrong address. i called the place to ask them about it and they said to call fedex, but that if it did take an extra day to get there, its ok, because they plan on the worst when shipping livestock. they said that the way the animal was packaged, would allow it to survive for two to three days. anywaysm just some words of encouragement. id definately go get them though!
good luck

Javojoe makes a good suggestion, I wish I could do that but being in university it would be kinda hard...i can picture it now, sitting in psychology class with 250 more students and some fedex guy comes in the door and screams out my name say he has a live fish for me....

Well guys I went and got them. I got home and one of my clown fish was dead. the other was still alive and the coral looks ok. The water in the bags is cold. J2 normaly fed ex dosen't arrive untill 3pm almost every time so I thought I would be ok. I can't have my package delivered to work. I work for a office furniture man. And I don't get a lunch break anyway. Well I hope I can save the other fish.
