    Right? I thought I had seen another thread in which you were having trouble with shipping...

    Hope it all works out for you and Mr. Basslet. I'm sure DD will take care of things for you...

    Seriously. I think it's my hub. They are terrible. I think I've had 5 packages (at least) delayed by now.

    I think I'm done shipping after this. It's just that online has such better selection.

    I feel so bad for the fish :(

    Around this part of the country, UPS is more reliable, but I don't hear things THIS bad about Fedex.

    Please don't take this the wrong way. Why did you have them ship you a fish right after all the storms and snow in the midwest knowing that thousands of flights were delayed and canceled. Making travelers and packages extremely backed up for arrival at their destination? Three boxes of fish and coral arrived at 42 degrees Fahrenheit today that was supposed to be here on Tuesday. They are very backed up due to the weather.

    I would assume that Indianapolis sent the package to Memphis due to the cleanup and all the backed up flights hoping that it would actually make it to you on time.

    DD was holding everything until FedEx told them there were no delays....so Fed Ex said everything was all clear.

    Oh, no no. It's ok. I'm sure others were wondering as well :)

    Yeah, DD delayed all their packages by at least a week. I can't imagine the back log they had!

    So yes, I put this one on Fed Ex.
