worried about fish shipment

It's almost always better after work is over for the weekend. Endler's are hardy fish, no worries about live arrival even w/out Express shipping.
 
Well, the seller sent me a pretty snotty response to my most recent email, but I'm trying to let it go.

My partner was able to retrieve the package before the post office closed and the fish were well packaged and health. I've acclimated them to their tank and put them in. (No other inhabitants, so no QT necessary.) They are lovely and active.

I'm trying not to let the whole ordering process sour the fact that I have a bunch of beautiful new fish to enjoy.
 
(Gazing into crystal ball) You'll get over the aggravation pretty quickly, but will enjoy the fish for quite some time... :thm:

Yes, I just went poking around PayPal and figured out how to add another address, and I'll certainly do that in the future, but I'm still peeved because I put the correct address right in my notes so it was still in the payment information.

Just heard from my partner. He drove home and got the delivery attempt note and, fortunately, they're being held at our local post office. He'll go pick them up as soon as he... um... "acquires" my signature on the form. (Anyone asks, I totally signed that form. Totally in person. :lipssealedsmilie:)

I'm sure my mood will improve a great deal once the fish and I are both home and my work week is officially over. Just gotta get through a few more hours.

a lot of people just print the label from the address paypal gives them. cant be mad that you sent the wrong address. many people will even state they wont ship to any other address since often how fraud happens.
 
I'm glad they got there safely, Cello. And all is well. A nice massage might smooth things over with that partner of yours, too. ;)

I got irritated with an online place a while back when I called up to see if the fish I'd ordered had shipped yet... because I needed to cancel the order. The guy on the phone checked it for me and said no... those fish had just arrived from the hatchery and hadn't been unboxed yet, much less parceled out for shipping. Great.. he cancelled the order and said my money would be refunded to my bank account within 3 days. Then sure enough, 4 hours later I got an email FEDEX Overnight Priority notice that they were shipped after all and due to arrive the next morning! I'll never buy anything from them again after that. It's just the wrong way to treat customers.

If that had been the only issue, I wouldn't have been upset. It was partly my fault for not knowing that I could have multiple addresses associated with my PayPal account.

He accepted payment in Oreos. All's well. :)

I'm glad you have them and they are healthy!

What kind of fish are they?

They are Endlers. I lost one female in the first 24 hours, but the others are healthy so I think it was shipping stress. Just one fry seen so far, but I think it might have been a premature drop because it was solo and did not look well. I'm not worried, because with any luck I'll be overrun with them soon.
 
we want pics!!!
