I sent 6 platinum whites, 6 orange dragon and 6 orange x pineapple.
Tracking showed them received on Tuesday
Tracking showed them on the Northwest side of Houston on Wednesday
Then they dissappeared - never arrived
Saturday tracking still showed them on the Northwest side of Houston.
Today there is no record of them.
Needless to say I will be in the Postofficefirst thing monday morning with my mad on and my tracking recept in my hand.

I can't stand USPS! And I'm not too fond of Fed-Ex either. After years of shipping packages I pefer UPS all the way. Knock on Wood.

JR your tracking # shows your fish left Houston on the 13.
Delvery com. is slower then overnight. But I would have felt
they should have been delivered by Sat.
Did you talk to the person you sent them to.
Sometimes a carrier may miss the scan.
They are also not scaned like express to keep up where they are at all the time.
But is intended to let you know when they arrived at the ship to address.
Good luck Jay

Well, they're back in the tracking system even if they are missing in action

They still aren't here. I've gotten fish from Rob in LV quicker. Don't know where they could have gone. Damn PO!!

As of Saturday morning we still don't know what hapened to them.

What was the survival rate? they were in the mail for a week... thats a pretty long time... hopefully they werent out in the cold too much...

[edmlfc]

Any update?

[PhishPhreek]

All bad news.

I checked with the local PO tuesday morning and they said they would be delivered later that day.

The package was delivered, but all 18 bettas were dead.
Even if I had used a 40 hour heat pack, it would not have lasted 8 days.

Sorry to hear that, it's really tragic, poor fishies and with only the USPS to blame :evil:. With shipping service like that you could have hand delivered them faster.

[edmlfc]

Sorry for the loss PP.
