Zoanthids in the mail

[wax32]

What's the longest it's taken for you to get zoos in the mail, and were they still alive?
I ordered some zoos and they were shipped LAST monday, priority mail. Now it's a week later and I still haven't received them.
Is it a pipe dream for me to hope they are still alive? :thinking:

4 day priority mail and still alive took a day to open

I had mine shipped last monday and it didnt come in till friday. They are doing great!! It took them about a few days to open up. Some guy had his zoas in the mail for 11days and they turned out fine. Im sure you will get your zoas today or tomorrow by latest.
Good luck!!

I've had some take from Monday to Friday too. Those are doing fine. Monday to Monday, or who knows how much longer, is starting to worry me.

what you did wrong was you shipped them on a monday of a 4 day week, it would have been much better if you would have had them shipped out today

 

[wax32]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking.

 

[blue20051]

You have no tracking number?

 

[reefiness]

No, it's priority mail.

Makes you wonder what priority really means, other than a little more $... Know what I mean. Your neighbor probably has it, still meaning to walk it over, but keeps forgetting...
Hope it all works out and you get it soon!

I hope the heck not!

The mailman generally just leaves packages on the step.

These are what I am waiting on:

Number 1!

Number 2!

Number 3!
I sure do hope they make it!

NICE -

I really like the last one - St Patty's day Zoo

Wax you should be fine....I have a couple friends local here that ship zoos all the time priority and they do just fine

Priority usually takes only 3 business days. Not sure what their schedule was over Thanksgiving, but I'd expect them to arrive alive tomorrow.

Priority just means the weight made the cost over $3.85 , then as long as it's first class it becomes priority. No hurry thru the postal service unless you choose express. I work there and I wouldn't ship anything alive thru us.

Well, I got an email today, from FedEx, saying they picked up the package from them today and to expect a delivery on Thursday. I thought all this time it had been sent priority mail! Yeesh.

Now I'm not worried, but I am wondering, do I need to be home to sign for it or will FedEx leave it?

 

[littlebuck]

all depends on how the sender sent it. sometimes they will leave it but if they have singature confermation on it then u will need to be there.

 

[wax32]

I guess I'll email the sender and find out of they need signature confirmation.

 

[littlebuck]

most of the time they will leave it i think thats why most people send fed-ex. Good luck with ur order. Ill be getting my zoos thurday. I cant wait. These are one set im getting
